Hypothesis

The relationship between precolonial centralization and access to public infrastructure services will be mitigated by the military president's region of origin, and punishment will be more severe in areas that are not favored. (134)

Note

Non-favored areas defined as an area that is not a military president's region of origin. Results given for no military president areas that had precolonial centralization, and had less access to federal infrastructure services than areas with precolonial centralization when not accounting for military president.
