    I don't have a problem with claiming land that is uninhabited and unoccupied but I also don't think there can be any enforceable border under these circumstances if no troops are patrolling to spot violations. If you want a firm border, build watchtowers, forts or cities. That stops a civ with good fortune during the early exploration process just claiming vast tracts of land it cannot possibly settle. The current squabbling over antarctic mineral rights and offer to sell acres of moon surface strikes me as being perfect examples of unenforceable territorial claims.
    To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
