Evening all.

Just finished and believe it or not, I was stuck on a couple of the same clues as Thicky. Fortunately, I got them before I logged on.
I agree with Caravaggio that 7d was not a very good answer, let alone a clue.
For those who dont get the RT it was
Could be mistaken during revolution of country (12)

Heres a clue - its a country you have probably never even heard of

Just checked AB and find that the first request for answers was at 9.58 this morning. Not much effort there!

Philip - I too am stuck on 7d but please dont tell me the answer - I like to do some work. Can you at least give me which continent this country is on so I have something to work on.

thanks in advance!

Just finished and didn't even look at this thread until it was done. Strangely enough, 7D was the first clue I solved.

For old gal: the republic in question is in the former Russian territory in Central Asia and its flag looks like this:

Hope that helps.

I am very impressed with the crossword-solving and flag-reproduction of John (from Arran) but am no nearer solving this country..are there any available letters?

Hi Kemlo,

The country is an anagram of the word mistaken and turn - a synonym for revolution. If you've never used the Universal Anagram Solver site, now's your chance...

Regards,

Caravaggio
