Mauritania fits 6 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Pop. Density under 20/km² × Population 1M–10M, Pop. Density under 20/km² × Flag with a Star/Sun, Pop. Density under 20/km² × Name Starts with M, GDP/capita under $2k × Population 1M–10M, GDP/capita under $2k × Flag with a Star/Sun, GDP/capita under $2k × Name Starts with M.
The lowest score from each cell is added above. These independent choices can repeat a country, so the total may be impossible under the no-repeat rule. For a nine-cell board, 45 points is the theoretical lower bound. See the scoring explanation.
