This article deals with English as it relates to NationStates. For more general information, see the Wikipedia article on this subject.
English is one of the principal languages of NationStates, it is used by different nations in different ways. In Gameplay it is usually the medium of communication except in regions based around certain RL nations. In Roleplay, a great deal of nations have English as their primary language. Rather then attributing historical developments in roleplay (e.g. to origins in the region of England), this is simply because a majority of the NS players are from English-speaking countries such as the United States, Great Britain, Canada and Australia. (With Dutch players having the largest non-English presence.)
Virtually all Roleplay is in English and the language for interaction between characters of different nation is often also English, at least OOC. Sometimes, English is used OOCly while assuming that the characters are speaking an IC language that is either fictional or incomprehensible to other players. (An example of a fictional language is "Celdonian" in Celdonia, which is functionally similar to English.) Using another language is sometimes indicated by using a different colour for the spoken text when players do not want to assume away the language barrier but still want other players to understand what their characters are saying.
