HEAD TO HEAD
Bahamas vs United States
Verdict
United States holds a 99–1 advantage over Bahamas on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (100% of the combined total, $28.8tn) and active personnel (100% of the combined total, 1.4m).
2 factors — military spending, nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
