Area is spread around you, land including Turkey (7)
I believe the answer is:
austria
'area' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'spread around you land including turkey' is the wordplay.
'spread around' is an insertion indicator.
'you' becomes 'u' (commonly used in online communication).
'land' becomes 'asia' (Asia is an example).
'including' is an insertion indicator.
'turkey' becomes 'tr' (abbreviation eg in internet addresses).
'u' inserted into 'asia' is 'ausia'.
'ausia' placed around 'tr' is 'AUSTRIA'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for austria that I've seen before include "German-speaking republic" , "The Von Trapps lived there" , "Country of Graz and Linz" , "Strauss country" , "Central European republic" .)
