HEAD TO HEAD
Bolivia vs Chile
Verdict
Chile holds a 81–19 advantage over Bolivia on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (89% of the combined total, $5.3bn) and economic size (GDP) (86% of the combined total, $330bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
