Fewest choices: Name Starts with B × GDP/capita under $2k has 3 valid answers in this puzzle. Its answer list includes Burkina Faso as a match for both clues. Jump to its answers.
Ireland fits 4 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Island Nation × Capital City Pop. over 1M, Island Nation × Area under 100k km², Former British Colony × Capital City Pop. over 1M, Former British Colony × Area under 100k km².
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.
