Greece holds a 78–22 advantage over Bulgaria on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (76% of the combined total, $8.4bn) and economic size (GDP) (69% of the combined total, $256bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
