This reminded me of an old joke -

Maine Winters
Some engineers from the U.S.G.S. surveyed some property and found that in a area, the New Hampshire and Maine border must be changed. They stopped to inform a farmer that he was no longer in Maine, but in New Hampshire.

After a long pause, he grunted and said, "That's good. I couldn't take another one of those Maine winters."

A Google spokesman said that while it strives to make its maps accurate, "by no means should they be used as a reference to decide military actions between two countries".

I wonder if they'll include that in the Google Maps legal section from now on?

Your just stating facts, Alex. 

It's true that Costa Rica doesn't have an "official" military, and that they have a relatively healthy economy.


This is an interesting series of events. Google provoked a war....how about that.
