Esperanto is a synthetic language created by a Russian Pole, Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof alias Doktor Esperanto (one who hopes), in the 1870s to aid in international communication and peace.
Esperanto is the easyest language to learn, since it was made to be an international second language. It's spelling is invariable, it's grammar is simple and it's vocabulary is closely adapted from Indo-European roots (with several more germanic roots). E.g., "lakto" is the subject noun for "milk", "lakton" is the object noun, etc. This makes it a natural choice for the NationStates game.
See the full article for more real world details. There is also an entire Esperanto-language Wikipedia.
Esperanto in Tetris L-Shaped Block
Being that the language of the state was originaly russian, the way of writeing the latin alphabet is a little influenced. These differences have made the country's written Esperanto seem like more of a creole to outsiders. Aside from that, before the government made it manditory for everyone to speak esperanto, they inacted a few other changes to make it "simpler" and more "equal".
Example:
English: I am speaking Esperanto
Esperanto: Mi Estas Parolanta Esperanto
"Block" Esperanto: MI ESTДS PДЯФLДПTД ESPЄЯДПTФ
Aside from the alphabet, the Tetris L-Shaped Block government added a few changes to esperanto before makeing it manditory in all schools. some people outside of the country refer to this as "block Esperanto", but the Government of Tetris L-Shaped Block insists that it just be called Esperanto
Differences
-"Block Esperanto" unlike Esperanto, does not assume the masculine gender as the default for family relationship words, and thus does not, for example, derive the word for "sister" by adding a feminine suffix to the word for "brother", as standard Esperanto does.
-"Block Esperanto" imposes consistent rules on the use of endings to transform a word from one meaning or part of speech to another, thus simplifying the amount of vocabulary memorization that is necessary.
-Esperanto requires the use of the -n ending to signify the use of the accusative case. "Block Esperanto" allows the use of this feature in ambiguous situations where the object of a sentence does not follow the subject, but in all other situations the accusative case was eliminated as redundant.
-"Block Esperanto" dose not use capitals
-"Block Esperanto" dose not use the latin alphabet, the "Block Alphabet" is as follows: Д Ъ C D Є F G H I J K L M П Ф P Q Я S T Ц V Ш Ж Ч Z
