Crossword Genius

State gift Anna has ordered (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afghanistan

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

'gift anna has ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'gift'+'anna'+'has'='giftannahas'
'giftannahas' with letters rearranged gives 'AFGHANISTAN'.

(Other definitions for afghanistan that I've seen before include "Country with capital Kabul" , "This type of country" , "Landlocked Asian country" , "dangerous country" , "republic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
