HEAD TO HEAD
Bolivia vs Paraguay
Verdict
Bolivia holds a 61–39 advantage over Paraguay on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (62% of the combined total, $688m) and economic size (GDP) (55% of the combined total, $54.9bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
