The spies will be gathering the information, so neighbors shouldnt be necessary. And while the teleporation thing isnt so cool, the easy way to fix it is for the neutral nation to own 2 provinces, 1 with no neighbors, and 1 normal province. The dominion of the normal province will be swamped, but thats ok because you will still have normal dominion in your other province (that has no neighbors)
