State of tipsy tailor on ranch (5,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

north carolina

'state' is the definition.
(North Carolina is an example)

'tipsy tailor on ranch' is the wordplay.
'tipsy' is an anagram indicator.
'tailor'+'on'+'ranch'='tailoronranch'
'tailoronranch' with letters rearranged gives 'NORTH CAROLINA'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for north carolina that I've seen before include "US state S. of Virginia" , "One of the original 13 colonies of the United States, capital Raleigh" , "State of eastern USA" , "US state, capital Raleigh" .)
