I found a growing nation called Rio de La Plata on a server named DiplomaticaMC. It is an earth style server where people care about politics and government and it feels like joining a real country in Minecraft.
You can become a citizen in a town and build up your own business stuff. If you want more power you can become a mayor and get funding to help your town start growing.
If you like politics you can run for office or start a political movement. The server also has a unique war system and it is crossplay. People say the community is very friendly.

ArcticMC is a new survival server that started just a couple days ago. It feels chill and atmospheric and the community is meant to be relaxed so you can just play without nonstop chaos.
The main idea is Towny mixed with factions. You can build up a town claim land make alliances or try to take territory and start fights. PVP matters here but they use an honor system and it is explained in their rules.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up as you play and unlock special abilities over time. The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and valleys.
They also have custom items and furniture and it is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag. If you like building grinding or just hanging out this server is trying to be that kind of home.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOverclocked SMP Custom Tech RPG Chaos
Overclocked is a modded Minecraft SMP that runs on a custom modpack and it is looking for more people to join.
It leans heavy into tech and building with big mods like Draconic Evolution Applied Energistics Mekanism Tinkers Create and Valkyrien Skies plus a bunch of addons.
It also has RPG and boss stuff so you can fight and level up your gear with mods like Iron Spells Terramity and Bosses of Mass Destruction.
The pack is balanced with progression gates. Draconic Evolution is locked until you can prove you stored enough power and then the owner unlocks crafting for you. Weapons are split into tiers so it is not just one item that beats everything.
Base griefing and PvP are allowed but there may be limits on certain items so nobody can delete whole bases. The modpack updates about every two weeks or sooner if something is urgent.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
