HEAD TO HEAD
Denmark vs Poland
Verdict
Poland holds a 70–30 advantage over Denmark on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (76% of the combined total, $46.8bn) and economic size (GDP) (68% of the combined total, $918bn). Denmark leads on logistics & power projection.
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
