  Presumably, it depends.

 If you "own" a continent on a frontier world,
 that's land-rich, buy

 only if you're there, and less so, further way.

 If you "own" something like Long Island in New
 York, it's a lot less

 land area, but it generates a lot more wealth than does a
 continent on

 a primitive frontier planet 8 months away.

 Income and understanding it is (at
 least in canon) a female Aslan thing. A dirt-poor rural
 Aslan noble male leading a tribe that holds thousands of
 acres would have a higher social standing than the male who
 holds all those Hiltons, that his wife manages so
 successfully.

Yeah, just what I was thinking;

"Hey dude, you may be better at all those 'girly' (aslan word for things important to female-aslans)  but I'm the REAL MAN(aslan)<tm> cuz' I got the most LAND! (punctuated w/ the aslan equiv of those Klingon 'roars' we used to see a lot of on ST-TNG)
