I found a server called Trotuserver and it feels like a vanilla world with geopolitics. The big thing is there are no map resets so your builds can stay for the long run.
There are no land claim stuff and no teleporting. It is more about traveling and living with what you build. People make towns and nations and you can join old ones or new ones or start your own.
The server has been around for about 7 years so the world has history. It is a good place for big projects and worldbuilding and also roleplay if you like that.
It also allows Litematica EasyPlace with the setting that helps blocks place in the right direction. There are some datapacks for convenience and a plugin called Brewery for making drinks. There is also a custom resource pack and players can contribute to it.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPlayer Led Nations and Unscripted Worldbuilding

Instead of normal land claims it uses a block based reinforcement system from Citadel. This helps protect your stuff without worrying about chunk borders.
