Costa Rica (i/ˌkoʊstə ˈriːkə/; Spanish: [ˈkosta ˈrika]; literally meaning, "Rich Coast"), officially the Republic of Costa Rica (Spanish: República de Costa Rica), is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Ecuador to the south of Cocos Island. It has a population of around 4.5 million, of whom nearly a quarter live in the metropolitan area of the capital and largest city, San José.
Costa Rica was sparsely inhabited by indigenous people before coming under Spanish rule in the 16th century. It remained a peripheral colony of the empire until independence as part of the short-lived First Mexican Empire, followed by membership in the United Provinces of Central America, from which it formally declared sovereignty in 1847. Since then, Costa Rica has remained among the most stable, prosperous, and progressive nations in Latin America. Following a brief but bloody civil war, it permanently abolished its army in 1949, becoming the first of only a few sovereign nations without a standing army.
The statistics for Islam in Costa Rica is around 50 families, or 0.001% of the population. There are very few Islamic organizations in San José including the Islamic Association of Costa Rica led by Secretary General Dr. Abdul Fatah Sasa, and the Centro Cultural Musulmán de Costa Rica in Alajuela led by Jenny Rashida Torres. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community only established in the country as recent as 2013.
Eyes in the back of your head
Ear to the ground
Love in the back of your mind
We're on a hill, stay very still
I would love a better drug
You lucky jerk
I'm so unsettled I'm superstitious
You're so rattled you're suspicious
You lucky jerk
You left your lion on a beach in Costa Rica
It wasn't tame
I caught us kissing on a plane in California
It wasn't tame, but just the same
I would love a better drug
