Nicaragua vs. Costa Rica

There's a big debate right now about who owns what here in Central America. The root of the issue is the Google Maps incorrectly drew the northern boundary of Costa Rica, so Nicaragua moved its army into the area to claim the land. Costa Rica hasn't had an army for more than 50 years and is quite prideful about their pacifist stance. But now that Nicaraguan troops occupy Costa Rican land, the political debate continues.
