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.
