But surely, halth care, good education and incredibly good IDH ranking are worth a few hundreds acre of wetland?

But think of all the castles they could've built there!

Do what I do in dorf forts, draft the entire population and have them charge the enemy with whatever they have on hand.

Now that's a good casus belli if there ever was one.

I hope they have the National Bank NI though, since they will probably have to mint for a few years to raise an army. Probably a good idea to turn down army maintenance till their ready to attack too.

Not unless there's a Russia waiting on the other side and the Nicaraguans are really crazy.

Panama is sort of like Russia. Kind of. I mean, it's not impossible that Panama could crush Nicaragua. I think.

Panama: General Winter, I choose you!

Panama: ... Well, fuck.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

This really isn't anything new.  Central America has been playing the "I steal your land without an ounce of stealth" thing for years, and I doubt Costa Rica will do more than whine to the USA.
