Lead with another one around country (5,4) Can't parse why it is Costa Rica!  Thanks

[Neveracrossword]

Co Star is the 'lead with another' and add I, one, to get Costa Rica,country.

[Neveracrossword]

and Ca is the 'around', circa, Latin, often used in crosswords.

Thanks for the explanation Neveracrossword - very convoluted !!

[chelle7272]

lead with another one = costar + i

Around - circa = ca

Maxymax474, glad I could help. Yes, the three bits involved in the parsing were a bit tricky - especially when I initially forgot to include one!
