Banana republics aren't just that, they're usually run by a despot being funded by a more powerful nation, like the US, who wants cheap goods

I read it refers to a country who is dependent on the export of natural resources not just one product. Also as a reference to Dole Fruit I south Amer

A banana republic when I went to school meant a badly run country usually by a dictator

I thought a banana republic was more that whatever company owns that crop controls the country, and it’s usually a foreign interest

I’m not sure your definition is correct either! Correct me if I’m wrong, but banana republic is more related the politics than export of fruits.
