State as parochial as Kansas in part (6)
I believe the answer is:
alaska
'state' is the definition.
(Alaska is an example)
'parochial as kansas in part' is the wordplay.
'in part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ALASKA' is hidden in the letters of 'parochial as kansas'.
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for alaska that I've seen before include "Cold US state" , "cold place" , "American state, capital Juneau" , "49th US state" , "NW US state" .)
