Not sure if this should be in technical or issues, so I'm going to post it to both.

Many issues have something to do with government land or the public, but a capitalist country, such as my own, has no government land or public property or anything like that. So with a lot of issues I'm left with no options that pertain to my country and thus have to dismiss countless issues.

It would be nice if the system were a bit more logical when it comes to Capitalist countries. It's almost as though everyone accepts the premise that the government must do *something* other than just being a police man.

Well the thing is, even the most capilistic countries will have government land and property. Even if they're "just being a police man", you need stations for the officers, jails for the convicts, courthouses for the trials, ect. And that's just for law enforcement, if you have a millitary and/or a legeslative branch to your government there's going to be even more land and buildings that need to belong to the government.

Now I can undertand not having public property(simply leaving it up to corperations to create parks and such would be an example of this), but you're not going to get out of having goverment land and property unless you can turn your country to anarchy. It doesn't matter how small the goverment is or how little it does, if it exists at all it needs land and buildings to do so.

True, but I don't think that the issues that bring up public property are talking about court houses.

Example:

The issue involving nudity is null because in a capitalist country it would be up to land owners, not the government, as to whether you could be naked on their property. If a land owner didn't want it then the person who wouldn't put their clothes on would be arrested.
