First of all you can't just say... "Oh this IP address doesn't ping, or doesn't get any results from nmap therefore I should be able to use it."
IP's are controlled and assigned to specific service providers. Those service providers assign you IP's based on your needs and contract. So I have a /29 network assigned to me on my VPS(Virtual Private Server). If I am only using 3 addresses currently, it doesn't mean the other 2 are "up for grabs," they are still MY addresses.
The gov/military owns Millions of IP's that are not currently being used. It's just how the world of public addressing works.
Find a service provider. Sign up for services through that provider. Get assigned IP's to use.
