About Random Country
Random Country picks from all 193 member states of the United Nations plus the two observer states, Vatican City and Palestine — 195 in total. Each pick shows the flag, capital, continent, main languages, currency and a notable fact.
Use it for geography quizzes, travel daydreams, trivia nights, or to learn about a place you know nothing about. Filter by continent to focus on one part of the world.
Ideas
- Geography quiz: hide the result, read the fact, and guess the country.
- Cook a dish from each country you land on — see Random Food.
How it works
The pool holds 195 countries. Each press picks one uniformly at random with your browser's cryptographic random number generator (the Web Crypto API), so every country is equally likely, and the same one is never shown twice in a row.
The list is fetched once — only when you first press the button — and cached, so every pick after that is instant.
Without JavaScript the button still works: it asks our server for a pick instead.
