I found Calito Nations and it is a survival civilization server where politics actually matters. It just opened early access and they want founding players to help shape everything.
You can start a town and then pick how it is run like autocracy oligarchy constitutional monarchy republic or direct democracy. The government type changes real costs like upkeep land claims and expansion. Some styles give you more control but can drain your treasury and some are cheaper but you have to deal with votes.
Elections use ranked choice voting so it is not just whoever screams loudest. Your vote weight depends on stuff like how long you lived there how much gold you put in and if you have been active recently with a cap so one person cannot own the whole town.
Every town has a tension score and if leaders ignore problems it can spiral into petitions defections and even secession movements. Nations can siege towns on scheduled weekend battle sessions. If you win you plunder then occupy the town and take part of their daily resource production. The server runs on Java 1.21.6+ and uses Folia.
Permanent Semi Vanilla Chill Survival

MCVerseCity is a semi vanilla survival place made for long term projects. The big idea is a permanent world with a no reset goal so you can take long breaks and come back without feeling like everything is gone.
It stays close to vanilla with no custom items enchants or skills. You can grind classic survival or use player markets if you want. There are also some optional quality of life things like teleporting plus builder friendly extras like armor stands mini blocks and decorative heads.
The server cares a lot about safety and protection so you can build without worrying about grief. Chat is meant to be clean with low tolerance for swearing and public chat is kept for Minecraft and gaming talk.
There are multiple ways to play. The permanent survival SMP runs on 1.21.10 with stuff like a map claims markets clans and fishing contests. There is also a hardcore vanilla option on 1.21.10 and a mostly plain vanilla world on 1.21.11 that runs for 6 to 12 months with a small claim. If you just want to test ideas there is a creative plots world on 1.21.8.
The community feels mixed age and international with player driven events supported by the admins. The world is already a couple years old and newer generation like Pale Gardens has been naturally added into the main world so it still feels fresh.
