HEAD TO HEAD
Myanmar vs Ukraine
Verdict
Ukraine holds a 78–22 advantage over Myanmar on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (94% of the combined total, $84.1bn) and economic size (GDP) (72% of the combined total, $191bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
