List of territorial entities where English is an official language
The following is a list of territories where English is an official language. As of 2019, there are 55 sovereign states and 27 non-sovereign states where English was an official language.
Most countries where English is a prominent or official language are former colonies of the British Empire. Notable exceptions include Rwanda, which was a former Belgian colony, and Eritrea, which was an Italian colony where the British Empire controlled it only in World War II and shortly after (19411952).
English is the sole official language of the Commonwealth of Nations and the Commonwealth Games. English is one of the official languages of the United Nations, the European Union and the International Olympic Committee. Although English is not classified as an official language in the United States many states and regions within the U.S. do have English as an official language.
India's linguistic picture is complex. According to the Constitution of India, "Hindi in the Devanagari script" is the official language of the union; and English the 'subsidiary official language'; however, English is mandated (must be used) for the authoritative texts of all federal laws and Supreme Court decisions and (with Hindi) is one of the two languages of the Indian Parliament. English is taught in schools, and the quality and effectiveness of the teaching is extremely varied. English is used almost exclusively for higher education.
The linguistic makeup of Pakistan is also complex. While the national language is Urdu, English is an official language and used in business, government and law.
In these country subdivisions, English has "de jure" official status, but English is not official in their relevant countries at the national level.

Cocos plate
The Cocos plate is a geologically young oceanic tectonic plate. It is beneath the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of Central America. Cocos Island rides on it.
The Cocos plate was created about 23 million years ago when a larger plate broke into two pieces. The other piece became the Nazca plate. The Cocos plate also broke into two pieces, creating the small Rivera plate.
The Cocos plate touches several different plates. To the northeast it touches the North American plate and the Caribbean plate. To the west it touches the Pacific plate and to the south the Nazca plate.
This complicated set of little plates is caused by what geologists call the "Cocos-Nazca spreading system". The leading edge is subducting (going under existing plates). This causes the Central American Volcanic Arc.
The Cocos Plate is near the Galapagos hotspot, which caused the Galapagos Islands.
