Liker is correct. You can create a new nation, but it shall start as a proposal. Once it reaches all of the needed requirements, it can become canon.

So, yes, you can create a nation but it must:

a) not conflict with existing canon, and

b) be the plausible site of a remnant after DD

Spar, the best way to find a nation is to look at the map and find a grey area that wouldn't have been nuked.
