Land is both a social and economic layer of the game. Unlike other games that treat land as a passive investment that can yield its full potential without social participation in-game, MRN requires a [Land Owner](https://faraway.gitbook.io/whitepaper/gameplay/land-use/land-control) to be active and engaged in order to fully maximize the [returns](https://faraway.gitbook.io/whitepaper/gameplay/land-use/fees-for-land-usage) on his or her land plot.
