It hasn't been a valid notion for millennia. Even in the days of the early settlements on the American continent all the land was claimed by one sovereign or another. Even the territories that had not been explored or discovered. And of course even if the sovereign sold or granted you the land, unless it was to another country you and it were still subject to the sovereign. And if it was another country you were now the subject of another sovereign. Back in those days many of the sovereigns owned the land and the people. It is great to be the sovereign and it sucks to be everyone else.
