HEAD TO HEAD
Philippines vs Poland
Verdict
Poland holds a 60–40 advantage over Philippines on the Relative Advantage Index, a clear margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (88% of the combined total, $46.8bn) and economic size (GDP) (67% of the combined total, $918bn). Philippines leads on logistics & power projection and 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1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
