Another life, at random

Born
Somewhere

You could have been born anywhere.

One birth, one dot, somewhere


Where were you born?

One dot. Another possibility.

Where do the figures come from?

No figure is made up. All come from public bodies or recognised indices, collected in October 2026. The draw is weighted by each country’s real population. The main language is a simplification: many countries speak several.

How it works

A draw weighted by population

Tell us where you were born. Born Somewhere rerolls your birth somewhere else on Earth, with odds proportional to each country’s real population: nearly one draw in five lands in India, almost none in Luxembourg.

Your life there, in figures

Life expectancy, standard of living, years of school, democracy, peace, access to electricity and the Internet, inequality, press freedom, women’s rights and passport: each indicator compares your home country with your new dot.

Public data

The figures come from the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, UNDP, RSF and other recognised bodies. No account needed, and your first name stays on your device.
