  • Fez hates France.
  • In one of the final scenes of the episode Immigrant Song, Fez announces he is being deported after graduation and complains that now he has to "relearn his native language". Moments later he characteristically says "good day" while leaving and moments later interjects with what is, presumably "I said [good day]" - but in a foreign language, so far unidentified.
  • "Loof" is a kind of insult in his language.
  • Fez is from the East side.

Virgin Islands[]

Fez' homeland

Fez has told us throughout the series that his home country is an island, they have fought against the British, and his best friend Andrew is from the west side of the island and speaks with a British accent. Besides that, the island has a British and Dutch name.

The Dutch Virgin Islands has passed hands through the Dutch, the British, the Spanish, the Deens and even the French. In the 1919s these islands became British. These islands are British Overseas Territory, but the people pay with United States Dollars. There's one island called Jost Van Dyke, named after the Dutch pirate.

The islands are located in the Caribbean sea/ Atlantic ocean. Therefore, it would not be odd for Fez to go to Wisconsin.


Other viewers believe that his homeland could not be the Dutch Virgin Islands, which were acquired by the United States in 1917 and became the American Virgin Islands.

Fez would have already been an American citizen.

Papua New Guinea[]

Fez has told us throughout the series that his home country is an island, they have fought against the British, and his best friend Andrew is from the west side of the island and speaks with a British accent.

Papua New Guinea is the east side of the island of New Guinea, the west half has passed hands through the Dutch, the British, and the Australians, and is currently governed by His Majesty Charles III, King of New Guinea.

Ergo, it would make sense to hypothesize that Fez really is Indonesian.

Another theory is that the writers created an unnamed fictional country so they could have a running gag trough the series.

Another caveat is that if he is from New Guinea, then the question remains as to why he speaks Spanish.
