If a country inflicts a peace treaty on you, you cannot break it.
The best you can do is to Avoid Influence on that country and hope
that either he decides to attack you during the current season or
that your resistance gets high enough to immunize your country come
next peace years.

Aggravating?  If playing a great power certainly, Nemedia held off my
Aquilonia for three war seasons with peace, but finally I got a court
strong enough in diplomacy and then goodbye Nemedia (short warseason,
and lots and lots and lots of mercenaries and allies that let me get in
Nemedia's backdoor).

OTOH, playing the stereotypical small country with great diplomats is
actually possible in this game as decisions of war and peace are not
exclusively the opposing player's due to the peacing mechanism.  As Kusan,
I managed to peace my neighbors and their neighbors (and in one particularly
long war season, every active player and the NPK next to me) just to be sure.
