📖 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, 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.

✨ Features

🏳️ State Management

Found Your Nation — Place the Founding Stone, right-click it, and enter your country name. One nation per player.
Dissolve a Nation — /politicscraft delete (Leader only, requires a second confirmation command).
Custom Flag — Set a PNG flag via URL that renders in-game over your buildings (/flag set <url>).
Dashboard GUI — Press K (or right-click the Founding Stone) to open the management screen with tabs for nation info, cities, map, diplomacy, and economy.
Roles — Four roles: Leader, Mayor, Citizen, Guest. Assign them with /politicscraft setrole.

🏙️ Cities & Territory

City Stones — Place a City Stone to found a city within your territory.
Chunk Claiming — Claim and expand land from the Map tab. Visual border styles: Lines, Walls, Corners.

Tax Blocks — Place up to 4 Tax Blocks per chunk inside your territory to generate passive income each economy cycle.
