A legal description exists, and the property’s boundaries may be seen on a land survey.
Meanwhile, Virtual real estate has a lot in common with real estate in terms of general definitions. The legal descriptions in Decentraland and Sandbox, for example, are individual pixels (basically code) that define the “parcels.” and much like in the real world, the number of parcels available is limited.
