[Geocoding] Countries not loaded in Nominatim base installation?

Hi,

I just installed the Nominatim geocoder and loaded the Andorra.pbf dataset.

I saw that in the Nominatim project, there are multiple .sql file in the
data/ folder with country names and polygon that were injected in the
database during the installation process.

Files:
   - country_name.sql
   - country_naturalearthdata.sql
   - country_osm_grid.sql
   - us_state.sql
   - us_country.sql

I was assuming that with this base installation I would be able to query
Nominatim with different country names and that it would provide me
results... but it does not. No result found each time.

Did I miss a step in the installation process to be able to use the content
of those file in the Nominatim query?

Is there a way to use retrieve this data in query?

Thanks,

Christian
