State of a crashed plane (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nepal

'state' is the definition.
(Nepal is an example)

'a crashed plane' is the wordplay.
'a crashed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'plane' is an anagram of 'NEPAL'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nepal that I've seen before include "somewhere in the Himalayas" , "somewhere in Asia" , "Asian country -- plane (anag)" , "Asian country, capital Kathmandu" , "Hindu kingdom in south Asia" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
