The 'UN' bit = Most countries.

Clue should read 'Reject a couple AFTER I have embraced most countries'

Junk (reject)

Couple AFTER 'I' = JK as in the alphabet (ijk) embraced most countries (UN) UNITED NATIONS (Most countries)

I am aware I get through this crossword on a wing and a prayer at times. Mea Culpa.

Despite having a number of letters I can't seem to see the following two:
5d "Fee, mostly, is what one works for" (4-5)

I?O? M?N?R

30d "Rent for which eg nine pounds raised more than enough" (7)

O?E?I?G looks like could be OPENING but can't see parsing

Any help much appreciated
