Arable land is classified according to who is designated an overseer and director of its production:
- Titled Land: land that has been granted to a peer, management over which is tied to inheritance of the peerage, so that the peer and their house is financially supported by the land's productivity
- Endowed Land: land that has been granted to a corporate body as an endowment, so that the corporate body is financially supported by the land's productivity
- Imperial Land: land that is directly managed under the purview of the Office of the Lord Lieutenant; profits derived from the land's productivity are fed directly into the Fiscus
Arable land shall be organized into incorporated estates, with two positions elected by the denizens contracted to work that estate:
- Reeve: overseer of estate operations, delineates work schedules and duties for the estate's bound denizens so as to maximize the estate's productive output and meet the estate's production quota
- Clerk: assists the reeve by handling the estate's paperwork.
