Player-run nations

One of the primary features of Avatarverse is the presence of player-run nation states governing almost all characters. Nations are the backdrop of all roleplay on the server and the building blocks of player-driven politics.

Players are given the freedom to steer national and international politics on their own accord. Therefore, nation leaders can make and unmake laws, punish their citizens justly or unjustly, declare wars, etc. A nation is not guaranteed to always exist. That said, in extraordinary circumstances, the Roleplay Council reserves the right to intervene in situations that are believed to cause excessive or irreversible damage to the roleplay integrity of the server.

Nations organize on their own Discord Servers owned by the nation's leader and passed from one leader to another. These servers vary significantly because the Nation Leaders have full creative freedom but must abide by Avatarverse Rules in these spaces nonetheless.

Geofeatures

A geofeature is something with a geographical domain, an object or area that takes up space, The nation system has several types of geofeatures, the most fundamental being the chunk.

• Nations
• Provinces
• Settlements
• Nodes
• Chunks

Chunks

To understand nations, we must first understand chunks. A chunk is a rectangular prism of a width of 16 blocks and a height spanning from Minecraft's minimum to maximum height.

The chunk is the building block of the nation system's geofeatures.

For more information about chunks, check out Minecraft's Wiki .

Settlements

A settlement is a protected group of chunks within a province. It is a subset of a province and is owned by whichever nation owns the province. Only members of a settlement's parent nation can build/destroy in the settlement, unless they are placed on that settlement's whitelist.

Settlements are also places where most players can live without fear of being attacked. Damage is not taken in these areas, except under certain circumstances. See Combat & Jailing for more information.

Settlements can have their own leaders, if a ranking system is created for them by their owning nation's leadership.

Nodes

A node is a protected group of chunks within a province that can overlap with settlements and has special properties that differentiate it from settlements. The resources in nodes cannot be removed by a foreigner (someone who isn't a member of the node's owning nation), and the animals in nodes cannot be harmed by foreigners either.

Provinces

A province is a group of chunks. Provinces are subunits of nations and can have their own leaders.

Nations

A nation, at its fundamental level, is a group of provinces. Nations also have a variety of settings that set them apart from other nations, such as a unique name, color, and banner. They also have a set of ranks, at the top of which is the nation leader, and a settlement they count as their capital. Nations have a population of citizens as well.

Resource Nodes

The world of Avatarverse has conventions that differ from those of other Minecraft servers. It is not full of ores and other resources. Because of that, it is instead filled with regenerating nodes dedicated to specific resources, often just referred to as nodes.

A node is usually a small area that contains copious amounts of a specific resource or set of resources, as well as a clickable sign that allows anyone to regenerate the node every once in a while.

These nodes are owned by the nation that claimed territory where the node is located and forbids resource extraction by foreigners. The only way to gain resources located in nodes from other nations is to trade with the people of that nation. Because of that, resource nodes have largely become political tools for nation leaders in trade deals and other ways.

Attempting to collect resources from anywhere else than resource nodes without permission from the the Nation Leader of that area or Staff Team is considered griefing, and:

Nation Ranks

Each nation has a rank system that is completely customizable according to the nation leader's needs. Each rank has a numerical priority from 1 to 100, with 1 denoting the lowest priority, a regular citizen, and 100 denoting the highest priority, the nation leader.

Ranks are displayed in front of a character's name in all chat channels and contain a set of nation permissions. The rank can either possess or lack access to a certain nation permission, allowing or prohibiting a certain nation action or command.
