You have to be explicit when asking for agreements between nations; if you are not, I think it's best to expect the lowest common denominator... as an example:

Jotun sends his in-game war declaration on turn 20, you recieve it turn 21, you quickly send bribes turn 21, he recieves them turn 22, he sends attack orders and owns your province by turn 23. 23-20=3... Sounds like three turns' notice, though obviously he is at the advantage. Too short a time? Extend it to 6 turns.

Thing is, breaking it down further would be cumbersome, considering you may have to make several NAP's during a game. I'll give you a little template if you like on what I've seen work:

Greetings from Tartarus:

We would like to assure the stability of our current borders by forming a Non-Aggression Pact between our nations, during which we do not attack the other without three turns' prior notice. Unless extended, this agreement will expire on Turn 30. We will send information on ordered attacks on provinces that may conflict with your attacks, and hope that you will do the same so we can avoid accidental conflict.
