Germany holds a 93–7 advantage over Hungary on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (96% of the combined total, $114bn) and economic size (GDP) (95% of the combined total, $4.7tn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
