Ah, ok then, for this Q I guess we're using the short names.
As far as I know the English translation of the official names of some of the above are:
Republic of Togo
Democratic Republic of Congo
The Commonwealth Of The Bahamas
Republic of Chad“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

Just thought of a few others:
Ghana
Yemen
Qatar
Myanmar (does "y" count as a vowel? )“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

Congo because there are two countries of that nam one os known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, the other as the Republic of Congo
Czech Republic because rEpUblIc
Honk Konk isn't a country it is an autonomous region of China.
Sxmenke' 3 are correct.

Seychelles and possibly Egypt.

I reckon that the ones where "Y" is used as a vowel don't count, ie Yemen is OK but Egypt isn't
