Rai Nations is a session based nations server where people show up for scheduled play times and build up their own nation. It usually hits 20 plus players at peak and there is still room to claim space and start something new.
The sessions run in EST on Wednesday 6 to 8 PM Friday 6 to 9 PM Saturday 1:30 to 4:30 PM and Sunday 1:30 to 5:30 PM. It feels made for players who want a geopolitics style nation server but do not want to grind all week just to keep up.
There is a merchants village where you buy and sell items instead of doing villager trading. The economy uses Credits for most stuff like materials and enchants and a rarer currency called Rai Kurrency that you can find daily in chests. Rai Kurrency is used for heavier buys like Netherite enchants.
The server also has ongoing lore with the Unknown and the Unknown Fragments. Five beings split off and they can cause weird events and shenanigans. Staff are described as friendly and ready to help and the server runs plot points and events through the season.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLifeRobbery Semi Vanilla Lifesteal SMP

I found a LifeRobberySMP that is basically a Lifesteal style SMP with the same mechanics as the original setup.
It is semi vanilla and it is starting at 11:20 AM EST so it feels like a fresh beginning where everyone jumps in around the same time.
You can play on Java 1.21.10+ or on any modern Bedrock. If you are on Java you need the SimpleVoiceChat mod. They also say you should have at least an hour of free time. You can DM for details.
