Split region turning to Africa after renouncing force (7)
I believe the answer is:
croatia
'split region' is the definition.
'Croatia' can be an answer for 'region' (Croatia is an example). I am not certain of the 'split' bit.
'turning to africa after renouncing force' is the wordplay.
'turning' indicates anagramming the letters.
'after renouncing' suggests deleting specific letters.
'force' becomes 'f' (scientific abbreviation).
'to'+'africa'='toafrica'
'toafrica' with 'f' removed is 'toarica'.
'toarica' with letters rearranged gives 'CROATIA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for croatia that I've seen before include "Split country?" , "From small country" , "Land in South-East Europe" , "European republic, became independent in 1991" , "Republic in SE Europe, capital Zagreb" .)
