📖 About
PoliticsMod brings a full political and economic simulation layer to Minecraft. Unlike simple land-claim mods, PoliticsMod models the inner life of a nation — founding a capital, governing cities, managing a treasury, trading with other nations, conducting diplomacy, and watching your borders.
Whether you are running a small kingdom or a massive empire on an RP server, this mod gives you the tools to secure territory, manage citizens, and simulate a living country.
