Terms of Service
Last updated: September 17, 2026
Using this site
Country at Random provides free random-generator tools -- a random country generator, a random capital tool, a random flag tool, a random US state picker, a random continent tool, a random language tool, and a full country list -- for entertainment, education, trivia and everyday decision-making. No account or sign-up is required, and there is no charge to use any page on this site.
Not for gambling, wagering, or legally binding decisions
These tools are for entertainment, education and everyday decision-making -- studying geography, settling a trivia question, picking a country to research next. They are not designed, certified, or licensed for real-money gambling, wagering, games of chance with a cash prize, official sweepstakes administration, or any decision where a random outcome carries legal or regulatory weight. Don't rely on this site for any of those purposes.
How results are generated
Every result on this site is generated using your browser's built-in cryptographically-secure random number generator (the Web Crypto API), with unbiased rejection sampling and, for without-repeats draws, the Fisher-Yates algorithm -- both standard, well-documented approaches to unbiased randomness, described on each tool's own page and verified by this site's own automated test suite. No result is stored, predetermined, or replayable, and nothing about a shared result link changes or predicts the outcome of a future draw made from it.
Accuracy of country and state data
Country and US state facts are drawn from cited third-party sources, listed on the About page and the Country List, and may become outdated between the fetch date shown and your visit (populations change continuously; political status and borders can change too). This site makes a good-faith effort to cite and correct known errors but does not guarantee the current accuracy of any fact, and nothing here should be treated as an authoritative source for academic, legal, journalistic, or official use -- consult the cited primary sources directly for that.
No affiliation
Country at Random is an independent site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of the United Nations, the U.S. Census Bureau, any government, or any of the third-party data sources it cites.
No warranty
This site is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Use of any tool or content on this site is at your own risk.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Country at Random and its operator are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this site or its content, including any decision made using its tools.
Advertising
This site may display ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. See the Privacy Policy for details on how those networks use cookies and similar technologies.
Content
The text, design, and code on this site belong to Country at Random unless otherwise noted. The underlying country and US state reference data belongs to, and is licensed by, the third-party sources cited on the About page; their respective licences govern reuse of that data independent of this site's own content. You're welcome to link to any page here; please don't republish or scrape this site's own text and code wholesale without permission.
Changes
These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
