HEAD TO HEAD
Italy vs Myanmar
Verdict
Italy holds a 79–21 advantage over Myanmar on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (91% of the combined total, $48.1bn) and economic size (GDP) (97% of the combined total, $2.4tn). Myanmar 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1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
