    Banana republic

    In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically and economically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the export of natural resources.

    I think a lot of folks using this term to describe the US don’t actually know what it means so leaving the wiki to hopefully help. The US is a lot of things, but it isn’t a banana republic.
