Additional Information
Maps produced by the Central Intelligence Agency are among the most unique and distinctive depictions of locations globally. Due to their minimal aesthetic and geopolitical relevance, they are considered valuable pieces of information that display a particular region’s international boundaries and how they are officially recognized by members of the United States Government, military, and other organizations. Though they are produced for official use, they are frequently used for reference by those in academia, media, and business. Because the CIA creates maps based on current conditions, they are the most up-to-date resource regarding boundary changes.
The 1980s were a period of significant transition for Costa Rica as its economy shifted from one that was primarily agricultural to one that relied on tourism and technology, with operations like Microsoft and Motorola establishing operations in the nation. However, coffee and bananas remain an important agricultural export for Costa Rica. The country had established trade routes with Europe as early as 1843.
Costa Rica became a republic in 1948 following a revolt led by Jose Figueres Ferrer, which led to a constitution that guaranteed universal suffrage and dissolved the military. Costa Rica is one of the few democracies to operate with no standing army. Generally speaking, Costa Rica has experienced greater peace and political stability than its counterparts in Central America. Due to numerous free trade agreements, Costa Rica’s economy has grown exponentially over the decades since this map’s publication. This authentic piece of cartographical history immediately transports the viewer back in time.
