United Lands is a Towny based Earth SMP on 1.21.5 and it is all about making nations and fighting over land. It uses a 1:500 scale Earth map so groups can claim huge areas without crazy upkeep and try to shape borders however they want. Big groups can also get discounts.
The gameplay goes deep with towns all over the world plus roleplay and PvP when things get heated. There are custom items and gear and even weird foods like avocados and mac and cheese.
Progress feels like you get choices since there are 7 jobs and each one has its own skill tree. You can work toward Masterwork Armor and upgrades like extra sethomes and even flying in your town.
The economy is player driven with no admin shops. Players set up warps for shops so you have to hunt for good deals or try to become the best seller.
The server says it is fair play with no pay to win since store items are cosmetic only and sponsorships do not give gameplay advantages.
