Notes:
- The loyalties towards the league or central government were based on cities/towns/villages listed in the Guardia source, meaning the more rural areas were approximated.
- While the capital was agreed to be in a town named Murciélago, the government had moved most of the administration to San José, hence why it is shown as the capital at the beginning.
- The Colombia/Costa Rica boundary in Panama is simplified as a disputed border due to them both having overlapping claims.
