Libya vs Tunisia
Verdict
Tunisia holds a 57–43 advantage over Libya on the Relative Advantage Index.
The margin is driven by active personnel (84% of the combined total, 36.0k) and economic size (GDP) (51% of the combined total, $51.3bn). Libya leads on military spending.
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
