Superior neighbour in the US (8)
I believe the answer is:
michigan
This might be a double definition.
'superior neighbour' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'us' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'in the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for michigan that I've seen before include "I'm aching to go out the US state" , "US state and Great Lake" , "American state, capital Lansing" , "US Great Lakes state" , "Lake by which Chicago stands" .)
