HEAD TO HEAD
Austria vs Slovakia
Verdict
Austria holds a 66–34 advantage over Slovakia on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (67% of the combined total, $6.4bn) and economic size (GDP) (79% of the combined total, $535bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
