AvalonEarth is an earth SMP server with a 1 to 500 scale world so there is tons of land to claim and lots of space for nations. It uses Towny so players can make towns and nations and shape the world with borders and politics.
Anyone can start a nation because the server gives you starter money. You do not have to grind first or meet some weird player requirement before you can make your own country. This makes the server feel pretty fair right from the start.
The server has had a first season that did well and the community from it is still around. Now it is on the second season and a lot of new players have joined so it feels alive and active.
There is a lot of conflict and wars so if you like PvP and big battles this place fits you. If you do not like fighting you can still live a peaceful life and avoid most of the wars by staying out of trouble.
Money mainly comes from jobs farming and fishing and the owners plan to add more ways to earn soon. The overall vibe is nations fighting or making peace and players building their own story on a big earth map.
