This game rewards people who are mathematically inclined, and landtrading using ghost acres do exactly that. In fact, landtrading is one of the most difficult, risky, and time consuming strategies, and accordingly should be highly rewarding.
SemperFi had the countries with the most land, some approaching 40K within a week and half of the set, but were attacked by SALT and lost many more countries. This is an example of when war was one of the main balancing factors that keep landtrading in check.
With that said, i tip my hat off to Rockman who has done the best job ever of landtrading.

You are way off on your facts. Salt declared on SemperFi on June 19th, 20 days into the set.
Here are the landsizes of the countries that were killed in Salt's FS on day 20

SemperFi lost 7 countries that were over 20k acres in the FS. They may have had a couple more over 20k that weren't killed in the first 24 hours, but they lost most of their top countries in the FS. I had all 16 of mine over 20k acres with an average landsize of 24,795 acres. SemperFi lost 2 countries in the first 24 hours that had more land than my average land size. They may have had a couple of others that were as big as my average country as of 6am GT on June 19th, but they definitely did not have most of the largest countries on the server.
