In other words, the land is either owned by the state or the collective economic organization ("CEO"). For the State-owned land, or state land, the State Council, the executive branch of the central government of China, administers state land on behalf of the state. For the collectively owned land, or collective land, it is operated and administered by rural collective economic organizations ("CEO") or villagers' committees; if land is respectively owned by two or more rural CEOs within a single village, it is respectively operated and administered by CEOs or villagers' teams; and if land is collectively owned by farmers of the CEO of townships, it is operated and administered by the CEO of townships.

The 14th state admitted to the Union, Vermont, is not in the West and was made a state only because of a dispute of ownership between New York and New Hampshire. The next 2 states admitted to the Union were Kentucky and Tennessee, but both of these were associated with other states. For Kentucky, its statehood came after splitting off from Virginia and for Tennessee, North Carolina donated the land making Tennessee to the U.S. where it was later admitted into the Union.
