Comment:

 This is a duplicate of #3678, please read the comments there as to why
 this is a difficult problem to solve.

 To answer your questions:
 * The top 3 countries make up 60% of the Tor consensus weight. Therefore,
 you are likely to choose a country more than once.
   * Source:
 https://compass.torproject.org/#?exit_filter=all_relays&links&sort=cw&sort_reverse&country=&by_country
 * Tor uses a cryptographically secure PRNG for path selection, based on
 OpenSSL seeded with entropy from the operating system and other sources.
