Russia currently has a program in parts of Siberia where if you move there you will get free land. So, there are still parts of the world like that. On the other hand it’s harsh continental climate (even more so than SD) and your closest neighbor could be tens of miles away, even further. And of course you need to be Russian.

Replying to myself as edit window had passed. This program[1] is actually available to foreigners but can’t own the land unless they stay for five years.
