This is an anarchy server called Club Evil that is pretty laid back and kinda chill. It is a survival world that is mostly vanilla so things feel close to normal Minecraft.
The server only gives you very basic commands like home and spawn. There is no sethome so you have to think before you move your base or you might get stuck. It feels more risky and more like real survival.
The server is run by players and there are no moderators or ops flying around. It really feels like everyone is on the same level and whatever happens is because of the players.
The world has some really huge caves that are crazy to explore. Near spawn there are mushroom areas and cherry groves and also a bunch of villages. So you can gear up pretty fast or just run away and start your own thing.
If you like anarchy and semi vanilla survival and want a place where you can make your mark Club Evil is that kind of server.

Whitelist GeoPVP Nations and War

HighlandsMC is a Java Edition server I found that is all about serious geopolitics and player choices. People build empires and try to run real nations while the world keeps changing because of strategy and diplomacy.
The big thing here is the GeoPol system where you can create a nation and control land. You can also join an existing country if you do not want to start from scratch. Alliances and global politics are a huge part of how the server feels.
PvP and warfare actually matter on this server. You end up defending borders and raiding enemies when things go bad. There is also a live BlueMap so you can track territories and players in real time.
The community is 16+ and it feels more mature and focused on teamwork and meaningful gameplay. The server is whitelist and it is made for Minecraft Java players.

I found a community centered survival server that is built around a Hermitcraft style SMP feel. It is made by the players and it tries to keep that vanilla experience while still adding small extras.
There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district. You will also see public builds and bigger projects that people work on together. Proximity chat is a big part of the vibe and most players actually use it.
It is Minecraft 1.21.11 on Java only. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. You can expect around 5 to 20 players online through the day and a lot of regulars plus groups that want new people to join.
