The word democracy originates from the Greek "demos" meaning "the people" and "kratein" meaning "to rule" or "the people to rule" which meant literally: "Rule by the People." The term is also sometimes used as a measurement of how much influence a people has over their government, as in how much democracy exists. Aristotle called democracy one the three evil forms of government (the other two: ochlocracy and tyranny). Anarchism employs a form of direct democracy, but has no state.

    International Religious Freedom Report 2002
    Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
    The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice. The Constitution establishes Roman Catholicism as the state religion. However, persons of all denominations freely practice their religion without government interference. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and government policy continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion. The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights. Section I. Religious Demography The country has a total area of 19,652 square miles, and its population is approximately 3.82 million. The country’s tradition of tolerance and professed pacifism has attracted many religious groups. The Jewish population constitutes less than 1 percent of the country’s total; many of its members found refuge before and during the Second World War. The mountain community of Monteverde, a popular tourist destination, was founded during the Korean War by a group of Quakers from the United States, acting on their convictions as conscientious objectors. The country welcomed this community, as well as those of Mennonites, Beechy Amish, and other pacifist religious groups.

    Costa Rica Introduction
    Costa Rica is a small, mountainous country in Central America. It is bordered by Nicaragua on the north, the Caribbean Sea and Panama on the east, and the Pacific Ocean on the south and west. A chain of rugged mountains stretches across central Costa Rica from northwest to southeast. A few of the highest peaks in this chain are active volcanoes. Tropical forests grow on the country's coastal lowlands. Costa Rica declared its independence from Spain in 1821. After a turbulent beginning it inaugurated an era of peaceful democracy in 1889, subsequently interrupted only twice, by a dictatorial interlude in 1917-19 and an armed uprising in 1948.

    Starting a Business in Costa Rica
    by Ed Underwood , President
    Central American Consulting Services, Inc.

    F or outsiders, doing business in a foreign country can be dauntingCosta Rica is no exception. Like many small countries, the business environment in Costa Rica is controlled by a few entrenched interests. However, the opening of the global marketplace has put pressure on those entrenched interests to yield to outside investment and investors. Costa Rica, a peaceful democracy for decades, has a history of actually inviting foreign investment. An example of this is that it is relatively simple to begin a business in Costa Rica. What one does after a business is begun is an entirely different matter. Costa Rica is an enchanting place to live. Of course, there are some internal problems, but there are problems everywhere. Costa Rica is centrally located between two of the largest consumer markets in the world and, with all the neat, new technology, business can be done from here as easily as from Peoria, Illinois or Patagonia, Argentina! Costa Rica's government is as stable as one could want (in Central America) and the Costa Rican people are simply "a cut above." The Costa Rican corporate legal system is like the country itself"user friendly." Incorporating here is painless and suggested as the first step to doing any other kind of business. With a smattering of business sense, a rudimentary grasp of Spanish, a bit of ready cash, and the desire to become a global power (!), anyone can be a recognized business entity.

    GOVERNMENT
    Costa Rica is a democratic republic with a strong system of constitutional checks and balances. Executive responsibilities are vested in a president, who is the country's center of power. There also are two vice presidents and a 15-member cabinet. The president and 57 Legislative Assembly deputies are elected for 4-year terms. A constitutional amendment approved in 1969 limits presidents and deputies to one term, although a deputy may run again for an Assembly seat after sitting out a term.
    The electoral process is supervised by an independent Supreme Electoral Tribunala commission of three principal magistrates and six alternates selected by the Supreme Court of Justice. Judicial power is exercised by the Supreme Court of Justice, composed of 22 magistrates selected for renewable 8-year terms by the Legislative Assembly, and subsidiary courts. A Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court, established in 1989, reviews the constitutionality of legislation and executive decrees and all habeas corpus warrants.
    The offices of the Comptroller General of the Republic, the Solicitor General, and the Ombudsman exercise oversight of the government. The Comptroller General's office has a statutory responsibility to scrutinize all but the smallest public sector contracts and strictly enforces procedural requirements.

    Ortega complained of persecution by Venezuelan authorities Costa Rica's government says it has cancelled the asylum given to a leading Venezuelan opposition figure, after he gave a controversial speech in the US.
    Union leader Carlos Ortega requested asylum last year, saying he faced persecution in Venezuela. Last week he reportedly told a meeting in Miami, Florida, that he would return to Venezuela to work clandestinely to remove the government of Hugo Chavez. Costa Rica said this speech violated the terms of Mr Ortega's asylum. "In the judgement of the Costa Rican government, the statements made by this asylum holder are decidedly contradictory to the spirit of political asylum, and to his responsibilities as a recipient of asylum," the foreign ministry said in a press statement. Chavez: Briefly ousted in a 2002 coup The ministry said Mr Ortega had twice been warned to exercise his freedom of expression "in a responsible manner" to avoid damaging Costa Rica's foreign relations.
