since ANB is totally fictional, it just says that they're from "a far away country" (I wondered the same thing haha)
from influencing, he comes from royalty so there's probably a palace where he's from? fanfic galore lol

so they probably don't have formal nationalities because of this haha

hope this helped :)

"Sanjay" is a Hindi name meaning "victorious" or "triumphant." So I always assumed Sanjay was of Indian descent, or the fictional Harvest Moon equivalent.

"Amir" has Arabic and Hebrew roots and means "prince." Since there's a huge amount of Arabic people in several countries, since it's a panethnic group, Amir's background is more vague than Sanjay's if we're going off of name meanings alone.

I always headcanon'd that Amir was the prince of a country not present in the real world but vaguely in the Middle East or East Asia area. :) But they keep it very vague in game. They keep most characters' ethnicities fairly vague (though I suppose we can assume most of them are Japanese since it's a Japanese game).
