Morphology

republic + of + Bolivia

Knowing 'republic' (a state governed by elected representatives) and 'Bolivia' (the country) lets a learner infer that 'Republic of Bolivia' names the republic/state called Bolivia; the preposition 'of' simply links the two. This is a common, compositional naming pattern cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Republic of Bolivia was named after the independence leader Simón Bolívar: Bolivia is his name and Republic means 'a country without a king'. The name was chosen in 1825 after independence, so today it reminds people the nation is free and honours Bolívar.
