Demacia is his adopted home country, so I'm guessing Xin is most likely from Ionia?(makes sense) unless he's not.

I think he is the same country as Yi because they both have Eastern Asian-type name.

His name while still being a gladiator is Viscero. I saw the Viscero skin myself and, imo, conjecture that he might be from South of the Great Barrier, either from Stanpar or Mogron Pass, Pantheon's and Gragas' homelands respectively.

First off Xin Zhao is based off of one of the 5 Tiger Generals and hero of the kingdom of Shu, Zhao Yun. The term Xin meaning new, hence New Zhao. So given his Asian nature it is likely to assume that he is from Ionia since they have the most Asian theme's out of any of the other city states. The most likely scenario being that he was captured and forced to compete in Noxus' Fleshing.
