Can you skip conquering and keep your race on the board without declining?
The designer and publisher replied that you may stay without conquering or declining, though a few readers take the rule literally.

Yes. A turn with no new conquest still counts as the expanding option, and declining is never forced, so your race can stay on its regions and score as usual. A literal reading of the either-or wording disagrees, but the designer's and publisher's replies support staying put.
