❓Frequently Asked Questions
How many countries are included in the random generator database?▾
The database includes all 193 United Nations member states, plus the 2 official UN permanent observer states (Vatican City and Palestine), for a total of 195 universally recognized sovereign nations. You can also toggle dependent territories and island regions.
Can I filter countries by a specific continent?▾
Yes! Use the continent dropdown to narrow your results to Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, or Oceania. This is especially helpful for localized geography tests and regional study drills.
How do teachers and students use this for geography trivia games?▾
Educators use our "Hide Capital" or "Hide Flag" quiz mode to test classroom knowledge. When a country appears, students guess its capital city, national flag colors, or neighboring borders before revealing the answer.
Are ISO 3166 standard country codes provided?▾
Yes. Every country card provides both the 2-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. JP for Japan) and the 3-letter alpha-3 code (e.g. JPN), which is essential for software developers building shipping and localization forms.
Can I generate multiple countries without duplicates?▾
Yes. When generating multiple countries for tournament group stages or Model UN assignments, toggle "Unique Countries" to ensure no nation is drawn more than once.
Can I use this tool for vacation planning roulette?▾
