The name parameter

The {{Location map}} family of templates uses the value assigned to name to generate alt text. It is used to construct the sentence "label is located in name". Assign a value to <name> that fits in the sentence. For example:

Chicago is located in the United States. So |name=the United States.

Santo Domingo is located in the Dominican Republic. So |name=the Dominican Republic.
