Nation States is a new Minecraft server that is all about building nations and doing politics between players. It is semi vanilla and uses a towny style claiming system so players can make towns and bigger nations.
The theme is early antiquity and the world is a custom map that is about 5k by 5k in size. The server wants players to focus on roleplay lore and conflicts. You are meant to play like your nation is real and act in character.
The server is made to encourage nationbuilding diplomacy trade war and lots of interaction between players. It is supposed to feel competitive so one group cannot just stomp everyone forever.
There is also something called the spirit of the server. That means you should play in a way that fits the roleplay lore and conflict idea. If you ignore that and just try to ruin the experience you can be removed so people who follow the spirit can have fun.
You can join from both Java and Bedrock and even console players can get on by adding the special friend account. It is a crossplatform world where everyone meets on the same map and fights or talks it out.

Kronos Geopolitical SMP Nation Rush
I found a new SMP that is about geopolitics and nations. It is starting soon and people are trying to join early so they can claim land they want.
There are already over 40 members and it sounds like it could get way bigger fast. Nation creation applications open within a week so the early joiners get the best shot at planning territories.
The server uses mods like Brewery and Immersive Aircraft to make things more interesting. The map is 20000 by 20000 and they said it will expand as more players show up.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAustralia Vanilla Anarchy No Rules
LegacyMC is a vanilla anarchy survival server that goes for the most raw Minecraft feeling. It is a big open world with no rules and it is meant to stay that way.
There are no gameplay changing plugins and there is no pay to win stuff. There are no land claims and no teleporting so you have to travel and survive for real.
The server started in June 2025 so it is still a newer world where you can leave a mark. PvP is on and griefing and raiding are allowed so expect chaos.
