A side note to a side note:
Don't say "The Yukon" to a resident. That would refer to the river and they may point that out to you. Also, no to "The Ukraine". There is no definite article in Ukrainian, so how the "the" got there, I don't know. "The Argentine" used to be common generations ago, but that referred to "La Argentina" which is how the country should be called—Spanish has quite a few place names with a definite article, for ex., La Habana. Please file in somewhat useless file.
