Son1ofrover1, I agree that the three-letter unclued on the left is an abbreviation, but Buddy is correct in #7. To maintain consistency of entry you need an actual (female) leader, not a title

Thank you very much
quisling (and apologies/kudos to buddy). Anagrammatising, rather than reversing, the relevant word in the clue not only resolves my dissatisfaction with it but also dovetails with the format of all the other shorter World words. I maintain my view on 'giants ... perhaps' though !
