The Republic of Costa Rica was once known as Central America's most stable democracy. Costa Rica boasted the subcontinent's highest standard of living, and its complete demilitarization was a model for the world. The events of Doomsday shattered the country's export-driven economy, and the new pressures on the country led to a long civil war, the aftershocks of which are still being felt. Costa Rica is again a democracy, still a rarity in Central America. Though its people are much poorer than they once were, they remain committed to their nation. And although the great powers that now compete for influence in Central America are different than during the Cold War, Costa Rica tries to maintain its traditional role as a neutral player in the region.
