Pick a country without choosing it yourself

A random country wheel takes the decision out of your hands. It holds all 195 countries, the 193 UN member states plus the Holy See and Palestine, and every spin gives each one the same chance. Filter it to a single continent when you want a smaller pool, then spin and see the winning country with its flag.

How to use the country wheel

  1. Pick one or more continents, or keep every country on the wheel.
  2. Untick any country you want to leave out.
  3. Spin. The result shows the country, its flag and its continent. Remove it and spin again to avoid repeats.

Ways to use a random country

  • Choose your next trip, or the country behind tonight’s dinner theme.
  • Run a geography quiz: spin, then name the capital or find it on a map.
  • Hand out countries for school projects, model UN or a class presentation.
  • Pick a nation for a strategy game campaign.
  • Draw teams for a sweepstake or a trivia night round.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick a random country?

Spin a random country wheel that holds every country, so each one has an equal chance and nobody’s preference decides. Narrow the wheel to one continent first if you want a country from a particular part of the world.

How many countries are there in the world?

Most counts give 195 countries: the 193 member states of the United Nations plus the two UN observer states, the Holy See and Palestine. Lists that count more usually add territories whose status is disputed or that are not UN members.

How can I choose a travel destination at random?

Filter a random country wheel to the continent you can realistically reach, remove the countries you have already visited, and spin. Leaving out the places you would never go keeps the result exciting without turning it into a plan you will ignore.

What is a fun geography game with a random country?

Spin a random country and have each player name its capital, its flag colors or a neighboring country, scoring a point for every correct answer. Limiting the wheel to one continent makes the game easier for younger players.

Can I stop the same country coming up twice?

The SpinnerWheel country wheel lets you remove the winning country after each spin, so the same country cannot come up again until you put it back.
