State regalia thrown out (7)
I believe the answer is:
algeria
'state' is the definition.
(I know that Algeria is a African country)
'regalia thrown out' is the wordplay.
'thrown out' is an anagram indicator.
'regalia' with letters rearranged gives 'ALGERIA'.
(Other definitions for algeria that I've seen before include "country in Africa" , "Strange regalia of a North African state" , "Land" , "N. African country" , "It lies between Morocco and Tunisia" .)
