What do you mean "next to the Sol Federation"?

I'll update the map tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
Yeah I was worried that I was to vague. The coastline close to the border by Neptunia
Nation in Selene: Atariia
Nation Name: Atariia
Plot: West of Alssahra to the river, northeast corner hits the lake, north and east borders run along the river
Customisation: Capital city of Atar on the eastern bank of the lake where it hits the sea, more cities/locations incoming later (capital, city names, locations)

Nation Name:Sempiere
Plot: Beside Ellevia. Borders at the river, southwest Dusmor Republic and northeast Selene.
Customisation: Capital City: Coloni City. Located anywhere beside the river(left). Cities: Aflan, also borders the river. Terun, Indion, and Destor located throughout.
Welcome to Selene! Your nation has been added to the various maps, most prominently the
biome map and the
wiki map. Your nation has a total area of 588 297 km^2. If you need any guidance, please feel free to start a thread in this very subforum or send me a message.

I have added this request. Your nation now has an area of 440 155 km^2.

I am establishing a small change in the freedom to request additional lands valid henceforth. Any nation with an area above 25 000 px whose land is primarily in an island will not be able to request additional territory in the mainland. If you would like to know what is the size of your nation, I am happy to tell you here in this thread. As always I reserve the right to refuse requests for additional lands if they would take a nation over the size limit or would be too unrealistic.

Please be aware that your nation needs to be in Selene for you to apply.
Can I just disagree a bit here, I reckon if someone has a good enough reason for it roleplay wise they should be able to have land on the mainland, like wise coastal nations should be able to claim small islands. Also I reckon the size limit should be a bit bigger, and I know I'm not admin but I think it should be a bit less regulated, I mean, do you want every nation to be a similar size and confined to a continent or island?
This rule is targeted at nations large enough that any mainland claim would be tiny in comparison with their island territories. If your entire country is based in an large archipelago, it makes little sense you should have a small piece of land in the mainland. It does make sense a nation with small islands to have a larger portion of its territory in the mainland.
The size limit is there because there will be future nations coming to claim their land, and we need to ensure there is enough space in the map for them. The current limit allows nations to be as large as around 1 200 000 km^2, depending on their specific location. That is a considerably large nation, but one also should consider that larger is not always better. What matters is not how many millions of squared kilometres your nation has, but how you develop it.
I should point out that the limit is not absolute. If there is a new user who comes with an interesting nation concept that would necessarily call for a slightly larger nation, it is entirely possible to let them claim a territory larger than 60 000 px.
I hope this helps clarify the reasoning behind both rules.

Alright good that does help.
I don't disagree with any of the reasoning here but why not limit claims based on land area instead of pixels? That would make extreme northern and southern claims significantly smaller by default.
Unless that would fall under an appeal as an "interesting nation concept"
I considered doing that, but it would make things more cumbersome for me. I have a pixel calculation readily available on the screen of my mapmaking program, whereas I would need to use the area calculator multiple times if I wanted to ensure a particular plot was truly under an area-based limit.
