This server is called Golden Nations and it is all about geopolitics and war. It is a semi vanilla PvP world where players make nations and then use diplomacy or fighting to gain power. The map is 5000 by 5000 so everyone is close enough to deal with each other.

You can create your own nation and write rules and treaties. Alliances and betrayals actually matter here because every war has real punishment. When you die in an official war you get banned for 24 hours and your character is totally reset. So leaders have to think hard before they send people into battle.

The economy is player driven. There are no NPC shops controlling everything. Players can still sell food crops and ores but the rest of the items and gear are based on trade production and what nations decide to do. Controlling resources and trade really means you control power on this server.

There are no elytras and no villagers. That means no easy flying across the map and no infinite villager trading for free gear. Nations have to rely on players and real logistics. Terrain borders and even where you place bases suddenly matter a lot more.

Fishing is changed with custom loot so you can pull up rare stuff that might help your nation. The whole world feels tight and competitive and it is made for people who like politics strategy and wars that actually hurt when you lose.
