Iron OverWorld is a brand new whitelisted Forge server on 1.20.1 and it is all about industry nations and modern war on a custom Earth map.
People form countries and claim real world land then fight over resources. Some players will build huge factories and others will run trade empires or plan invasions.
It uses Create with heavy addons so you can automate a lot and build big train networks. Combat is not vanilla because it uses firearm mods plus big cannons for sieges and artillery.
There are also air and ground vehicles for battles and moving supplies. Proximity voice chat is enabled so diplomacy and squad comms are a big part of the vibe.
It has some quality of life mods like simple storage backpacks map tools and corpse runs. Since it is whitelisted they are trying to keep the community higher quality.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEurope Nations SMP War For Power

I found a political Minecraft server on 1.21.1 that runs on a full Europe map and it is all about player power and control.
There is no scripted RP and there are no admin made nations. Players create everything and they can also destroy it so the map keeps changing based on who wins.
You can start your own nation or city then build a capital and borders and fortify it. People fight real wars for land and resources and dominance. Diplomacy matters too so alliances and betrayal and propaganda are part of the game.
It also has territory control with consequences plus a player driven economy with trade and trade routes. Gameplay is vanilla plus with no modpacks and it also includes extra systems like alcohol and social mechanics.
If you want a chill server this is not that. If you organize you can take over and if you do nothing you get left behind.

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.
