Firstly, generate 12 countries. You can either pick three different countries for each partner’s nationality and the location, pick two (one for both partners’ nationality and another for the location), or just pick one country for everything.

---

Next, choose your starting couple’s names, or generate them from the link listed above. If you use the name generator, pick settings that correspond with each parent’s nationality.

Lastly, decide on their looks. You may choose these using the criteria below as guidance to fit in with their country of birth, or - if their native country is quite diverse - you may roll for pot-luck looks!
