Almost entitle Chinese to run country? (13)
I believe the answer is:
liechtenstein
'country?' is the definition.
(I know that Liechtenstein is a European country)
'almost entitle chinese to run' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the first letter.
'to run' is an anagram indicator.
'entitle'+'chinese'='entitlechinese'
'entitlechinese' with its first letter taken away is 'ntitlechinese'.
'ntitlechinese' anagrammed gives 'LIECHTENSTEIN'.
(Other definitions for liechtenstein that I've seen before include "Landlocked Alpine principality, capital Vaduz" , "European principality, capital Vaduz" , "bit of Europe" , "part of Europe" , "Principality of central Europe" .)
