In my interpretation, the majority of people are saying that NAP are breakable with consequences lasting only the length of the game. Personally, if someone broke a non-agression pact with me, I'd be ticked in the short term, but wouldn't bother to remember it into the next game under most circumstances.

One thing is to say not to mix game with reality and not to carry over grudges in reality. And I obviously agree with this.
One other thing is not carrying over from a match to the other the feeling of untrust caused by betrayal. Very often, if one breaks a nap without previous warning, he seriously cripple the ex-allied. Is very proobable his ex allied will lose badly. I think nobody can say he will not take ower the distrust feeling on the traitor in the next game. It's beyond the rational.
And, to walk on the (for me unappropriate) parallel with history, I've not said that I will enforce my allies to keep the nap, I can not enforce anyone anything. I have only said that the player will be horror marked for a big time to come. I don't think Hitler & Stalin would have made another alliance if they both survived. The only condition would be the overthrow of one of them. Nation can do repeated peaces, but Pretender Gods (= leaders) tend to carry on serious grudges. I'm a Pretender, not a population.
