Interesting that Webster's says most land is allodial in the US. It must be referencing the status of land ownership in early US history, because that's certainly not the case now. If I remember correctly, there are only a couple states where allodial title on land is even possible and even so it is quite difficult to get it.

Cars are another thing, btw, that are almost never fully owned. Hence, the government's ability to require that you have vehicle stickers, etc.
