HEAD TO HEAD
Finland vs Lithuania
Verdict
Finland holds a 72–28 advantage over Lithuania on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (73% of the combined total, $8.1bn) and economic size (GDP) (78% of the combined total, $299bn). Lithuania 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1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
