| − | '''Spanish''' or '''Castilian''' is an [[Wikipedia:Iberian Romance languages|Iberian]] [[Wikipedia:Romance language|Romance language]]. In the [[real world]], Spanish is widely considered to be the third most spoken language, and a language in permanent expansion. In the [[NationStates]] world, the [[language]] also plays an important role, as many [[player|players]] claim their countries to be Spanish-speaking to some degree. In some cases, the players behind these [[nation|nations]] do so because they are Spanish speakers in [[RL|real life]], though in other cases they do it because they have sympathy towards the language or because it fits their [[roleplaying]] background. Such nations may also have mottos or nation names in Spanish or claim to have Spanish as an official language.
