The office holders, bureaucrats etc. are in the government on a temporary basis, but the government continues, they are officers of the government, not "the government", they don't own the land any more than the CEO of a major corporation personally owns the assets of the corporation (even less, because the CEO is likely to have quite a few shares in the company and thus own a chunk of it) The government does quite definitely own the national forests, as well as a lot of other land, such as 84.5% of Nevada. strangemaps.wordpress.com That's legal ownership. You might have some political philosophy that would apply a different idea, or a different term for the same idea, but the law is clear, the federal government owns those lands. Its also sovereign over the rest of the land in the country (such as 15.5% of Nevada) , but it doesn't own it.
