In SotG didn't it say someone was living in Australia? Just wondering, maybe I'll go check...

Never really thought about this before but I wonder if there was some kind of signifance of each Jeesh member being from a different country. Was that ever mentioned in the series? I’m not remembering…….

I think Shen is Japanese.
Fly Molo is from Philippines. I think there was a mention of Dumper as a monk in the Andes in SOTG.

Whatever happened to Fly Molo? Did he just cease to exist?

(SotG Spoiler)

Chapter 24, SotG, Fly Molo writes to Graff about getting into the colony program because the Philippines wanted him to conquer Taiwan.

Alia happens to be African (i think). He metions to himself in SOTG that the only reason he his the Calif is cause he was in Ender's Jeesh and happens to believe in Islam.

One thing I forgot to mention that isn't mentioned anywhere but one tiny passage:
Mazer Rackham is a half maori New Zealander
 
Posted by CRash (Member # 7754) on :
 
I think Rackham's origins have been mentioned several times, actually. But mostly in the Shadow series, I think. Didn't seem to be too much mention of his nationality in EG.

Fly Molo: Philippines
Carn Carby: Austrialian
Crazy Tom: English
Han Tzu: China
Dink Meeker: Dutch

If I recall correctly it was Ender's father that was Polish, but the Wiggin children were American. In Ender's Game it is specifically mentioned that Ender is American.

Ancestorally speaking Ender's Father is polish but the children were all born in America
