Indonesia holds a 100–0 advantage over Palau on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by economic size (GDP) (100% of the combined total, $1.4tn) and active personnel (100% of the combined total, 396.0k).
2 factors — military spending, nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side.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.
