Answer:
There's actually four countries that have ''the'' in their names:
- The Bahamas
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
- Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Republic of the Congo
Step-by-step explanation:
There are officially 193 countries in the world that are part of the United Nations, but there are lot of others that have proclaimed independence but are only recognized by one or several countries, but not in the United Nations, thus do not have the status of independent countries. In the everyday communication the people use article ''the'' for lot of countries in the world, like ''the United States'' or ''the United Kingdom'', but those are actually not correct terms, as ''the is not part of the official names of these countries. There are only four countries in the world that officially have ''the'' in their names. Two of them are from the Central African region, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Republic of the Congo. The other two are small island nations in North America, The Bahamas, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
