Costa Rica

About the flag

The flag displayed is that of Costa Rica, characterized by its striking blue, white, and red horizontal stripes. The red stripe in the center is wider than the blue and white ones, symbolizing the blood shed for freedom and the peace that the nation values. Costa Rica is known for its commitment to democracy and has no standing army since 1949, a rare stance that emphasizes its dedication to peaceful conflict resolution. To help remember this, associate the vibrant red with Costa Rica's lush landscapes and robust culture. The blue symbolizes the sky and opportunities, while the white signifies peace. Exploring Costa Rica's rich biodiversity and eco-tourism can further embed this flag in your memory, making it easier to recognize not just the flag but also the spirit of the nation it represents.
