My reason for not including Costa Rica in my list is some negative experience by a close friend who moved there. The info that I have seen also tells me that Costa Rica is higher priced and lower infrastructure compared to Panama. CR no longer is encouraging expats to move there as they once were either. Panama does encourage US expats to invest and move to Panama. Panama's government has been very stable except when the US sets up its puppets, and that could happen almost anywhere. At least two past libertarian leaders are now living in Panama and love it. Is there corruption in Panama? Isn't there corruption everywhere? On the topic of "banana republic corruption", I have heard it said that the corruption in Panama is "equal opportunity corruption"... unlike the US version where you only have political access if you have a potful of money to spare and went to an Ivy League type college. Just about every place has advantages and disadvantages, and every individual places his own priorities on those. CR may be high on your list for reasons that are priorities to you.
