RandomReal make it choices out of a countable set of entities. One would

In fact, of course, not even countable but finite. But this is all 
beside the point for the important thing is not what these things *are* 
but what Mathematica interpret them as.
Even finite state automata can simulate distributions defined on real 
intervals where "essentially everything" consists of non-comptable 
reals.
