Hello Alan, Mister Micawber, Beeesneees, Mordant, Esl_Expert and other native English speakers,

The word 'land' carries strong emotional overtones. Land is territory; it is what peoples and nations have always fought for. Land means food, security, wealth and power. Societies have a powerful need to feel and express a sense of place in the art, song, poems, pictures and fables of their culture.

They are all fine, but I like "overtones" better. It makes it clear that the connotation is more pronounced.
