WorldBound SMP is a serious nation server where players decide what happens through diplomacy strategy and war.
The world is a huge Earth map at 1 to 500 scale and it is made with real satellite imagery so the mountains rivers and coastlines look super accurate and realistic.
You can create or join a nation then build cities castles and big empires. People make alliances start rivalries and fight wars to take land. There is also an economy feel with trade and networks so politics actually matters.
It sounds like the goal is to start small and grow into a major power while the community writes the history as they go.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEarth Map Nations War Event
I found a small Minecraft event idea that takes place on a full Earth style map at a 1-9000 scale.
It is planned as a 2 to 3 hour session where players spread out across the continents and start little nations.
People can make alliances start drama and fight if it happens. It is meant to be more fun than serious and it is still just getting interest.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
