I just got this Telegram (from a nation in Catlandatopia)
=======
Recruiting from the game created regions is legal. They are known as "feeders". Recruiting from player created regions such as Catlandatopia is illegal and will get any nation that does it deleted. The regions you may recruit in are: The Pacific, Lazarus, The rejected realms, the various warzones, the North, South, East, and West pacifics.
It is understandable that the game protects player created regions. It takes a lot of work to build numbers up. Some lazy region should not be allowed to capitalize off somebody else's work. I believe we have had more than a dozen players deleted for recruiting in this region.
I hope that all helps.

Actually I did nothing that caused this. Any idea what it is?
