Description

The Banana Troop was a troop enlisted with the colonial Jungle Navigation Company in the early-half of the 20th century. The troop made themselves out similar to a military-organization, though also distinguished themselves by their sense of comedy. One of the troop's outposts was the Jungle Navigation Company's Amazon River Base in the Amazon rainforest.
