Non Aggression Pact, generally used by Libertarians to describe their beliefs of high individual freedoms and low government involvement in their lives. I don’t mess with you, you don’t mess with me is the most basic NAP.
The non-aggression principle (NAP), also called the non-aggression axiom, is the legal or moral rule that states that any person is permitted to do everything with his property except aggression, which is in turn defined as the initiation of forceful action, which is in turn defined as ‘the application or threat of’ ‘physical interference (property breach) or fraud (contract breach)’, any of which without consent. The principle is also called the non-initiation of force. The principle incorporates universal enforceability.
The non-aggression principle is a central idea in libertarianism, and minarchism and a fundamental principle in voluntaryism, anarcho-capitalism (legitimate force theory) and international law, namely just war theory

Principle, not pact. It’s more unilateral than “pact” would imply.
Sorry for a reddit link, and the subreddit too, but this is the funniest post regarding the NAP I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/3ucp8y/i_was_beat_up_by_left_anarchists_in_greece/
Wow, like…shitty that a kid was “beat up”…but he’s still a fascist…

It’s a magic spell that you cast which prevents warlords from claiming your property after the government is abolished.
