Golden Nations is a semi vanilla server that is all about geopolitics and players running the world. People make nations and leaders can set rules like constitutions then they try to survive with diplomacy or war.
The economy is player driven so trading and control of resources really matters. Players can sell basic stuff like food crops and ores but the rest depends on what players make and trade.
War is serious here. If you die in an official war you get banned for 24 hours and your character resets. That makes every fight feel risky and nations have to plan.
The world is tight at 5000 by 5000 so neighbors will run into each other fast. There are no elytras and no villagers so travel is slower and you cannot just farm infinite trades. Fishing has custom loot too so it can actually change what a nation can get.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDejams Vanilla Lifesteal Teams

This is a lifesteal semi anarchy server where everyone plays in teams. When you fight you steal hearts from other players so every battle actually matters.
There are two main teams and each team needs a leader and players. The leader decides what the team is trying to do so every team can have a different goal or style. You can make smaller factions inside the teams but it is not really encouraged because the season ends when only one main team is left.
The server has some rules so it is not total chaos but it still feels wild and dangerous. The owner is getting everything ready and the season will start once the teams are full and the setup is done.
If you like lifesteal and team wars and you want a season that ends with one team winning this server is for you.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKronos SMP Earth Nations War

Kronos SMP is a Minecraft server that uses a full Earth map in 1 to 500 scale so the continents feel really big and the oceans actually matter. Everyone starts in a fresh world with no old empires or ruined land so nobody is ahead when you join.
You pick a real location then you try to claim it defend it or steal it from someone else. Players start as small groups and can grow into full nations. The whole server is about geopolitics and strategy instead of just grinding. People make alliances start wars and sometimes backstab each other for land.
The server has a player run economy where power comes from land and how many people you have not from paid kits. Wars are real and territory can change hands so borders actually matter and are not just cosmetic. The admins say there is no pay to win and they do not play favorites.
It is Java Edition and runs on version 1.20.1 and is set up to handle a lot of players without lag. This server is made for people who like planning maps history drama and late night wars more than chill building. If you want a calm SMP this is probably not the right place.
