🌍 Random Country Generator
Pick a random country for your next trip, geography quiz or learning challenge.
About this generator
The world has nearly two hundred countries, and most of us know a lot about just a handful of them. This random country generator helps you widen your horizons by choosing from a broad mix of well-known destinations and lesser-known places, from Japan, Brazil and Norway to Bhutan, Estonia, Madagascar and Uruguay.
Use it for planning your next holiday, setting a geography challenge or choosing a theme for a dinner party. Once you've got a country, try finding out its capital, its flag, one famous dish and one unusual fact. It's a great way to turn a spare half hour into a mini lesson.
Families can use it to start a 'country of the week' routine: cook a dish from the country, listen to its music and find it on a map. Teachers can use it to assign research topics, and quiz fans can use it to practise capital cities and flags.
