A landlocked saharan African county with a low population, but enough infrastructure to support a mining industry. Majority of the population are tribal or poor farmers living on less than a dollar a day and not part of the economy. Probably has a decent Berber population, thought that comes with the region.

Mauritania, Mali, and Niger (pronounced differently in French) all come to mind. I originally thought it might be sub-saharan, but such a country would have more diverse exports like tropical crops.

Australia has a beef industry (it's a country I think of when uranium exports is mentioned) and is way too developed to just have an export economy.

If I'm wrong it's probably some -stan former USSR country but I doubt it.

Of the countries mentioned, Niger has the most uranium. So that's what my guess is - I change my answer from Central Asia as those countries are at least somewhat industrialised.

First guess was Mongolia, though that would probably have a more diverse economy than that... A -stan country? Some people's arguments for Niger or similar countries make a lot of sense, too.

Yeah, Mongolia exports a lot of copper, coal, etc.

Ugh, which islands have gold deposits? Anyway, it I think this place sounds too diversified and therefore too large for the Caymans. Possibly Jamaica, although I would have thought they would export alcoholic beverages.

Yeah, my first instinct was Honduras which I do know has a large textile industry; but I'm having second thoughts. How can you have an economy so undiversified from textiles? Doesn't seem sustainable.

Dominica? I guess it could be a Carribean Island, rather than Central America. Obviously not Jamaica or Cuba, but a less diversified country.
