Interesting idea…who pays for defending the state? Is the citizenry armed? Or is it a police state?

Its an interesting question. Why would anyone invade though?
Invasion for profit is a common human endeavor. Usually accompanied by mass murder.
Agreed but my point is usually requires a desired resource base for that profit. Costa Rica doesn’t have much
Oh, I see. Non-invasion due to lack of interest. Makes sense.
Sorry, poorly worded but that’s the case here. There’s literally nothing that would pay back and warrant cost. Natural resources are beaches and biodiversity. Not exactly the usual fare to warrants billions of dollars of warfare. No metals, energy etc
