A wee pun again devised to encapsulate timeless place in country (5,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

papua new guinea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country' is the definition.
(Papua New Guinea is an example)

'a wee pun again devised to encapsulate timeless place in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for papua new guinea that I've seen before include "State" , "Country to north of Australia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
