This creates a new NPR in a new system that is unknown to any other player. Of course it can be discovered or the newly created NPR can expand from it to meet you.
The second way to create an NPR is to go to the system tab (F9) click "add empire" and set the new empire as an NPR (there is somewhere a box to be checked on the creation screen). This will allow you to create an NPR on any body you want to and to customize many of it's properties like industry size, population and starting research points. Be careful though as you may create an NPR on a body that won't be able to support the population leading to a die off so make sure to properly terraform the body first (or to make sure it's habitable).
