I think it's probably hard-wired, too. Very young children think EVERYTHING belongs to them and have trouble sharing.
I think that in America, you don't really "own" land; you just rent it from the gov't. If you don't think that's true, try getting away with not paying your property taxes (the generic 'you' here).
