The space between your navigation and blue text field is from collapsing margins. You'll need to remove the margins created by your <p> element in .top, more on Collapsing Margins.

If you need the text vertically centered as well, you can use relative positioning and translate.

Other Notes

  • <text> is not a valid HTML element, use <p>, <span>, <div>, <a> etc. instead. I switched it to an <a> in my answer.
  • I see that you're using percentage heights. Those can be tricky. In order for percentage heights to work a height has to be set on the parent element. If that parent element's height is a percentage, then it's parent needs a height set. So on and so forth all the way to the root element <html> if percentages are used. In my answer I switch the heights to px values.
  • A number of block level elements (<div>, <nav>) had width: 100%; applied to them, I removed them as they're not needed. A block level element will always take up 100% width of it's containing element by default.
  • To vertically center your navigation items I set the line-height of the <a> elements equal to the height of the <nav> element.
  • I removed your .container element as it wasn't doing anything useful. You might need it later (likely in a different location) if you decide to add media queries and limit it's width for various viewport sizes.

body {
  margin: 0px;

.nav {
  height: 45px;

  padding: 0 20px;
  text-decoration: none;
  line-height: 45px;
  color: white;
  float: right;
}
.nav a:hover {
  background-color: #1E90FF;
}
p.center {
  position: relative;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);

This is because p element has natural margins (defined by browser). Remove it:

p {
  margin-top: 0;
}

Then remove the p horizontal padding and center your text with

text-align: center;

In order to remove the blank area on the right side of the screen.

p {
  margin-top: 0;
  text-align: center;
}

.container {
  max-width: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  display: inline-block;
}
html,
body {
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
}
.nav {
  height: 5%;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: white;
}
.top {
  height: 40%;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #1E90FF;
}
.nav {
  background-color: #444;
}
.nav a {
  display: inline-block;
  background-color: #444;
  font-family: Arial;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  text-decoration: none;

.nav a:hover {

.logo {
