I found a USA based towny server that just launched.
It looks like it is focused on playing on a map and making towns with other players.
If you want a fresh place to start and help shape the community from day one this one is worth checking out.

MineX SMP is a survival server that feels like it wants you to actually live in the world and not just speedrun it. It runs on 1.21.11 and it uses a huge 8K by 8K custom survival map made for exploring and settling down for the long haul.
The main thing people do here is Towny. You can claim land start a town build protected areas and team up into nations. It also leans into player made politics and a survival style economy so towns and groups can grow over time.
There is also a custom enchant system so combat mining and gear progression has more options than normal. The server is still being worked on and new areas and systems keep getting added as it develops.

UnitedFront is a geopolitical Minecraft server where the main point is politics and war not just regular survival building. Players make the story and there is no script deciding who wins.

This is a modded Minecraft server built around a Dust to Dust style run but with a TerraFirmaCraft focus and a custom twist.
The whole point is going from the Middle Ages to the Cold War and even past that. Players can build empires or watch them fall apart. It feels like a living timeline that gets shaped by what everyone does.
The server has its own chronology and the plan is to turn what happens into a future YouTube video so the world history actually matters.

PvP is a big part of the server. There is a custom battle points system and there are large battle zones for nation wars. There are control points that give rewards and advantages so fights actually matter. The PvP is balanced and it really focuses on teamwork instead of just one person carrying.

There is a full player economy with jobs and player shops and an auction house. You can build a small town or grow a huge nation. You can try to rule trade or start wars or just become a sneaky crime lord. What you do really changes the world.
The server has pvp and duels so survival is competitive and not just peaceful building. There is vein miner that makes mining faster so you can progress a bit quicker. There is also proximity voice chat so talking to people feels more real when you explore or fight or roleplay.
VirexMC is not pay to win so the gameplay is fair and depends on your skill and effort. It feels like a true towny SMP with towns nations economy and pvp all mixed together.

This is a semi anarchy style server with a really weird death system. When you die in the overworld you get sent to a different dimension but you keep your items. If you die in that other dimension you lose everything. So you have to be careful or you are totally wiped.
There are three big nations you can join or you can just play alone. Interdimensional Raiders is the one for bounty hunters. They focus on hunting other players in the overworld to gain power and items. Sunburst is more for PvE players and they cannot be targeted by the raiders and just want to explore and learn about other dimensions. Xing is based on Fullmetal Alchemist and if you start there you begin with custom abilities and you have to build your whole progress around those abilities.
Right now the server is a work in progress. The owner keeps it online as much as possible and is still testing stuff so some features do not work yet but they are being worked on a lot. Custom items and mobs are planned and are coming pretty soon.
There is a 20 player limit at the moment so it feels like a small community. The only things that can get you banned are if you purposely try to lag or crash the server. Pretty much everything else is allowed because it is semi anarchy.
