I'd recommend Lucayan Archipelago also known as the Bahama Archipelago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucayan_Archipelago, but not Bahamas (as in Island Group) or The Bahamas (the country) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bahamas. But it raises an interesting question of whether the ISLAND GROUP is a subgroup within the country or the archipelago that the country is within. And if we do this, do we add Lucayan Archipelago or Bahamas Achipelago to the Bahamas entry? Can we change that country's name from Bahamas to The Bahamas (or Commonwealth of The Bahamas)? Adding all the districts in The Bahamas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_in_the_Bahamas#Districts_of_the_Bahamas might also help and that's something I can do as we have need in our collection. Yep, it's a mess!

Tabling - these never get action, #3272 would allow Arctos to standardize geography.
