Question "the" for countries

Question "the" for countries
 
Hi fellows I have always told my students that, when they refer to countries  like "the United Sates of America, The UK etc. They must use "THE" before the country, but I have seen that there are some exceptions. When can we omit the use of "THE" for these kind of countries?

Thanks so much.
