HEAD TO HEAD
Central African Republic vs Sudan
Verdict
Sudan holds a 89–11 advantage over Central African Republic on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (83% of the combined total, $369m) and economic size (GDP) (95% of the combined total, $49.7bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
