Own at least 1 Explorer(s).

New land
Required level: 8 Claim 2 sectors.

Rewards: 50 xp

To claim a sector, build a storehouse in the area. You need to place a storehouse first before building anything else in the new sector and for the geologist to discover any deposits there.

Open the building menu > basic buildings tab and select storehouse. Place it possibly in an open area so you can place work buildings on all sides of the storehouse.

Death to the leaders
Prerequisite: Bandits!

Defeat the first bandit leader camp.

Rewards: 50 xp

The bandit leader camp in sector 2 has 12 scavengers. 20 recruits will be enough to defeat the camp, with roughly 7 recruits lost. It's a good habit to check with your combat preview to make sure losses are acceptable and that your general will not be intercepted (drawn in elsewhere to fight another camp) unexpectedly.

Building licenses
Prerequisite: Death to the leaders

Add Building Licenses from your star menu to your stock.

Rewards: 10 xp

Check your mail for a "Loot gathered" message with 10 building licenses and gold coins attached. Accept the reward, click on the star menu to find the licenses, then click on the mayor's house to add the licenses.

Too narrow
Prerequisite: Death to the leaders

Claim 4 sectors.

Rewards: 100 xp

By the time you unlock this quest, you'll already have 2/4 sectors claimed (sector 1 and 4). After completing Death to the leaders quest, place a storehouse in sector 2 to officially claim a 3rd sector.

The 4th one will be sector 5. See the clearing guide at cempire.org for troop numbers and garrison positions. The only potential change to look out for in the guide is the skipped camp B with 20 scavengers. It was previously possible to skip, but if the combat preview warns you that you will be intercepted even when your garrison is placed in the suggested position, tackle camp B with 30 R just to be on the safe side. Replenish your troops then proceed as instructed to camp 4.
