Azerbaijan vs Georgia

Verdict

Azerbaijan holds a 74–26 advantage over Georgia on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.

The margin is driven by military spending (88% of the combined total, $4.9bn) and economic size (GDP) (68% of the combined total, $74.3bn).

1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
