The first "neutrals" appear when Omni-Tek employees - as well as clan members - abandon their affiliations and settle in non-political zones. Fearing more ICC interventions, OT authorities turn a blind eye to these neutrals.
Alteredstate the fact remains that one of these "non-political" zones, no matter what you wish to call them, Newland is in the Northern half of Rubi-Ka. This is the only city that I refer to as in Clan territory, and it is considered a Neutral city even though it used prodominantly by Omni personnel. And is on the Northern Hemisphere of the terraformed regions of the planet.

The first Rubi-Kan civil war ends when the last of the independent groups of former Omni-Tek employees known as the clans surrender their weapons and vehicles to OT forces.
Yes that is the First war. There have been 3. The second Civil war was the one where the Clans gained their rights to land. Which were later taken away by the anullment of the Tir Accord.

The clans are granted a limited lease on land from Omni-Tek in return for an end to all future armed hostilities and the continued cooperation with Omni-Tek's mining operations. This is the Clans Rights Treaty - the true birth of Rubi-Kan independence
The limited lease you spoke of is as of this moment non-existant. Which means that the Clans technically dont own or have any control over it, except for the control that lies in their weapons and hearts. That is what the Notum Wars is all about. Yes they used the word limited. That limited only pertains to the mining of Notum. It has nothing to do with ownership of said territories. Only with ownership of the Notum that is mined. This is what the original limited lease said as well.
Excerpt from the Tir Accord of July 5th 29470
· Omni-Tek is the superior governing body of the entirety of Rubi-Ka, but will leave to the Council to supervise the areas of Tir, Tir County, Athen, Athen Shire, Aegan, Northern Artery Valley, The Big One, Avalon, Mort, Newland, and Western Endless Plains.
· The Council and its affiliates will control, and are free to administer in whatever way they see fit, all natural resources in their allocated districts, with the exception of notum.
· Omni-Tek will remain in control of existing notum mines in Council-allocated districts.
· Any new discoveries of notum in Council-allocated districts are free to be mined by Council-affiliated organisations.
· Any notum extracted under Council administration will be shipped directly, and in its entirety, to Omni-Tek storage, compensated by Omni-Tek according to current, floating ICC rates.
End excerpt
Those are the only limitations imposed on the Clans as it pertains to ownership of anything in the Norther Territories. And now it has once again become a strong arm rule. Whoever has the biggest gun, owns things. Neutrals have no right to claim lands in the North just as the Clans have no rights to claim lands in the south.
