<center><b>Costa Rica</b></center>

<b>Within it's 51,200 square kilometers there is a wider variety of species of birds than in all of Europe or North America. With a realtively small population of roughly three million people, Costa Rica also boasts one of the oldest and more consolidated democracies in Latin America. In 1869 the primary education for both sexes was declared obligatory and free of cost, defrayed by the State. In 1882 the death sentence was abolished. In the year 1949 the armed forces were abolished and in 1983 a Perpetual Neutrality was proclaimed. Prestigious international human rights organizations have their headquarters in Costa Rica.. Beacause of this, of its lush 1500 kilometers of tropical sun-bathed beaches and the wild diversity of flora and fauna to be found in it's wide array of microclimates (most present in one or more of its National Parks), Costa Rica has justifiably earned it's reputation of paradise regained.</b>
