United Kingdom fits 6 cells here, but you can use it only once on a playable board. Compare these choices before placing it: Country Name is 9+ Letters × Has Hosted the Olympics, Country Name is 9+ Letters × Population over 50M, Pop. Density over 200/km² × Has Hosted the Olympics, Pop. Density over 200/km² × Population over 50M, GDP/capita over $40k × Has Hosted the Olympics, GDP/capita over $40k × Population over 50M.
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.
