Costa Rica is not a socialist country, the only (Marxist) socialist countries today are China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea and Vietnam; there are non-scientific socialist countries that define themselves as socialist such as Venezuela or Syria, or others such as Perú (where the current party in power is a Marxist Leninist one, but under a bourgeois democratic system, plus the president doesn’t agree with the rest of the party) or Nicaragua (who had a ML government who became social democrat but still holds some “socialist” policies), but Costa Rica is neither of these, they have a liberal party in power.
I heard Costa Rica and Cuba are rather green.
In Cuba it is mostly because of trade embargoes. So they had not had the option to exploit the planet as much.
In Costa Rica I think it is really their left government.
