Scenarios about 'leasehold system'

The leasehold system is a land tenure arrangement where property rights are temporarily granted to a lessee for a specified period while ownership remains with the lessor. Historically significant in feudal societies and colonial territories, this system established hierarchical relationships between landowners and tenants through contractual obligations, rent payments, and limited property rights. In alternate history scenarios, variations of leasehold systems often illustrate different power dynamics between social classes, economic development patterns, and political relationships between colonial powers and subject territories.
