Quote:I love it. "Northern Europe, Northern Europe, Northern Europe, Northern Europe, and Costa Rica." /sings "One of these things is not like the others..."And, three of them are marginally populated Scandinavia. It appears that one thing Costa Rica has going for it is that they have abolished a standing military in 1949. The Federal police also is responsible for defending the borders. What is not mentioned very much is the cozy relationship that Costa Rica has with the US at times for clandestine action. No news is good news. :)
