lancashire

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

'county' is the definition.
(English county)

'country inadequately supplied with money anger ensues' is the wordplay.
'country inadequately' becomes 'lan' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'supplied with' says to put letters next to each other.
'money' becomes 'cash' (cash is a type of money).
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'ensues' says to put letters next to each other (ensue can mean to follow).
'lan'+'cash'+'ire'='LANCASHIRE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
