I found a server called StatesMC and it is a SMP that is all about PvP and factions.
The big thing here is a gun system that works without mods. People can build up and then go fight other factions and get into politics too.
It is made so you do not have to grind a ton. Factions can spend more time building shooting people and doing the fun parts.
It is for Java 1.21.11.

Claim protectioncompetitive factions vibeNation building roleplaySkills based combatterritory control
I found a survival server where players can start their own nation or join one that already exists. You can set up your own government with laws and ranks and then try to grow your power.
The main idea is geopolitics and wars. There are resource camps in game that nations can conquer for income and for expanding into new territory. The server also pushes skill grinding with McMMO so fighting and progress feels tied to what you practice.
It uses Dynmap so you can see the world map. It also has claim protection and useful survival plugins plus spawners and custom enchants. New players join by getting whitelisted and a staff member can guide you and give a beginner kit.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMinemist SMP Geopolitics And Enchantment Wars

I found Minemist and it feels like survival got turned into a civilization simulation. You make towns and then you try to turn them into nations. People can declare war and if they win they can occupy your town or steal your money.
The wild part is everyone is always visible in the overworld so hiding is not really a thing. It turns into a big politics game where you have to negotiate manipulate or conquer if you want control.
Enchantments are also a huge deal because you pick a culture and that choice controls what enchantments you can access. You cannot have everything so players end up arguing and making deals over gear.
Progression is slower too. Villagers are not handing out easy enchanted books. You have to craft enchantments use the enchanting table or loot the world and rare materials matter. It is based in Sydney Australia so it is built for low ping hits especially for Oceania players.
They say wars do not mean your builds get griefed into dust and rollbacks exist for major grief. So you can build something cool and still have something to fight over.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJoin The Invisible Mafia Army

This is a new Minecraft group that is trying to make a real Invisible Mafia style army. The whole idea is to gather enough players to become an unstoppable force.
People join up and work together with one big goal. Taking over servers as a team. It is still early days so the member count is low right now.
If you join early you have a better chance to get a higher rank in the army. This is for players who like big plans and want to be part of something that tries to grow fast.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGeopolitical Earth Towny With War Bonds
Custom resource zonesLoan system roleplaymarket speculationResource based upkeepStrategic land grabs
This is a geopolitical Earth server where towns fight over real life regions for resources. Iron gold and diamonds only come from certain areas so you have to claim the right land to get them. Mining is done with open pit style digging so everyone can see what you are taking.
It runs on Towny and your town needs different resources to keep going. Small towns can survive with simple stuff like iron but bigger towns need more types. Gold matters and oil is a custom drop that only shows up in specific zones.
The economy feels serious because players can make shops and also deal with loans. If you want to start a war you can raise money with a war bond then try to siege rivals and take their land. There is a dynamic server shop too so people can mess with prices and even try to short the market.
