Did you mean "no native English speakers"? There are - Ireland.
"First" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I'm sure you well know there are 2 official languages in Ireland, and English is used by the majority of the population, and English-only speakers far outnumber the fluent bilingual speakers.
Of course on paper Ireland are going to hold Irish as supreme (which I support), but de facto and practically, the language of Ireland is English.
Ireland and Malta still remain EU members whose official languages include English.
More over, the lingua franca of Europe is still English, despite any French sadness that it's not French any more.
