Hi there,
Your query looks correct, but there seems to be an issue with the Geocoding. For some very general locations the geocoding is very imprecise. Using a country name ("Costa Rica" in this case) is so general that the geocoding service has trouble figuring out the distances. If you do the same query with within:1000mi you'll see the data in question. We've seen this problem with large area locations from the beginning. I know this seems a little backward, but we've optimized for the most common case of cities and country names are a little problematic.
