"Backstabbing" brings excitment to the game. It is an extra factor to take into consideration. It is also fun to feel that knife hanging back there and you have to judge when to pull back or turn on your ally.

Alliances can bring great benefits, but it should be counter balanced by greater risks as well. It gives the lone wolf a better opportunity to survive. It should reduce alliances between top ranked players in a game i.e. #1 should be aware that #2 may backstab (do a Pearl Harbour) to win if they were so aligned, but it is less likely if #1 and #6 were so aligned.

There is also a difference between violating a trust versus terminating NAPs on short notice (i.e. 1 turn). You do not necessary need to violate an agreement to backstab i.e. give notice when ex-ally's fleet to off in Never Land.

I would almost require backstabs in the games. If I were host (which I have never been), I would have a rule governing agreement termination i.e. 1 turn notice or termination on notice.
