Why Nevada Owns Less than 20% of Nevada - Summary

Summary

The United States of America, originally comprising of Hawaii and Alaska, was formed by the states. Over time, the federal government of America and the states fought over the land, which is now divided among the states. The land is divided into federal and state land, with federal land being under the control of the President and various departments.

The Department of Defense controls military bases and nuclear silos, the National Park Service manages national parks, the Fish and Wildlife Service conserves animal species, the Forest Service balances extraction with maintenance, and the Bureau of Land Management handles a variety of tasks from resolving cow disputes to leasing land for mining.

Federal land is not part of the state, but belongs to America. The states have to accept this, and there's a political divide between the states that have a lot of federal land and the states that don't.

Federal lands often have their own separate federal law enforcement officers, and there are Americans who live in National Parks. Federal land can be used for various purposes, from grazing cattle to declaring a national monument or mining for minerals.

The states can't build their own towns or parks or factories in federal land, and they can't collect any taxes from the land. The states that have a lot of federal land within their borders are Eastern states, while Western states are getting nuclear bombs detonated in their backyards.

In conclusion, while federal land may be in a state, it is not of the state. It is a part of the nation as a whole.
