Just Ukraine, not The Ukraine, just like its Russia, not The Russia...

Grammar nazi duties fulfilled for the day... ;)
In truth, bill it more to the stupidity of the rules of English than anything . . .

The statement "Made in . . . " would have some countries get a "the" and some not, but I think it is ties to the "plurality" of the name. I always see it with the Netherlands, Bahamas, Philippines and even the United Kingdom - so the "s" does not even seem to be a requirement. English is one wacky language.
 
So glad to see the Mutants so loved . When they 1st came out I bought one and if you talked about it on air gun sites they were called trash guns , Made in someone's garage. And no matter how many super accurate targets you posted it was a lie and your post was taken down, You were given warnings and banded from the site, My name used to be IRIDE.

Indeed we do, and that is proper English, or are just the English just proper English? Is Wales even English? I think we speak American but then that's just middle North America, the top-hat has their own dialects and even they have a bunch of Frenchies out East that throw a wrench into the mix! ;)
I usually like to refer to the British as speaking European American and its usually good for a few rustled jimmies in the comment sections
