La is used with countries whose names end with "e". L' is used with countries whose names start with a vowel. Le is used for rest of the countries. But, there is an exception with Mexique. We call it Le Mexique.

It depends on the masculin or feminin nouns. If it's masculin and name not starting with voyelle, then you use Le, if its feminin and not starting with Voyelle, use La or else use L' for the name staring with voyelle.
