That isn't the weird part of the UWP to me though. The weird part is why you have only 200 people living with such low technology on an otherwise ideal garden world. A planet like that should be a prime target for colonisation, and 200 people can be shunted aside pretty easily if they want to complain about it.
As for how to handle weird UWPs, I just change them to something that makes more sense. Problem solved! :)
