State courts putting me inside (7)
I believe the answer is:
austria
'state' is the definition.
(Austria is an example)
'courts putting me inside' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'me' could be 'us' ('us' can mean 'me' in some dialects) and 'us' is found within the answer.
'courts' could be 'atria' (atrium is a kind of court) and 'atria' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for austria that I've seen before include "The capital is Vienna (7)" , "Landlocked European country" , "part of Europe" , "US tiara to be found in this country, oddly" , "One state" .)
