Honduras holds a 85–15 advantage over Belize on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (95% of the combined total, $580m) and economic size (GDP) (92% of the combined total, $37.1bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
