Firstly, I assumed we were talking about the Republic of the Congo because I've never seen someone refer to the DRC as "the Congo." So my bad for that. If people from either Congo consider "the Congo" problematic, then fair enough, I understand what you're saying and I can try to change. I had always thought it was different from Ukraine in that "the" was intentionally left in the official name, similarly to the Gambia - which is also named after a river.
