I found a small geopolitics style server that is semi vanilla on Java. It is run by the owner and it uses a bunch of in house made plugins to make everything feel like medieval times.
The world is a huge custom map and it is made to be super detailed and realistic like a real planets geography. The server is being redone right now and the goal is to end up with a more active community.

This server is basically an anarchy style SMP where people can do whatever and cause chaos but pvp hacking is not allowed so fights are meant to be fair.
