Random US State Generator

This geographic discovery tool randomly selects from the complete database of 50 United States with comprehensive factual information about each state. The data model includes official details (capital city, abbreviation, admission date and order, population estimates, land area), cultural elements (nickname, state motto, state bird, state flower), regional classification, and curated fun facts highlighting unique characteristics.

Users filter generations by five geographic regions—Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and West—or generate from all states for maximum variety. The batch mode produces 1-10 states simultaneously, useful for geography games, travel planning exercises, or educational quizzes. Each state card displays information in organized sections: quick stats (capital, population, area, admission order), famous for highlights, interesting fun facts, and state symbols.

Population figures derive from 2023 US Census estimates ensuring contemporary accuracy. Fun facts emphasize genuinely interesting trivia—Alabama received the first 911 call, Wyoming was first to grant women voting rights, Rhode Island is smallest by area but Connecticut is most densely populated. Applications include educational geography exercises, travel destination randomization, trivia game hosting, or simply exploring American state diversity. One-click copy exports state summaries for documentation or sharing.
