HEAD TO HEAD
Canada vs Egypt
Verdict
Canada holds a 74–26 advantage over Egypt on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (94% of the combined total, $37.5bn) and economic size (GDP) (85% of the combined total, $2.2tn). Egypt leads on active personnel.
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
