This country is in ruin — am I biased? (7)
I believe the answer is:
namibia
'this country' is the definition.
(Namibia is an example)
'in ruin am i biased?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NAMIBIA' can be found hidden inside 'ruin am i biased'.
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for namibia that I've seen before include "African country - I am a bin (anag)" , "Southern African country" , "SW African state" , "Southwest African country" , "African republic" .)
