Epilouge

Remember this method is time consuming and slow, if you want a quick rise in reputation/relation just trade some unwanted land. However using an Aid Deal makes a steady rise that lasts for as long as you want if the AI doesn't cancel it, allowing you to reach levels such as very close with countries you've poor reputation/relation with.
Or you could just use freedom bombs.
