Re: A novice question about MP.
I wouldn't go anywhere near as far as saying " when you see one past around turn 5, be suspicious." I never offer NAPs to nations I haven't even found yet. Rarely if we don't share a border or expect to shortly share one. Nor have I gotten many offers from distant nations.
So a NAP offer later in the game means: "Hey, looks like we're going to be neighbors. Are you willing to be peaceful or do you want to fight?"
