Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a remarkable country. Surrounded by Central American states plagued by constant civil unrest, Costa Rica appears as one of the most stable and peaceful democracies in Latin America. Of course, it retains its share of problems, but it is a remarkable country that has managed to survive without a military and while, in general, respecting its broad environmental diversity.

I definitely recommend people try to learn more about this country. I found Costarica.com to be a good resource.
