恶名

恶名（游戏文件中称为badboy）是代表一个国家对其他国家的总体威胁的数值。当任何一个国家的恶名达到25或更高时，会引起世界上所有其他国家的关注，并可能有另一个国家对该国发起惩罚战争，以维持全球力量平衡。

These costs only occur outside of the Casus belli system, which determine infamy gains from the justify war action.

There are also several events and decisions that increase or decrease infamy.

POP Consciousness: When above 1.0 in the nation, this creates a modifier of +0.01 consciousness. (This can be modified in the static_modifers.txt file)
Great War: While in a great war, infamy costs for the "justify war" function are reduced to 33%

以下行为可以减少恶名

There are several "gamey" ways to reduce infamy:

A great power can sphere Colombia, build The Panama Canal which annexes a single province, and release Panama as a vassal
A formable country can release a nation in the same culture group just before it forms the nation and annexing it again. E.g. Sweden can release Norway and Jan Mayen just before it forms Scandinavia; Prussia can release Danzig before forming the North German Federation; NGF can remove an insane amount of infamy while forming Germany. It is however at the cost of 5 prestige per nation released.
Germany and Italy can release puppets to reduce the infamy. If their puppets are in their own sphere(for example, Lucca in Italian sphere) than the event will make the formable countries annex them free. This is unlimited, but at the cost of 5 prestige.
Since demand concession casus belli will cost less than 5 infamy，it is beneficial to annex a province with foreign cores and release said nation as a puppet For example, Annexing provinces from Oman and releasing Zanzibar, Zulu can release two puppets including Natalia, Panjab's Kashmir can release two countries.
If one gets an event that gives a free casus belli, one can take a province with a releasable nation and release it.
