AvalonEarth is an EarthSMP and geopolitics server with a 1 to 500 scale world map so there is tons of space to build and spread out.
It uses Towny and the whole point is making towns and turning them into nations. New players get starter money so anyone can start a nation right away without grinding first.
The server has seasons and the first one started in September and built a strong community. Season two is out now and it has a lot of new players joining.
If you want conflict there are lots of wars and PVP. If you do not want that you can stay peaceful and mostly avoid fights. Money mainly comes from jobs plus farming and fishing and they said more ways to earn are coming later.
