answer:In my opinion, no one group of people can lay claim to any nation-sized tract of land. Earth belongs to God, who has chosen the human race as husbandmen ( which has largely turned out to have been rather bad for the Earth ). However large a tract of land we currently have possession of, we are to hold in trust for the entire human race, and for the plants and animals resident there. A naton is more than simply a tract of land around which we have placed borders. A nation is composed of its people, their culture and history, and their economy and symbols, in addition to the land. The land, and all the other things which make up a nation, is to be held in trust for future generations of mankind, not for just our own progeny.
