Not one large banking firm raised capital for province (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
nova scotia
'province' is the definition.
(province of Canada)
'not one large banking firm raised capital' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'not' could be 'no' (negative) and 'no' is present in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'firm' could be 'co' (a firm is a company) and 'co' is found in the answer.
'large' could be 'vast' (similar in meaning) and 'vast' is located in the leftover letters.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nova scotia that I've seen before include "Canadian province" , "Atlantic region" , "Canadian peninsula" .)
