HEAD TO HEAD
Poland vs Spain
Verdict
Spain holds a 58–42 advantage over Poland on the Relative Advantage Index.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (65% of the combined total, $1.7tn) and logistics & power projection (74% of the combined total, 107). Poland 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1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
