We must use the definite article "the" before countries which are in the plural form.
For example:
the Netherlands, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates.
Similarly, we use the definite article "the" with the countries which have such words as:"Republic"; "Kingdom"; States"
For example:
the Dominican Republic, the United Kingdom, the United States
