both countries and nationalities or one thing only. Talking to one another they may use
such a construction:

Student A: “Where does this come from?”

Student B: “It comes from + country. It’s + nationality.”

using proper pronouns with people or things or any other construction you prefer.

Have a good luck drilling!
