Can you touch it any more than Islam though? You can touch ground it says is it's own, but that was called another thing before and will be called something else after. It's not called France. There is nothing fundamentally "French" about the ground. If I take a scoop of dirt from France and take it to Germany, it doesn't maintain it's France-ness. It isn't any more real than money is. It's a useful concept that we all agree to believe in, but it's not fundamental. The government is something you can touch I guess, but the same is true for leadership in Islam.
Yes
How?
