UAE fits 9 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Muslim-Majority Country × Population 1M–10M, Muslim-Majority Country × Former British Colony, Muslim-Majority Country × In Asia, GDP/capita over $40k × Population 1M–10M, GDP/capita over $40k × Former British Colony, GDP/capita over $40k × In Asia, Capital City Pop. over 1M × Population 1M–10M, Capital City Pop. over 1M × Former British Colony, Capital City Pop. over 1M × In Asia.
