Costa Rica

Jump to: navigation, search

Costa Rica is located in Central America, between Nicaragua and Panama. The country has adopted several rather, depending on your view, "socialist" or "libertarian" policies (what's the difference eh?) including the abolition of its army in 1948. Costa Rica is a democratic republic, and in civil and political terms it is remarkably stable compared to most of its neighbours. Costa Rica has a sizable ex-pat community from the United States which has caused the crime rate, formerly so low it wasn't even worth mentioning, to rise to about the level of that in Panama, which coincidentally also has a sizable U.S. ex-pat community. This may or may not be a spurious correlation; however, don't bet your life on it. In fact, stay out of Costa Rica. The scuba diving there, at least on the Atlantic side, is too good to share with the likes of you.

Costa Rica is also known for its dangerous and unique lifeforms,[wp] dating back to the Jurassic Era.
