Country where I live, rail winding around it (7)
I believe the answer is:
liberia
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Liberia is a African country)
'i live rail winding around it' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'winding' is an anagram indicator.
'around it' is an insertion indicator.
'rail' is an anagram of 'lria'.
'i'+'be'='ibe'
'ibe' placed within 'lria' is 'LIBERIA'.
'where' is the link.
(Other definitions for liberia that I've seen before include "NW African Republic" , "W African Republic" , "W. African nation" , "West African nation" , "African republic, capital Monrovia" .)
