NRDS, and indeed NBSI, are meaningless terms in of themselves. There may well be those who call themselves NRDS, but if they set everyone red then it's hardly in the spirit of peace and co-operation. UK is likely the worst case of this, but SF and CVA also share similar faults. There are NBSI alliances that are more aimed towards peace and co-operation than some who claim to be NRDS.
You certainly need a greater foundation than these RoE to define a true movement within New Eden.

As have been discussed several times previously in this thread already, maintaining an NRDS policy is much more than just a RoE policy. It is a philosophy towards live, that one does not attack neutrals and strangers per default. I agree that some of the dominant NRDS groups are not perfect, but fact remains, they aim to act peacefully by default. NBSI aims to act with agression per defualt. I would think this is apparent, that it is more than a RoE. In a very broad sense I would even dare to be so bold to say that NRDS and NBSI is the same as order and chaos, good and evil, love and hate.
I don't agree with the NRDS=Order/good and NBSI=chaos/evil as a given fact. It's not quite that simple. A lot more of New Eden was red to me while I was in a NRDS alliance than when I was in the NBSI/NRDS(in empire) northern coalition. And lets face it, the north is the biggest group of orderly carebears out there. The northern holdings make empire space looks positively hostile.
But certainly, I will not attack any without reason. Even with my enemies I tend to allow them the honour of the first shot. Unless it's Jade, of course ;)
