AvalonEarth is a Minecraft earthsmp server with a 1 to 500 scale map so there is a lot of space to claim land and build nations. The server uses Towny so towns and nations are a huge part of the gameplay.
Everyone gets starter money when they join so you can make your own nation right away. You do not have to grind forever first and there are no weird player requirements just to start.
The server is on its second season. The first season started in September and a strong community grew from that. The new season already has lots of new players and feels really active.
There is a ton of conflict and wars between nations if you like battles and strategy. But if you do not enjoy war you can still live a more peaceful life and try to avoid most of the fighting.
You can earn money mainly through jobs farming and fishing and the owner said more ways to make money will be added soon. Overall it feels like a server where you can build a nation fight in wars or just chill and play with other players.

NightClub SMP 9PM EST Semi Anarchy

I found a new survival server called NightClub SMP and it is semi anarchy so the players kind of run the whole place.
It is not super strict and it feels like a sandbox where alliances betrayals traps raids weird politics and random wars can happen if the right people show up.
Stealing and raiding are allowed but only if the other player is online and knows it is happening. Cheating is not allowed and neither are lag machines or server breaking stuff.
You have to join the Discord to play and the server IP gets posted there when it opens. There is also a daily playtime system and you can earn bonus time.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Lifesteal SMP With Proximity Chat

Awesome SMP 2 is a fresh Lifesteal SMP where fights actually matter because you can gain hearts by eliminating other players. It is meant to feel mostly vanilla and not like some huge modpack.
It only uses a couple mods to keep things simple. There is a voice chat mod so you can talk in proximity and that makes random encounters and fights way funnier. It also has JEI so crafting is easier to figure out.
The server is competitive but still supposed to be fun. There are streamers and regular players so people can make content start wars build alliances or just grind and survive. The world is new so everyone starts equal and the owner says events are planned.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLazyCraft No Paywalls Survival SMP

LazyCraft is a chill survival SMP I found that really sticks to the no paywalls idea. It is 100 percent free to play and it tries to keep a semi vanilla survival feel while still giving you a lot of helpful commands.
The world is made for long term play. The overworld is huge and the nether and end are claimable. There are also resettable resource worlds in every dimension so you can keep gathering stuff.
PvP is off in the overworld unless you go to the spots where it is allowed. Phantoms are also turned off everywhere which is honestly nice.
Building feels safe because there are strict no grief rules and you can claim land. You can fly inside your claims and start with free sethomes. You can also make towns with Lands and set up player warps.
The economy is mostly player driven. You can sell ores to a server shop. You can trade with players and use the auction house. You can also make unlimited chest shops and there is a special world just for player shops.
For quality of life you get things like feed repair trash and condense without needing ranks. There are craftable mob catchers plus tree feller with auto replant. You also start with player vaults.
The community is small but active with about 10 online during the day and 10 plus regular daily players. The owner actually listens to suggestions and adds new features. It supports Java and Bedrock 1.21.11.
