Articles are not used before names of countries. But, there are a few exceptions. When you simply take the common names of countries, like India, Britain, China, Taiwan, America, you do not use an article.But, when you refer to their union or their republic, then you use the article 'the'; The Republic of India, The United Kingdom, The Republic of China, The United States of America.
