Chapter 6 presents statistical tests of the relationship between natural harbors and democracy. Tests of the early modern era utilize a limited dataset from the Ethnographic Atlas while later tests offer broader coverage using a variety of regime type indicators. A wide range of model specifications are utilized including varying measures of harbors and harbor distance, varying measures of democracy, and varying samples.

The chapter concludes by considering the waning of this effect over time.
