What's a good fake city name?
Good invented city names usually combine a real-sounding root with a common place suffix, such as Ashford Bay, Merrivale, Port Halden, Stonebridge Falls, Calverton or Silverpine. Suffixes like -ton, -ville, -burg, -ford, -haven and -mouth make a name feel like it belongs on a map, while a nature word or a surname at the front gives it character. If you want real cities instead, this generator draws from actual world cities for travel and trivia.

What is a random town in the US?
A random pick might land on Bozeman, Montana; other examples of the kind of place that turns up are Ithaca, New York; Sedona, Arizona; Paducah, Kentucky; and Walla Walla, Washington. Use the generator on this page to get a random pick from its list of world cities, which includes US destinations.
What is the randomest country?
No country is objectively more random than another; randomness describes how a choice is made, not the place itself. Small or little-visited countries like Nauru, Bhutan, Suriname or Kiribati tend to feel random simply because most people rarely hear about them.
