Costa Rica has linked offices, institutions, and elections in the graph, even where the formal government type is not fully specified.
Executive power is inferred here from current office timelines and the country's connected offices rather than a richer constitutional note.
No legislature name is recorded yet, so the institutional picture relies more heavily on connected offices and institutions.
1 institutions are linked to Costa Rica, which helps map the legislature, executive bodies, or other constitutional actors around the state.
50 parties are connected to Costa Rica, giving this system page a party-system layer rather than treating institutions in isolation.
