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.

(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.

Mazer Rackham is a half maori New Zealander

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.

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.
