Best ways of lowering infamy short of event cheating?

[Down with Orrix]

So i'm interested in mass mass expansion of a state in VIctoria 2 but managing infamy is dififcult as you only will lose 125-ish infamy without events over the course of a game. Is there any way to make CB generation less likely to be discovered? Ways to reduce infamy that doesn't really hurt the global empire etc

Without events (regardless of a cheat event or normal event caused by raising tension or jingoism), there is really no normal way to lower infamy faster, especiallyif you try to accquire land in the highly status quo area like Europe and South America.

So, an alternative to accquire land without accumulate high infamy is to attack unciv nations in asia and africa

You can also release nations, that reduces Infamy by 5 (even if its just one province). If you really wanna exploit it, you can abuse the National Unification decision like for Prussia for that. Massively expand Prussia, release a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of 1 Province Minors in Northgermany etc., form the North German Federation (you get all that stuff back) and proceed the same over again with forming Germany (dont forget you get Austria for free when you have them in your sphere)

But really, high infamy isnt that bad. The AI is just not really dangerous if you are a Great Power yourself and while it can be annoying that your conscioussness is raising really fast nonstop due to high infamy, its completely manageable.
