Land not owned by anyone.

Land not owned by anyone is land that can be claimed by anyone. Which means that anyone can build a hut there and then legally claim the land as their own private property.

Maybe in your crazy legal system.
Then what's to stop me from plopping an oil well on it?
Let us know if you find it.
