Esperanto is a synthetic language created around the turn of the 20th century by a Russian Pole, alias Doktor Esperanto (one who hopes), to aid in international communication and peace.
Its spelling is invariable, its grammar is simple and its vocabulary is closely adapted from Indo-European 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 Wikipedia entry for more real world details. There is also an entire Esperanto-language Wikipedia.
