Country where some litter scattered (5-5)

I believe the answer is:

timor-leste

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

'country' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'some litter scattered' is the wordplay.
'scattered' is an anagram indicator.
'some'+'litter'='somelitter'
'somelitter' is an anagram of 'TIMOR-LESTE'.

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for timor-leste that I've seen is " Asian State".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
