According to an archived newsgroup posting, it means:
"May the just inhabit the land."
The same posting suggests the following explanation:
"The slogan is apparently someone's variation on one of the beatitudes found
in the Gospel of Matthew (5:5), where the Latin Vulgate reads "Beati mites,
quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram." ("Blessed are the mild, for they shall
possess the earth.")"
To see this posting, do a Google Groups search using:
"Justi terram incolant"
