Few basic tricks:
- the 'send support' mission (forget the actual wording) can't be refused and gives you a small boost - repeat twice a year and it adds up. The only potential cost is that you are notionally committed to backing them in a war but you can opt out
- trade helps, simply buying their goods pays off over time
- your tariff rates have an impact, if they are low then people come to like you
- a good war can help ... if you don't use up the warscore at the end then that is added back to your diplomatic relations.
