I found a continuous civilization style RP server called Nations. You pick one of five kingdoms and join their society. Each nation has ranks like royalty nobles soldiers builders and citizens. The leaders are real players and they can run things like a monarchy or a council or whatever they want.
It has real consequences but it is not wipe heavy. There are no permanent bans for gameplay mistakes. Death penalties are measured in hours. Wars hit your nations economy and even the value of your currency. If your side loses your wealth can drop and if it wins your currency rises.
It also has custom systems so it is not just a vanilla SMP. Brewing is done with cauldrons and it makes magical and alcoholic potions with a timed process and rarity levels. Enchanting is timed too and stronger enchants take longer plus there are medieval fantasy style enchants.
There is a Nexus system for taxes treasury management diplomacy tracking and leader controlled economic settings. Each race has its own currency that you earn hourly and from achievements. You can trade it and exchange it and the value shifts based on how your nation is doing.
The world never resets so cities and wars and your story stay. There is lore about a united kingdom that got broken by a portal to the Void and now the future is fully player driven. It feels built for serious RP political players long term grinders and builders who want their work to matter.

I found a brand new SMP that is the total opposite of chill. The whole point is drama conflict and real consequences. The world is bordered so players get pushed close together and towns end up right next to rivals.
There is no world protection at all and everything is player enforced. If your town lives it is because you defended it and if it falls that is on you.

I found REGNUM and it feels like a world that is meant to last. It is Java 1.21.11 and it is long term survival with no map resets. It is pvp and it leans semi anarchic so you are not getting handheld.
The whole point is minimal laws and maximum consequences. Players handle most problems through deals and alliances or straight up fighting. Staff mainly steps in for basic boundaries so the server stays fair and people are not harassed.
It sits between vanilla survival and a more serious medieval politics server. People build castles and claim lordships then go to war and lay siege. There are tools for stuff like commanding undead armies and capturing enemies. Nights are harder and there are balanced quality of life plugins.
It is whitelist only and it sounds like a small group that wants more people. The vibe is competitive in game but still friendly outside of it.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPREGNUM Semi Anarchy Medieval War SMP
