Nose reconstruction in subcontinent or somewhere further east (9)
I believe the answer is:
indonesia
'somewhere further east' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'nose reconstruction in subcontinent' is the wordplay.
'reconstruction' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'reconstructions' mean this).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'subcontinent' becomes 'india' (I've seen this before).
'nose' is an anagram of 'ones'.
'ones' placed inside 'india' is 'INDONESIA'.
'or' is the link.
(Other definitions for indonesia that I've seen before include "Asian country, capital Jakarta" , "SE Asian country" , "State" , "Asian republic" , "somewhere in Asia" .)
