Foreign government? (5)

I believe the answer is:

reign

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

'foreign government?' is the definition.
'reign' can be an answer for 'government?' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'foreign' bit.

'foreign government?' is the wordplay.
'REIGN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reign that I've seen before include "Sovereignty" , "Predominance" , "Occupy the throne" , "Niger (anag)" , "Time on throne" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
