Land cannot be owned! There is property tax.
Land means 'land use rights', not the actual soil. Rights are provided by other people. The community agrees that they won't squat on the owner's plot of land. The community is not paid for providing these rights nowadays though. You could expect an uprising of unhappy people soon.
Countries aren't selling off the land. Private property owners are.
He doesn't own the land. Nobody in the US owns land. They are given exclusive access to land, with restrictions, but ownership is a myth.
This sounds a lot like land ownership.
The land isn't owned collectively. It's owned by individuals. It seems strange to pass laws that say those individuals aren't allowed to sell to people that are willing to pay more money.
How so? Then I can buy any kind of land and claim it as my own :)
Land should be from the country not owned by a private entity. This fixes a lot of issues.
You don't have to be sovereign to own land. I own land.
Some land does, in fact, have private owners.
