Costa Rica is a Central American country bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west, with its capital in San José. It is a stable presidential representative democratic republic that abolished its army in 1948, directing resources toward education, health, and environmental protection. Renowned for its exceptional biodiversity—hosting about 5-6% of the world's species despite its small size—the nation has protected over 25% of its land in national parks and reserves. Ecotourism drives its economy, attracting visitors to its rainforests, volcanoes, beaches, and wildlife, while supporting high human development and sustainability efforts.
