Every country on Earth, one click away
This country name generator covers the 193 member states of the United Nations plus the two observer states, Vatican City and Palestine — 195 in total. Each result shows the country’s flag, capital and subregion. Filter to Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe or Oceania for focused geography practice, or generate a batch for a capitals quiz.
Teachers use it for “country of the week” projects, travellers for spin-the-globe trip planning, quiz hosts for flag and capital rounds, and cooks for a world-cuisine challenge (“cook a dish from this country”). Territories and partially recognised states such as Greenland, Puerto Rico, Taiwan and Kosovo aren’t in the default list, but you can add them to the country wheel’s entries yourself. Flags are shown as emoji, so they look slightly different on each device.
