Positions are random.
You could ask the empires next to you for help, send them a dr request explaining your situation and most large empires are kind enough to the new guys to let them take a buildable zone or 2. But please ask first, wait for a response , they may be away for a couple of days , so give them time to answer.
The other thing to do is save 25 million to claim another zone elsewhere on the map.
Or since you have just started, and may not want the hassle, just start another empire and hope for a better position.
You can have 5 empires so start your others now.
Your current empire wil autodelete after 7 days if you do not log in, so start the other allowed empires, wait the the other to delete and then start your fifth and final empire.
