Sadly its self-ownership is only "according to legend" rather than anything battle-tested.
- portaouflop 2y agoWow thanks for the entry to a rabbit hole on what is a legal person. Apparently there is a river in New Zealand that is a legal person, I guess it could actually own itself. Does not seem possible in the US outside of folklore
