Firstly, as a number one reason Costa Rica, more than being an small country located in the tropical climate of Central America, is a pacifist, independent and democratic nation, Costa Rica is known because of its no army ideology, which since Dec. 1, 1948 all armed forces were abolished, instead of that it was promoted to reinforce an educational system, becoming an educated population for all equally. So as a very important fact, nowadays there is no army and no funding for any military force. However, of course it is not a place totally free of jeopardizing situations as all around the world, but as a general social duty our country refuses any armed movement promoting freedom and human rights first.
