Genuine about Government, like many a ruler (5)
I believe the answer is:
regal
'many a ruler' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'genuine about government' is the wordplay.
'genuine' becomes 'real' (similar in meaning).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'government' becomes 'g' (abbreviation for government).
'real' going around 'g' is 'REGAL'.
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regal that I've seen before include "Royal - lager (anag)" , "Befitting a monarch" , "Like a queen?" , "King's" , "Magnificent, dignified" .)
