Urika is the goddess of snow, saunas and theatrical perfomances for fewer than 120 people. She combines two (count them!) Roundworld references:
1) Eureka - the cry reputedly uttered by Archimedes on working out how mass displaces water; and
2) Ulrika Jonsson, a Swede (snow and saunas??) who made her name on British TV (first as a weathergirl, then as team captain on surreal comedy show Shooting Stars with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer). Also famous for having a very brief affair with then-England manager Sven Goran Eriksson and for being beaten up in a restaurant by another celeb boyfriend, Stan Collymore.
