How to hold it

One choke point guards the whole continent. Hold that gate and the bonus is nearly impossible to take from you — the textbook turtle opening while the rest of the map bleeds.

Key choke point: Eastern Australia has the fewest ways in — just 1 (Argentina). Stack it first; it's the cheapest tile to turn into a wall.
