United Land's most powerful and influential nations.

The powers system is a mechanic in place to encourage geopolitical play. Powers represent the server's elite nations and encapsulate the ideal community member. Not only is having a power rank a symbol of status, wealth, and influence, it also comes with many benefits to reward this type of playstyle.
Major powers are the top tier you can reach in-game and show the server you are not only the dominant force in your local area, but can exert your influence across the map. These nations are characterised by a strong military presence and enough political power to further their interests wherever they might be.
For your nation to qualify as a Major power, it must first already be a minor power and fulfil the below criteria. If you believe you are ready, please open the relevant ticket in the support section of our Discord and complete the application form.
For your application, in addition to the below stated criteria, you must explain how your nation influences the server (i.e. is relevant). This is a very open requirement but your nation must have some sort of economic, diplomatic, political, military, or cultural feature that is important to the lands outside your nation. You only need to fulfil one of the listed criteria, but having more can only strengthen your case.
The Admin team are responsible for the final decision, you are not guaranteed a position even if all criteria are met. You will, however, be given an exact reason as to why and how to remedy it.
Armed
Your nation and every town inside of it must be non-neutral.
Capacity to defend yourself from foreign military threats.
Dominant
Your nation must be the dominant force in your area, this does not mean the only nation.
You can achieve dominance in multiple ways, usually through force or diplomacy.
Beating all the nearby nations and towns in a war will be an acceptable display of force.
Diplomatic dominance can be achieved through negotiating alliances or other treaties with all local towns and nations.
If you are the only nation in the area, you may be given an alternative task to show dominance, in-line with your nation's lore.
Active
You must house a reasonably active population (minimum of 3-4) across your nation.
This includes the nation leader and ideally most of the town mayors.
All towns must have publicly accessible town spawns.
Large
High overall population in all of the main towns.
Sizeable claims in your home region, clearly defined and defensible borders, and a clear path of expansion.
Serious
Your nation must be based on an existing/historical entity or believable fiction.
No joke names or themes can be present.
Realistic and defined system of government.
While we will accept more outlandish forms of government not likely to work in real life, they must be grounded to an extent.
Stable
No sign that the nation will be disbanded or change drastically in the near future.
Your nation must be stable both ideologically and governmentally. Nations that change direction or lose towns often will not qualify.
Beautiful
Consistent and topical build theme based on the local region or nation's chosen culture. Towns must expand at a reasonable rate with new constructions happening.
While subjective, your build style and skill must be considered at least 'good' by the Staff team.
Logical
All territories claimed by your nation must make sense within your nation's lore and context, both internal and external border must be consistent. Unclean borders are not allowed.
Outposts are reserved for small coastal or island claims. Large and distant outpost claims must be governed by a town.
Generally, entirely inland outposts are disallowed, however certain exceptions can be made via ticket application.
Outposts must be connected to their owning town via infrastructure, this is usually by road or port.
You must be able to explain and justify the existence of claims and outposts and how they fit into the lore of your nation.
Claims will be rigorously monitored by staff, if you are unsure if a claim will make you ineligible for a Power status, please contact Staff through a Discord compliance ticket to receive confirmation.
Documented
A reasonably sized player-wiki article will be required for your nation and any major towns.
This article will be examined by Staff and used as a reference when judging other parts of your nation, so ensure it is complete and of high quality.
It is apparent that becoming a Major Power requires a lot of work and dedication, those who meet the criteria can enjoy the following benefits:
70% upkeep reduction across all towns in the nation.
A total of 90% reduction if your town is open to territorial wars.
Ability to start world wars if your town is open to territorial wars.
A custom emoji of your nation's flag for the Minecraft and Discord server.
To redeem it, open a ticket on Discord with the following: A 128x93 png of your nation's flag (max size 256kb).
Bonus claim transfer ability.
To redeem it, open a ticket on Discord.
If, for whatever reason, your nation has a power status and no longer meets one or more criteria; Staff will investigate and potentially issue a warning. We will allow time for your nation to re-meet the expectations.
If you no longer meet one or more criteria for an extended period of time (context dependent) you will lose the status.
