I've heard Costa Rica doesn't have a standing army. But two thirds of my knowledge of the country comes off Peace Walker, so don't take my words for it.

Major export is coffee. One of them. They have others. Coffee is the only one I know.

I've just read a long article about Costa Rica about a week ago - of how the country focuses on renewable energy and ecological preservation, but how these efforts are hindered by corruption, and low income of the residents, making illegal exploitation of nature more profitable on the short term than preservation. They had an interview with one of the people who try to work with the locals to preserve sea tortoise nesting grounds from poaching and tourists. (Another interesting tidbit that the article mentioned is that on one of the peninsulas the ratio of people living past 100 years of age is one of the highest in the world.)

Thank you so much for the chance!

Costa Rica? Never noticed it. Is it on the countries parodied in Tropico series?

Thanks

Erm... The original Jurassic Park was meant to be set on an island off Costa Rica, but I think it was actually filmed in Hawaii. And got some important details wrong, like putting San José on the coast. So I don't know how locals feel about that. (Although I'm from Ireland, and Hollywood thinks we still live in thatched-roof cottages and have sheep as pets while drinking Guinness for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so it's not too surprising).

Also, coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee.

thanks

Thanks for the chance!

I know that Costa Rica is a place that exists, and I think it translates to Rich Coast. I've also heard its tropicalish.

I'm from Argentina and have not heard any news about Costa Rica. Why, is something happening?
