A factor in this poverty was the lack of indigenous people used as forced labor. Although many Spaniards in the other colonies had tribal members working on their land, most of the Costa Rican settlers had to work on their own land themselves. For all these reasons Costa Rica was by and large unappreciated and overlooked by the Crown and left to develop on its own. It is believed that the circumstances during this period led to the formation of many of the idiosyncrasies for which Costa Rica has become known, whereas concomitantly setting the stage for Costa Rica's development as a more egalitarian society than the rest of its neighbors.
