Uranium stocks

[Zuikaku]

I have noticed that evvery region have considerable stocks of Uranium at the game start.
Ireland, Nepal, Australia, Iraq, Siam -all have considerable quantities. I doubt that even major powers in 1936 had stockpiles of uranium and we are talking here about undeveloped regions ,some without scientific research at all.
So, are the uranium stocks set like that on purpose, or is this some minor error?
