I'm going to guess that random here doesn't quite mean random. The Republic of the Congo probably wasn't on his list of possible places to live... Realistically, probably half of the countries in the world or more I wouldn't want to live in. I'm going to assume he probably pre-selected a number of places that he was okay with, and then randomly selected among those.
