Hypothesis
Higher land quality will predict more power for pre-colonial non-African political leaders, but will not predict any relationship in sub-Saharan Africa.
Note
All three African models have p values greater than 0.1, but one of the three non-African models has a p value lower than 0.05 (but the two additional models, with different controls, do not support this relationship).
