Arranging a race, I'm from the States (7)
I believe the answer is:
america
'states' is the definition.
(I know that America is North American country)
'arranging a race i'm' is the wordplay.
'arranging' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'race'+'im'='araceim'
'araceim' with letters rearranged gives 'AMERICA'.
'from the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for america that I've seen before include "Federation" , "United States" , "Curious camera I take to the continent" , "Western land mass" , "Camera I take to the continent, oddly" .)
