orlando

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

'city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gold territory with nothing to the east' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'gold' could be 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold) and 'or' is located in the answer.
'territory' could be 'land' (land is a kind of territory) and 'land' is found in the answer.
'nothing' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
