orlando

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

'us city' is the definition.
(city in Florida)

'licence to kill republican win' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'republican' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'win' could be 'land' (both can mean to secure or obtain) and 'land' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'oo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'inside' acts as a link.
