Random Country Generator
Spin to pick a random country — all 193 UN members, or one region.
How to use the country generator
Choose all countries or one region.
Spin the wheel.
Turn on "Remove winner" to go through countries without repeats.
Which countries are included?
The list contains the 193 member states of the United Nations, grouped by the UN's M49 regions: Africa (54), the Americas (35), Asia (47), Europe (43) and Oceania (14). Observer states and territories (for example Palestine, the Holy See, Taiwan or Kosovo) are not on the default list — add them yourself if your game needs them.

About the regions
The UN groups some countries differently from everyday usage — for example, Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia are in Asia, and Russia is in Europe. The wheel follows the UN grouping so the lists are consistent.
