Republic + of + Panama
The meaning 'the republic state named Panama' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'Republic' + 'of' + 'Panama'; knowing each word gives the full referential meaning. The 'Republic of X' naming pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard country-naming conventions, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will understand it.
Etymology
Republic of Panama puts together Republic, meaning an 'independent country', and Panama, a local place name that may come from a word for 'many fish' because its coasts were full of fish. So the name helps you remember it is the independent country by rich seas and land.
