probably Spain, because Central and South America (except Brazil) were conquered by Spain.

in Portugal, it's Nunes but I'm sure it can be used as Nunez too.

edit: Maybe you're related to Spanish people. Really light skin? or maybe Argentine....where do you live?

somewhere in south america.
i'm from peru n i know some nu?ez

This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name.
Nunez
Spanish (Nú?ez): patronymic from the personal name Nu?o (see Nuno).
Hope this helps.
