AvalonEarth is a geopol EarthSMP server where players make towns and build nations on a huge 1 to 500 Earth map. It works on both Java and Bedrock so more friends can play together.
It uses Towny so you can claim land and grow your place into something real. New players get starter money so anyone can create a nation right away without grinding first.
The server already had a first season back in September and it built a strong community. Season two is live now and it has a lot of new players joining.
If you like conflict there are lots of wars and it sounds pretty active. If you do not want to fight you can stay peaceful and mostly avoid the drama.
Making money is mainly done through jobs plus farming and fishing and they said more ways are coming soon.
I found this server and it feels like super realistic city roleplay. It started as a democracy government simulation and players take the politics stuff really seriously.
The economy gets wild too. People even reinvented credit default swaps from scratch and now there is a second bank collapse happening. It is the kind of place where you can learn a lot but the learning curve is huge.
If you like watching big player made stories happen then this one is worth checking out.
