Land costs people
A city holds only as much land as it has active residents, and pays for it weekly in real resources. Hoarders shrink. Living cities grow.
Private Minecraft world · since 2024
Two languages.One world.Real politics.
Res Publica is a closed, whitelisted server where Russian- and English-speaking players build cities, found nations and negotiate across the language border. The world is two years old — and it remembers everything.

The language border is the feature
«Europe in a box»
Most servers pick one language. We kept two.
Two official communities — Russian and English — share one map, one economy and one negotiating table. Proximity voice makes it physical: walk into a foreign city and you hear a foreign language. Trade needs a phrasebook. Treaties need a translator. Misunderstandings become history.

A border market, any evening
Voice with distance
You hear whoever stands near you — not a global channel.
Treaties in your language
The terms of every treaty are shown to each reader in their own language.
Two global chats, one local
RU and EN channels for the world; local and national chat in any language you manage.
A phrasebook on the wiki
Enough Russian — or English — to buy iron and avoid a war.
II · Lex
Politics that runs on rules, not on admins
Our own mod, Derzhavy, runs cities, nations, land, treaties and war. Everything is visible, everything is enforced by code.
War is rare and reversible
Only nations declare war — with a stated goal, a price and 48 hours’ notice. Battles run in scheduled two-hour windows, and everything broken is restored afterwards.
Your house stays yours
Conquest changes the flag over the land, not the owner of the home. Defeat is soft: you keep what you built.
No currency, real goods
Chest shops trade item for item. Iron for diamond ore, gunpowder for a ship. Prices are whatever the market agrees on.
Closed means safe
Paid whitelist, one account per person, every block change logged. No griefers, no cheaters, no alts — everyone here is somebody.
No daily chores
Upkeep is weekly, you can prepay a month ahead, and a vacation lasts up to eight weeks. Life comes first.
III · Orbis
A world with two years behind it
You are not joining a fresh map. You arrive in a place with capitals, borders, newspapers, a bank and old grudges.
Capital: WeißdorfOST
Free Duchy of Ostmark
Half-timbered streets, a parliament that argues and a foreign ministry that issues stern statements. The newspaper Weißdorfe Welle reports on all of it. Home of the W&P bank and of the Halloween night festival that takes over the capital every autumn.
Capital: KatureyKAT
Kingdom of Katurey
A kingdom ruled by two mayors: two birds flying side by side on a night-blue flag. An airfield with a control tower, a metro, the KATUREY BRICK hotel, and a canal blasted through a mountain to reach the sea.
Capital: AltınkaleALT
Altınkale
Viziers, beys and janissaries. In May 2026 its troops landed in Tartaria without a fight; the village is now Sınırdağı, the fortified northern port of the state, with a tavern called the Wild Sail.

IV · Machina
Built to be lived in
A carefully assembled Fabric pack: nothing that turns Minecraft into another game — everything that makes a shared world feel real.
Proximity voice chat
Simple Voice Chat with real distance: whisper, talk, shout. Walk away and the conversation fades.
Sound physics
Echo in caves, muffled voices behind walls. A cathedral sounds like a cathedral.
Ships
Cogs, brigs and galleys with cargo holds and cannons. The seas are the highways here.
Aircraft
Biplanes, airships and gyrodynes — and airfields that players built for them.
Distant Horizons
See a capital from a mountain range away. The world finally has a skyline.
Flags, paintings, signs
Custom paintings, banners without limits, flags that actually fly.
Live map
Dynmap in your browser: borders, cities, shops and ports.
Everything is logged
Every placed and broken block is recorded. Disputes are settled with facts.
V · Comparatio
Know CivMC or EarthMC?
Then you know what real server politics feels like. We keep that depth — nations, vassals, treaties, sieges, resources instead of money — and change the contract around it.
Open server
Anyone can join, so you plan for the worst: vaults, bunkers, constant vigilance.
Paid whitelist
Everyone is known and logged. Territory protects itself, so you can simply build.
War as background
Raids at any hour; whoever is awake wins.
War as an event
Declared, priced, fought in windows set by when defenders actually play.
Lose everything
A lost war can erase months of work.
Soft defeat
Blocks are restored, homes stay with their builders, status can be won back.

VII · Cives
Built by its residents
For two years this world was a small invite-only server. The people who built its capitals are still here — they tested the new mods and this site before you saw them. On the wiki they carry the Founder badge. Ask one of them for a tour.

Quaestiones
Before you ask
What is Res Publica?
A private Minecraft: Java Edition server where players build cities and nations and run real politics — in two languages at once. The world has been running continuously since 2024.
Why is it paid?
The one-time fee of $19 is a filter: it keeps out griefers, cheaters and throwaway accounts, and it pays for the hardware. It is the only thing we sell.
Is there pay-to-win?
No. There are no ranks, kits, boosts or loot boxes. Everyone enters with the same empty inventory.
Do I need to speak Russian?
No. One of the two official languages — English or Russian — is enough. All mod menus, treaties and the wiki are in both. The rest is solved with the phrasebook, gestures and goodwill, which is half the fun.
Do I have to role-play?
No. Nobody is required to play a character. But the world reacts to what you do: build a port and you are in someone’s trade route, sign a treaty and you are in the newspapers.
Can I lose my base?
Inside a city nobody but you breaks blocks on your plot — not even the mayor. War is fought in scheduled windows, and everything broken is restored afterwards. If a city is conquered, the flag changes; your house remains yours.

The borders are drawn in pencil. Come and move them — or defend them.
