HEAD TO HEAD
Italy vs Poland
Verdict
Italy holds a 64–36 advantage over Poland on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (72% of the combined total, $2.4tn) and military spending (51% of the combined total, $48.1bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
