This server is a nation called Grand Empire and it is based on feudal Japan. It is on an SMP called Ruby and it does not use mods.
The Empire is all about discipline and hierarchy and imperial order. You join one of the legions and serve in your own way. There are Imperial Guards that protect the Emperor and keep the laws. There is the Royal Legion that is like the elite force. There is the Iron Legion that is the main army of the Empire.
The legions are all recruiting right now because this nation is new. That means it is easier to get in and rank up. If you join early you have a better chance to rise through the ranks and earn respect.
You can build bases and castles and settlements that match the style of your legion. There is a rank structure so you can progress by helping the Empire. Players do missions and ceremonies and live in an organized Empire style.
If you want a more serious nation roleplay with legions and an Emperor and no mods this server really fits that vibe.

Starfall Roleplay Seasons With Dark Themes
Character focused playlimited player slotsMature Players OnlyNarrative heavy serverserious themes allowed
I found a Minecraft roleplay server that runs in seasons and every season has a new theme. The last one was an academy vibe but the current season has characters tied to lab experiments.
The roleplay can get heavier and it may include topics like mental and physical abuse so this is for people who can handle serious story stuff. It is not an SMP and it is not an MCTV server.
The community seems friendly and welcoming and they also play other games together. There is a player limit so spots can be limited. It is 16+ only.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHARDCORE NATIONS MEDIEVAL WARFARE FORGE 1.20.1

This is a Forge 1.20.1 heavily modded server set in a brutal medieval fantasy world where PvP is the whole point. It feels like the land is always contested and you are not really meant to stay alone.
The main vibe is hardcore nations. You form a nation from nothing then build it into a real kingdom. You can claim and hold territory and if you want land you usually have to fight for it.
The world fights back too. You deal with thirst and temperature and harsh travel. Injuries matter and bad damage can change a fight fast so planning actually matters.
War is constant. People use medieval gear and siege machines to break defenses and raid. Dragons are in the world and kingdoms can rise and fall depending on who can defend what they built.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGeopol Medieval Semi Vanilla Java

I found a small geopol style Minecraft server that is going for a medieval times vibe. It uses a bunch of in house plugins so the gameplay feels more like living in that kind of world.
It also has a huge detailed custom map that tries to look like real planet geography. The owner said the server is being redone right now and they want a smaller more active community instead of lots of older inactive players.

WesterosUM is a server inspired by Game of Thrones where players can build their own kingdom and live in a full medieval era.
You can train up for wars and fight other players or you can focus on trading with others instead. It feels like you get to choose your own path while building up your place in the world.
There is also a dynmap so you can look around and see the world from above.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEU No Reset Anarchy Forever World

MinecraftOffline is an anarchy server for EU players and it is hosted in Finland so it should feel smooth if you are nearby.
The big deal is the world is permanent and it never resets ever. That means your builds and your history can stay for a long time.
It runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it uses custom plugins. The server also talks about reliable hardware so it is aiming to stay stable.
