Crossword Genius

Inuit as translated in African country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tunisia

'african country' is the definition.
(country in Africa)

'inuit as translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'inuit'+'as'='inuitas'
'inuitas' is an anagram of 'TUNISIA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tunisia that I've seen before include "African republic on the Mediterranean coast" , "Country between Algeria/Libya" , "African state" , "Country in North Africa" , "country-style" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
