Just don't expect to be able to jump in just yet: last month there was a general strike in the area in protest against attempts to lease land to foreigners.

It made several attempts to buy or lease land for a sovereign territory.

Miners were able to lease land and to look for ore.

This aimed to enfranchise miners even if they did not own or lease land, as they were nevertheless ranked as important economically and socially.

Households, which now lease land from their collectives, are free to use their farmland however they see fit as long as they meet these quotas.
