HEAD TO HEAD
Croatia vs Montenegro
Verdict
Croatia holds a 89–11 advantage over Montenegro on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (92% of the combined total, $2.1bn) and economic size (GDP) (92% of the combined total, $93.0bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
