Where this word comes from

From English Wakanda, a fictional country in Marvel Comics. It is unclear why the term is used by Indonesians as a derogatory term to refer their own country; most likely the term serves as algospeak to avoid censorship and a sarcastic remark that any appalling situation would only exist in a fictional country.
