NationWars

Nation Wars

Nation Wars is a multiplayer nation-building, economy, diplomacy, espionage, and territory-warfare mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge servers.

Create or join a nation, select a WW2-inspired country doctrine, claim territory, develop your economy, negotiate with other nations, conduct espionage operations, and fight structured wars over land.

Every doctrine has unique advantages and disadvantages. Economic planning, diplomacy, intelligence, alliances, and timing can be just as important as combat.
