Colombia fits 4 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Country Name Ends with 'a' × In the Americas, Country Name Ends with 'a' × Flag has Red AND Blue, Population over 10M × In the Americas, Population over 10M × Flag has Red AND Blue.
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.
