Indeed, the current year is 04 NE. As for your location within Cyrannus, that's up to you! There is still plenty of room for new empires to grow and expand in the galactic east, which can be seen on this map: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Maps/1893

Though if you want to inhabit one of the other regions of the galaxy closer to established powers such as the New Republic and the Empire, that can also be arranged. So in short, it's up to you.
