HEAD TO HEAD
Colombia vs Thailand
Verdict
Colombia holds a 54–46 advantage over Thailand on the Relative Advantage Index.
The margin is driven by military spending (71% of the combined total, $14.5bn) and logistics & power projection (51% of the combined total, 66). Thailand leads on active personnel and economic size (GDP).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
