And it's a completely idiotic question. I'd rather live in Saudi Arabia for 10 years than plenty of places in the Middle East or Latin America. That doesn't mean the government there isn't god awful.
Costa Rica, good luck as a woman! Or as a westerner, the likelihood of harm happening to you is great. I'm not talking about you visiting as a tourist, where you are just stuck in your resort or tourist area. I'm talking about living there. It's a major hub for the cartels to traffic drugs. It's also a place where many Latins gets stuck on their journey to freedom and then have to resort to crime due to poverty.
"Is Costa Rica safe for women travelers?
Women, particularly those traveling alone, must exercise a high degree of caution in Costa Rica as women visitors have been the victims of sexual assault and murder in recent years and the overall sexual assault rate has increased."
"Solo female travelers should strongly consider staying in places where they can meet other travelers, particularly if planning to go on hikes, stay out late or visit remote place"

You see, you and me have very different criteria when considering moving to a country. I wouldnt even want to set foot into Saudi Arabia given all the abuse that is happening there to women, people in gerneral and foreigners. (Thier slave market etc) but if you are ok with it, as many people are btw, as long as they live the good life, same goes for Dubai btw.
Not to mention other things that i don't agree with. I.e the genocide in jemen. If that all doesn't bother it's fine to live in S.A. is rather live in Cuba to tell you the truth.
Good luck in the other countries you listed, safety and crime doesn't seem to be the no1 concern of yours.
