Usage
Proper noun — no article is normally used before country names in Spanish, though 'la Alemania' may occasionally appear in literary or historical contexts.

As a proper noun (country name), it is always capitalized. No definite article is needed in standard modern Spanish: say 'Vivo en Alemania', not 'Vivo en la Alemania'.
