'''Banana Republicanism''' is an ideology where a whole country's economy depends on upon the exportation of a limited-resource product, such as bananas or minerals. The country is lead by a de facto ruling class who hold control over the main export by exploitation of labor of the nation then there is an impoverished middle class who collect the product. Thus, the term ''banana republic'' is a pejorative descriptor for a servile [[File:Oligarchy.png]] [[Oligarchy]] that abets and supports, for kickbacks, the exploitation of large-scale plantation agriculture, especially banana cultivation.
