53a I could stand for this ahead of Juliet. I have I*d*a and feel the answer may be India. However, I don't see how. It would be appreciated to have the answer and also how it was arrived at. Thank you in advance. Puzzled John

It's India.

In the phonetic alphabet, I stands for India followed by J that stands for Juliet.

So, India is ahead of Juliet.

@timur,
Thanks Timur. Straightforward when explained. I never even considered the phonetic alphabet!
