R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

No, I meant demense (I even looked up the spelling).  The word is related to 
domain, but has a somewhat more precise shading of meaning :)

     A lord's chief manor place, with that part of the lands
     belonging thereto which has not been granted out in tenancy;
     a house, and the land adjoining, kept for the proprietor's
     own use. [Written also {demain}.] --Wharton's Law Dict.

In other words, Georg is lord of this particular manor, unless he assigns a 
piece to someone else...it seemed in keeping with the Python tradition of 
having a BDFL.
