flag?

the articles for Germany, Austria, and Peru all use pictures of the civil variant of the national flag, not the state. given this precedent, I think this article should do the same (i.e., use the one with no CoA).

Is necessary to update all the info

Why you guys just don't take all the data from the page in spanish that has like 4 times more info and everything is up to date instead of using this old one Here is the link https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Rica

Change GDP per capita ppp from 18k to 24.49k as shown by https://www.imf.org/en/Countries/CRI#countrydata 186.15.117.173 (talk) 03:14, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. You should use a static source like the [7] currently in the article. Aaron Liu (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The current static source is blank right now so it's even worse, perhaps this static link would help for gdp ppp per capita? https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/PPPPC@WEO/CRI and this would show the gdp ppp: https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/PPPGDP@WEO/CRI 186.15.117.29 (talk) 07:47, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
