It seems many countries that use 'The' before their name aren't being included in this quiz, so if that's the case could you possibly add something into the description to specify that?
Cool quiz, thanks. Certainly always gonna have dissenters worrying about "the" and "el" etc, so don't worry about drawing the line somewhere. Isn't "Ivory Coast" the standard in COTW by the way?
the bahamas
the gambia
the chad republic
the ukraine
the netherlands
among some others
1. The Gambia.
2. The Bahamas.
These two countries should be the only ones who ask to be referred to with the inclusion of ‘The’ in name.
This is not the case with many other countries like the netherlands, the ukraine, the sudan etc… only applies this way to The Gambia and The Bahamas.
