what countries are a bananaland ?

Answer 1

Bananaland more commonly Banana republic.
It's a pejorative term for a small, often Latin American, Caribbean or African country that is politically unstable, dependent on limited agriculture, and ruled by a small, self-elected, wealthy and corrupt clique.The term was coined by O. Henry, an American humorist and short story writer, in reference to Honduras.

"Republic" in is often a euphemism for a dictatorship, while "banana" implied an easy reliance on basic agriculture and backwardness in the development of modern industrial technology.

In literature: Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut largely takes place in a fictional banana republic, the island of San Lorenzo. Gabriel García Márquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (particularly chapters 12 through 16) narrates the influences of a banana company's disproportionate influence on the local and national governments and the subsequent ruin it brings to the fictional town of Macondo, Colombia. The majority of the banana workers are eventually massacred, drawing comparisons to similar events in Colombia and other Latin American countries.

So, nothing with Europe:)
