Is "it's your land, do what you want with it" a thing anywhere at all? Afaik the land usually belongs to the government and even if sold it's not really sold sold, otherwise one could buy some land and declare independence which is kind of not possible

I mean... You can declare it...

Doesn't mean much unless you have the ability to back up that declaration.

But Sovcits won't let that stand in their way.

Ownership over something doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it legally. You wouldn't argue you don't "actually own" a knife because you're not allowed to stab people with it.

Well, I would say that this is a very controversial area of what exactly are you not allowed to do with things you really own. I consider everything that doesn't harm other people to be allowed, others may view it differently. In some places you're not allowed to stab yourself with a knife you own (or rent, or stole, for that matter), that just means that besides owning there are many things to comply to, but all of them contradict the "do what you want"
