Depending on your race the reason for starting at the very bottom of the Treaty Options is
I belive most Culture types get a happyness bonus from each treaty you make.
May not be worth it when weighed agaist lost trade.

In PBW, many games require that no wars exist before victory can be claimed, so it serves a purpose there too.
Actually, no. There has to be a positive (green text) treaty between every pair of players in order to have a peace victory condition.

Otherwise, the game would end on the first turn, since everybody has a "none" treaty with everybody else at that time.

"No wars" would not be the only victory condition. Something like "200% of second place player, no existing wars, after 100 turns" is very common. There are innumerable variations that could include the "no wars" factor. As you stated, victory conditions of only "no wars" would end the game on turn one.

Except of course, that they don't.

It's funny to read his own first message posted on the forum. (What silly questions you can ask when you are a newbie) At this time, there was no newbies FAQ thread !. The Mo2 legacy can also be clearly seen behind some questions...
