The flag of
Costa Rica reflects the nation's values and history. The flag consists of five
horizontal stripes of three different colours. The central red line, which is
twice as wide as each of the other stripes on the flag represents the bloodshed
of those who fought for Costa Rica’s independence as well as the generosity of
its people. On either side of the red stripe are two white lines, these white
lines represent peace, happiness and wisdom. The outermost blue lines symbolise
the sky, ideals and perseverance. Additionally, the flag features a coat of
arms located slightly to the left inside of the red stripe. This emblem
features three volcanoes and a valley which illustrates the geography of Costa
Rica. This land is surrounded by two oceans representing the Caribbean and
Pacific Oceans the nation is surrounded by. In the water are two ships and in
the sky above are seven stars which are used to symbolise the provinces of
Costa Rica.
Costa Rica
is a nation located in Central America surrounded by Nicaragua and Panama to
the north and south respectively. The western coastline is dominated by the
Pacific Ocean and to the east the Caribbean Sea. Costa Rica is approximately
51,100km2 in size and home to around 5.18 million. The capital city
of Costa Rica is San José which is located in the center of the nation. Costa
Rica has the largest percentage of people with Spanish descent in the entirety
of Central America, and as a result the official language of Costa Rica is
Spanish. Costa Rica holds peace as an incredibly important value and is
dedicated to upholding their values, with Costa Rica not having a military
since 1949. Despite Costa Rica’s small size, it holds a significant amount of Earth’s
plant and animal species with over 500,000 species of flora and fauna living in
Costa Rica. This is likely due to the large area covered by national parks and
reserves, with a large 25% of the country being covered by these protected
