Random countries

How it works

1. Choose a world region or the full collection. The available count updates with your selection.
2. Choose 1 to 100 countries. Leave different choices on to avoid duplicates within the result.
3. Pick countries, then copy or export the names for your lesson, quiz or research list.

Every eligible country gets one chance

The collection contains the 193 UN member states plus the Holy See and the State of Palestine, the two UN non-member observer states. Each included country has an equal chance regardless of population or area. Region filters follow the UN M49 statistical grouping: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.

Why might a place I expect be absent?

The list uses a stated membership scope rather than every country, territory or area in the broader M49 table. It does not include dependencies or other places outside that scope. The region groupings are for statistical organization; for example, the Americas is one group. This is a geography prompt, not a travel recommendation.
