Great Uni Hack 2025 Project
Explore. Compare. Combine. Discover what happens when two countries and their worlds collide.
Country Collide is an interactive web platform where users can explore, compare, and creatively merge two countries. Using real-world data, AI reasoning, and cultural context, it helps you visualize what happens when nations blend — and even plan your next trip there.
Built using Globe.gl, users can spin, zoom, and click directly on a 3D globe to select or search for any two countries.
A side-by-side, data-rich comparison of:
- Population, GDP, and land area
- Environmental impact and emissions
- Weather, climate, and geography
- Crime rates and Olympic wins
Hit Combine Countries to generate a new “hybrid nation”:
- Fuses key statistics
- Generates a creative, AI-written cultural profile
- Suggests the new country’s name, identity, and combined country svg outline
An Agentic AI Travel Planner acts as your personal guide for exploring the selected countries.
Capabilities:
- Plans detailed itineraries with suggested destinations
- Estimates flight and accommodation costs
- Recommends food, activities, and local experiences
- Uses ElevenLabs TTS to speak your travel summary aloud
A second Agentic AI module generates a Health and Wellbeing Report based on the countries selected.
Features:
- Analyzes healthcare quality, accessibility, and spending
- Compares life expectancy, happiness index, and lifestyle factors
- Highlights environmental health indicators (air quality, pollution, green space)
- Creates a persistent, saved markdown report — so users can revisit and track comparisons over time
🩺 It’s an intelligent wellness analyst that turns country-level data into human-level insights.

We asked ourselves:
“What if you could merge two countries — their cultures, data, and people — into something new?”
That curiosity evolved into a global exploration tool that visualizes how data, creativity, and AI can collide to tell new stories about our world.
- Building immersive 3D visualizations with Globe.gl
- Creating agentic AI systems that reason, plan, and persist data
- Integrating TTS (ElevenLabs) for interactive, voice-driven output
- Turning raw data into meaningful, human-readable insights
