Peru holds a 77–23 advantage over Bolivia on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (79% of the combined total, $2.6bn) and economic size (GDP) (84% of the combined total, $289bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
