One of the first things you will learn in CN is that unaligned nations, especially those with low NS, are basically target practice for tech raiders.
If you want peace, join an alliance or at least join the red team.
Joining a large alliance will ensure you protection and support, but you may find yourself feeling like little more than a cog in a machine.
Small alliances offer greater fellowship, but lack the security of their larger counterparts.
Since you are concerned about war, you should consider the MDP status of any alliance you might join. The current MDP web can be found here: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=19234
