Read a random definition: separation of patrimony

A quick definition of indemnity land:

Indemnity land is public land given to a railroad company to help pay for building a right-of-way. This land is given to make up for land that was previously granted but can no longer be used for the railroad. It can also be land given to a state to replace land that was previously granted but can no longer be used by the state.

A more thorough explanation:

Indemnity land refers to public land that is granted to a railroad company to help cover the cost of constructing a right-of-way. This land is given to indemnify the railroad company for land that was previously granted but has since become unavailable for railroad use due to a disposition or reservation made after the original grant.

For example, if a railroad company was granted land for a right-of-way, but later a portion of that land was taken away for a national park, the railroad company may be granted indemnity land to make up for the lost land.

Indemnity land can also refer to federally owned land that is granted to a state to replace previously granted land that has become unavailable for the state's use. This is also known as place land.

For instance, if a state was granted land for a park, but later that land was needed for a military base, the state may be granted indemnity land to make up for the lost land.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
