Costa Rica is also known as basically the only democratically stable country in its immediate area. They are perhaps sometimes lumped in with their neighbors when people consider them as a country when in actuality they operate pretty much on the level of European countries in terms of stability of democracy (Costa Rica is still behind Europe in some other metrics beyond their political system but as a political entity they are quite stable and well run, at least compared to their neighbors)

+1. Costa Rica is a common immigration destination within the region because of its stability.
Panama is pretty stable as well and it’s next door.
