Etymology

The citizens of Bananenboot are called Bootchens, which means “little boats” in German. The reason being, is that people are little in this country. So that’s how “little“ plays out. Boats, is quite obvious. Bananenboot means banana boat so, you know, little boats.

Military

Bananeboot and Otanga are military rivals. The cause is, Otanga stoke Bananenboot’s soup. They were shipping soup to Canada on a boat, and Otanga’s military stole their soup. Bananenboot has a significantly stronger military.

They have invested heavily in anti aircraft machinery, artillery so that they can shoot the enemy from very far away, tanks, and infantry. Their navy is strong enough to defend their territorial waters. They have bunkers in case they get nuked. Their goal is not to destroy the enemy, just to defend their country.

There is a draft for people from ages 18-24.

Trade Partners

One of my trade partners is ένας Νικόλαος. Bananenboot trades their bananas and gold for their uranium and fishing rods. They trade other things of course, but those things are the main.
