HEAD TO HEAD
Cameroon vs Sao Tome and Principe
Verdict
Cameroon holds a 90–10 advantage over Sao Tome and Principe on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (98% of the combined total, $53.3bn) and active personnel (96% of the combined total, 25.0k).
2 factors — military spending, nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
