Armenia fits 4 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Landlocked Country × Christian-Majority Country, Landlocked Country × Pop. Density 50–200/km², Population 1M–10M × Christian-Majority Country, Population 1M–10M × Pop. Density 50–200/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.
