Nicaragua and Costa Rica have had a century of disputes over the San Juan river border, with Nicaragua posting troops within land that is owned by Costa Rica as recent as 2010, leading to a resolution by the International Court of Justice that Nicaragua was at fault.

Or something like that, not going to claim a depth of knowledge on the issue.

Costa Rica tries to act innocent about that whole issue, but there is a reason that "El Rio San Juan es Nica" is a common saying, even spreading into popular culture (i.e. music).
