I found a growing nation called Rio de La Plata on a server named DiplomaticaMC. It is an earth style server where people care about politics and government and it feels like joining a real country in Minecraft.
You can become a citizen in a town and build up your own business stuff. If you want more power you can become a mayor and get funding to help your town start growing.
If you like politics you can run for office or start a political movement. The server also has a unique war system and it is crossplay. People say the community is very friendly.

UnitedFront is a geopolitical SMP set on a full Europe map. It is made for people who want more than basic survival and want politics and war and diplomacy too.
Players run the governments and it can be democracy monarchy or dictatorship. Nations can fight each other with wars and sieges and you can build up capitals fortresses and borders.
Stuff like elections laws alliances and coups can happen. There is no scripted lore and the admins are not deciding the outcomes so the players make the history.
It supports cross play on Java and Bedrock.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKronos SMP 1:500 Earth Geopolitics
Kronos SMP is a geopolitics server that uses a big 1 to 500 scale map of the real world. Players build nations and do diplomacy and fight wars on a real earth map.
There is usually around 5 to 20 people online so it feels pretty active and you can always find someone to talk to or fight or trade with. Lots of players are already well geared but netherite is still rare so it does not feel totally late game yet. Ores are still very plentiful so you can gear up if you put in some work.
One of the main nations is a sultanate that is already one of the strongest powers on the server. They are part of alliances kind of like nato and the un so there is a lot of politics and deals going on. Early players who join the sultanate can get higher positions and more power as the nation grows and builds new settlements.
The whole server is about nations and diplomacy and expansion. People build cities and bases and then use politics or war to grow. If you want to join a powerful nation or maybe start somewhere else on the map this server is all about that choice and how you play your role.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
