The Nashville Number System is really about specific tone/chord positions, The roman numerals represent the 'tones' position within a scale and each tone represents a chord. A 'major tones/chord' will fall on the 1st(I.), 4th(IV.) or 5th(V.) position, At the same time the 'minor tones/chords' will always fall on the 2nd(II.), 3rd(III.) or the 6th(VI.)... and the diminished chord always falls on the 7th(VII.) tone of a key...
The (I. - II. - III. - IV. - V. - VI. - VII.) represents the seven tones of each key and '1'2'3'4'5'6' represents each chord within that key, When someones say 'one three five' then it can mean a chord which would be a basic triad(135) or a chord progression (I. C major, III. E minor, V. G major)...

(sus-x) chords use the power chord as the base on all positions
except for VII., The diminished chord is the only one that does not turn
into a power chord when you remove the third... |

The only time the basic 'major and minor chords' do not neatly overlap is when they are extended or modified, This goes back to where the "G major 7th" in the Key of C and the "G major 7th" in the Key of G use different shapes - With the Nashville Number System you are identifying a specific chord therefore a "V Major 7th" in the Key of C uses the same shape as the "V Major 7th" in the Key of G...
