I think if you're going to play a game where the only kind of agreement is a NAP and it cannot be violated, you should state that beforehand.

Like if anyone announces a NAP they have to do it in public on the forum and if they break it they are simply turned AI and kicked from the game. That way you can have your games where diplomacy is as simple as NAP or not.

I'd also like to see some national roleplay games, where people should act in accordance with their nation - so Pangaea and Marverni are more likely to get along than Pangaea and Abysia, where Pythium and Ermor squabble but can on and off ally or fight etc.

That way if you agree to peace with a neighbour who is similar to you (say Man and Ulm or something) you can reasonably expect them to stick to the peace unless there's some incident. If you're bordering LA Ermor you can reasonably expect them to try and keep coming at you like the terminator.
