The country of origin was never named, and based on the names of the two main guest characters - Ott and Bletch Droshek - they could have been from one of those fictional countries from 'Mission: Impossible'. There were so many characters with the strangest names on that series:
Dr. Veped
Raf Tagoor
Vitol Enzor
Envir Qaisette
Polja
Karq
Tosk
Scutari
Kerkoska
Strabo
Lorkner
Zageb
OTT & BLETCH DROSHEK |
The Federated People's Republic
Logosia
Povia
Sardia
Svardia
The UCR
Also, from other TV shows:
Argonia ("The Adventures Of Superman")
Boldavia ("Night Court")
Boravia ("Danger Man")
Tavilia ("The Amazing Spiderman")
But - and I know I'm poking the bear in the cage with a stick - I'd like to think the country is Zemenia from an episode of 'Monk'. There are plenty of other connections to other TV series made with 'Mission: Impossible' and so it's nice to share the wealth and give one to 'Monk'.
ZEMENIAN-AMERICANS? |
Besides, Zemenia (theoretically) could be a member of the UCR, an aggregate of Communist nations.
BCnU!

Thank you for the information on the nationality of these people. I didn't know if it was nothing specific or a nationality the writers thought we obviously should know, since all the foreigner miners came from some specific country to New Mexico back in those days.
