Seattle becomes first in U.S. to protect gig workers from sudden 'deactivation'

I know this is a very peripheral point but habitable "unclaimed" land has not really existed through most of human history.

At best there might be the occasional power vacuum. Just existing is a political act and the unit of human survival is tribe-sized or larger.

Land described as "unclaimed" is typically a convenient fiction used to support sovereignty transfer.

So in other words, war.

Depends on your definition of war. War typically implies a larger scale and organisation.
