Prince of Rosh?

What are your scholarly opinions of this verse regarding Rosh is it a nation or a position? Translations obviously differ and because of that the interpetation of scripture will vary.
As I've said I do use NKJV as a companion to my KJV I believe one is right the other wrong. I for one agree wholeheartly with the KJV. Others IMHO will lead others astray as to who will be coming against Israel.
So with all other Bible translations out there can you convince me that Rosh is Rus (Russia) and not Rosh like in Rosh Hoshanna? One is Scandanavian the other ancient Hebrew.
