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

'land' is the definition.
(I know that Qatar is a Asian country)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for qatar that I've seen before include "Gulf sheikhdom" , "who won the cup in 2010?" , "State in the Persian Gulf" , "Tiny gulf state" , "Arab country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
