(the) Bukowina, Krain, Krajina
Google searches indicate that there are no English forms of the place names with the exception of Bukowina where about half of the pages had 'the Bukowina' and the other half 'Bukowina'.
The 'the' question is as uncertain as in most other 'the' place names like
'(the) Congo', '(the) Sahara, '(the) Ukraine', '(the) Yemen', '(the) Tyrol/Tirol'
Another category:
'the Argentine' (but 'Argentina'), the Antarctic (but 'Antarctica')
Place names with appelatives are more definite though:
the United Kindom, the Soviet Union, the United States (the US), the Middle East, the North Cape
