How this tool helps

The generator draws from 197 country entries: 193 UN member states, the two UN observer states (the Holy See and Palestine), Taiwan, and Kosovo. Results can include a capital, map, codes, population, currency, languages, borders, culture, landmarks, food, and travel-season notes when those fields are available. The July 2026 bundle has not received complete per-item source or native-language review and is a provisional research prompt, not live or authoritative data.

Product behavior

01

Visible-name filtering

The prefix applies to the localized name shown on screen.

02

Stable identifiers

Alpha-2/alpha-3 codes retain a stable link across locales; Kosovo uses project code XK.

03

Recoverable maps

The map may fail independently without hiding the country result.

04

197 entries with a stated inclusion rule

The pool contains 193 UN members, two UN observer states, Taiwan, and Kosovo. ISO 3166-1 codes are shown where assigned; Kosovo uses the common XK/XKX placeholder in this dataset.

Country generator FAQ

What exactly is included in the 197 entries?

193 UN member states, the Holy See and Palestine as UN observer states, plus Taiwan and Kosovo. This is an editorial country list, not a claim that every entry has the same international legal status.

How current are the facts?

The page uses a static bundle assembled in July 2026 without complete per-item source or native-language review. Population estimates, political details, borders, travel seasons, and cultural summaries can change; verify a current official source when precision matters.

Does the prefix use English?

No. It matches the visible localized country name.

What if the map fails?

After nine seconds the map area offers a retry while the country details remain visible.

Release boundary

Common names, currencies, and languages use CLDR-backed Intl projections where available; capital labels use pinned locale modules derived from Wikidata. The panel does not expose a separately reviewed official-name field. Population, culture, national-dish, and travel fields lack a complete per-item source ledger and remain provisional.
