HEAD TO HEAD
Brazil vs Suriname
Verdict
Brazil holds a 99–1 advantage over Suriname on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (100% of the combined total, $2.2tn) and active personnel (99% of the combined total, 367.0k).
2 factors — military spending, nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
