Why not a sci-fi NRP that doesn't waste space? Interest check here: roleplayerguild.com/topics/1..

Just use a faster warp drive.
Bidding interest.

I do wonder however, are the Cizram spread across space or are they spread across multiple dimensions? Is there something about No God Sky's cosmology I should keep in mind?
This is a space opera NRP, not a sci-fi NRP.
The whole local group!

(Milky Way Galaxy is good)

No one even colonized the mangellic clouds.
The only caveats I have are that whatever you make, please don't use space elves, fandom content or anthromorphic animals.
Sure. However it may take a day or two to consolidate ideas for me.
We will go with that (Me having blue while you have orange).

And how many other countries/nations/empires are going to be there?


As many as we want; middle powers with interstellar space travel that act as allies to us will be naturally well defined. The galactic equivalent of the third world will be pretty much free to all sorts of strangeness either of us wants to occupy it with.

Also, I take it that we are in control of billions of systems?


Yes. Both super powers span a large portion of the galaxy, the full extent of our power probably will be even greater than what is shown on the map when you factor in what 'alliances' we may have with lesser societies.

Logistically it sounds like a nightmare, but mind that 90% of star systems are basically glorified resource caches. The 10% of stars with habitability would be at varying levels of development. Either way, we both are massive galaxy spanning super powers and have the technology and power to hold such vast amount of space while still having incentives to dominate the whole galaxy. FTL will need to be able to traverse the galaxy in days.
Writing a long block of text is very easy, it's not a indication of writing ability. Advanced is a misnomer to hell since it implies quality RPers when it really just means people who can vomit out more words. Like, if word count equated to skill a Super Smash Bros fan fiction would be the height of human literature.

Here is a little fable from Franz Kafka to show how word count DOES NOT correlate to 'skill' at all.

Alas," said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into."

"You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.
I will have my own faction centered around Delta Pavonis.

There is a variety of known exoplanets that are downright bizarre in the space Yggdrasil reaches.

This "Cold" Venus world tidally locked around a red dwarf star is just one of the thousands of worlds Yggdrasil reaches (This is GJ 1132 b):



The diamond Planet 55 Cancri e is 40 light years away:



It's a super earth too. Yes, it's made of diamonds. For in certain cases a star system may be so carbon rich that entire worlds will be dominated by carbon. Generally carbon worlds are found around dead stars, but there is always exceptions. Diamond planets tend to be burning scorching in their temperature. (note; while 55 Cancri E is no longer believed to actually be a diamond planet, for the sake of this RP it'll be assumed that further analysis led to the world turning out to actually be made of diamond after all)



Gliese 1214 b is a massive world 2.7 times the size of Earth that is essentially a massive ocean so deep that the bottom of the ocean is a exotic form of hyper compressed ice instead of solid ground. The storms on these worlds are insanely massive and the water in some cases may actually be drinkable because of the ocean floor not being rocky, which means no salty oceans. The hostility of the environment however, may make extraction of water difficult.

There's only 71 known exoplanets that have so far been detected within 50 light years, but there is bound to be far more so feel free to design star systems as you wish. However make sure you have a star that exists within 50 light years unless you are using a brown dwarf in the outer parts of Yggdrasil.

Programs like Space Engine can be usual for dealing with the 3D space involved in this NRP and getting inspiration for alien worlds. I should warn that Space Engine believes there to be A LOT more stars than 1400 or so. I recommend turning off procedural stars and planets (except those around catalog stars).

Here are some nearby bright stars of interest:

Fomalhaut



Fomalhaut is a young A-class star system notable for having massive amounts of asteroids due to being a star system still in formation despite the existence of gas giants (for gas giants form faster than terrestrial planets).

Altair

Altair is a A-class star much like Sirius or Vega. Altair however, has the exotic property of having a exceptionally rapid rotational speed, causing Altair to flatten like this:



Altair's brightness is obscured by a nearby interstellar cloud of dust and is likely to be rich in iron (and iron worlds).

Capella

Capella is a multiple star system with two sets of binary companions. The first set of binary companions are two red giant stars, the second set of binary companions are dual red dwarves. In realspace they orbit 10000 AU apart, but in Yggdrasil they are extremely close to each other. (The red dwarves orbit at a distance of a mere .8 AU, less than the distance between Earth and the Sun)

Pollux

Pollux is the closest red giant to sol, and it is rather cool as far as red giants go with its apparent luminosity being a product of its sheer size more than actual brightness. Orbiting Pollux is a gas giant around 1.6 AU that is bound to be burning hot.
Likely in a place that is distant from you, but not too distant.

Like in a adjacent galactic quadrant.

To show what I mean (this is a example arrangement of the two super powers):



Here's the map I use:
