This random country generator draws from the Unicode CLDR list of English country and territory names: 257 entries, each shown with its flag and two-letter region code. It goes beyond UN member states, so places like Greenland, Antarctica, or the Canary Islands can come up too.
How to use the random country generator
- Drag the How many slider to choose 1 to 8.
- Click Pick. A single draw never repeats a country.
- Every entry has the same chance each time.
- Use Copy all to copy the names, or click New picks for another draw.

- Travel ideas: find places you'd never have thought to look up.
- Flag games: show the flag and let players guess the country.
- Classroom research: assign each student a country to present.
Frequently asked questions
How many countries are in the random country generator?
The current release has 257 CLDR country and territory entries, after removing non-geographic codes.
Is the selection unbiased?
Yes. Every entry has the same chance, so a small territory turns up as often as a large country.
Can I pick more than one country at a time?
Yes. Set the count up to 8 and click Pick.
Does this tool use the complete list?
It uses the full CLDR English territory list minus non-geographic codes such as EU, UN, and ZZ. Since what counts as a country is partly political, the list includes dependencies and disputed areas alongside sovereign states.
