European article published about revolutionary Pole (8)
I believe the answer is:
andorran
'european' is the definition.
(Andorran is an example)
'article published about revolutionary pole' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'published' becomes 'ran' (running is a kind of publishing).
'about' says to put letters next to each other.
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written backwards.
'pole' becomes 'rod' (synonyms).
'rod' in reverse letter order is 'dor'.
'ran' put after 'dor' is 'dorran'.
'an'+'dorran'='ANDORRAN'
(Other definitions for andorran that I've seen before include "Native to a principality in the Pyrenees" , "European" , "Resident of microstate" .)
