HEAD TO HEAD
Guinea vs Guinea-Bissau
Verdict
Guinea holds a 83–17 advantage over Guinea-Bissau on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (96% of the combined total, $601m) and economic size (GDP) (92% of the combined total, $25.0bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
