Some confusing terminology here. Premium members can certainly purchase Mainland parcels of land, but the Mainland estate is owned by Governor Linden -- in contrast to "private regions" that are part of a private, resident-owned estate.

(The terms for private parcels are even more confusing, where you "buy" them in order to rent them from the estate owner. You can of course rent Mainland parcels, too, from their land owners. Both Mainland owners and Estate owners may collect rent from other residents, and pay monthly fees - "tier" - to the Lab.)

Covenants are a whole different thing altogether: the rules for renters of a region. Typically uniform across an Estate (although Bellisseria, for example, has a covenant whereas most of Mainland doesn't).

if someone was to purchase an entire mainland regions worth of land, would they obtain any of the controls that private region owners have? or just typical parcel controls over the whole parcel?

Oh, I understand now. Sorry, but the nifty Private Region management tools are only available to Estates, not Mainland. As far as I know, a full Mainland region is just a big Mainland parcel. (It would put the owner at "Concierge" support level, although I'm not sure that's still much of a thing.)

(Hmm. Glancing over that Knowledge Base article, unless I missed it, there's some stuff that's missing such as the Region Debug Console, and some stuff that needs updating for EEP. Also, in passing, the Statistics Bar is available everywhere, not only to Estate managers.)

Just typical parcel controls.
