Unreal Estate is the Fen term for stations (and ships) like the Island and Grover's Corners -- chunks of land that were boosted into space, and are still recognizable as Earth soil.

Land Theft is an increasingly-common term in the 'Danelaw for Unreal Estate, based on the argument that while land can be owned by individuals, removing it from the Earth is effectively stealing it from future generations -- and (more importantly, at least to governments) eternally depriving whatever jurisdiction it came from of any future tax revenue on it.
