This is a very hard, thread to answer to for I think this at the base of it is a good idea, but has numerous details that need to be wrinkled out, and even if they are wrinkled out I'm not sure it is even possible.
I think that creating nations would be a great idea. (I can go into great detail about this and the pros and cons, but it will just get confusing.)
Now focusing specifically on your idea.
Ok so Lisnar has not been developed yet, so should not be even considered to be apart of this or you are taking away someones opportunity to develop a unique city.
Now lets say you just create a nation around Zeltiva, maybe this could work. First thing you would need though is to talk to Liminal and Tabarnac, as they are mods of that city. But from looking a Zeltiva's lore it looks like the city is wealthy, pretty well populated, but has little land or food, and a very small land army, and large navy. So my guessing that Zeltiva wouldn't be able to do it by themselves.
So then you would need to find an army and a large amount of man power to first, obtain land anyway possible, then you would need to start to develop and tame the wilderness a task in itself. Then you would need to keep your army, which might not be that hard if you told them they could have any land they want within this nation.
The main question is how you are going to get that large of an army, and general manpower. Zeltiva doesn't have enough of a population to get an army from there.
