Just an opinion, but I think the only thing allodial out there is coins, preferrably gold or silver, otherwise known as portable soil. Base metal coins may also be claimed as allodial but frankly just aren't worth too much. A lot of effort these days is put into making coins look silvery or golden in the same way green ink is put on paper to give it a certain 'color'.

Ownership of land seems to be determined by who can plaster the most paper on it in the recorders office. Even if you go back to the patent some pretty shady methods were used to separate the Indians from their 'occupancy' of the land by the government. In the early colonies you go back to the original grant of land from the crown but who gave the crown the power to grant the land to anyone? Everyone agrees that land can't be 'sold' but an awful lot of people want to sell it to you and a lot of other people want to tax it because you have the paper that says it is yours. It would appear that it is not the land that is being taxed but the paper declaring ownership. You might as well claim to have alloidal title to the paper as the land. Paper isn't worth very much these days either unless you are cold and need a good fire starter.

Title seems to be equated with how good the paper you hold relative to the paper of others that proves that you are the sole or best owner. With a coin, if it is in my pocket I own it. The whole system is much easier to figure out and doesn't require lawyers or judges. And a coin doesn't have any paper declaring ownership, title, registration or taxes due because it is possession that counts, the same as land.
