Did you know that there is such a thing as a "juridical person" which typically have been the classification of things like corporations, co-operatives and sovereign states, though in recent years a newer group of other such non living entities have been granted status as a person.
"Juridical Personality" is a basic fundamental of legal fiction relevant to the philosophy of law but has typically only ever been considered in regard to the aforementioned types of entities. However, with the Maori people of New Zealand considering the Whanganui River as their ancestor, the government designated the sacred water as a juristic person, giving it legal rights. Similarly, the Ganges River and it's major tributory the Yumana River in India, , are considered holy and were also granted this legal status. There is a move to do the same to the Himalaya Mountains, though this has not been officially declared to date.
