Geopolitical
by sodogcraft1
Geopolitical lets players found and run nations on Forge and NeoForge, with claims, roles, members and live war between them.
What it does
Players form a nation with a core and a government structure, then manage its members and assign roles to each of them. Members can be given their own permissions, and a nation keeps a country status view that shows its holdings and standing. The mod is loosely based on a Towny-style plugin, extended with features tailored to the Poli-Nation modpack by SoDogCraft.
Nations claim territory and can take part in live wars, with uprisings that members may start under the right conditions. A GUI gathers claim management and the geopolitical actions available to each nation. The author describes a planned update in which a player surrounded by another nation's claim can be drawn into a more realistic kind of warfare.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is all rights reserved, so it is not open source.
