How to get a casus belli against a country you don't border?
As England is there any way I can manufacture a casus belli against Morocco so I don't have to take the -2 stability hit when I declare war?
It's currently 1478, and after winning the HYW I'm looking to get a foothold in Morocco to act as a stepping stone for colonising Southern Africa and then jumping across to South America.
I've tried warning them; insulting them and Embargoing them. No luck so far.
I've also tried giving them a loan on the hope that they fail to pay it back.. No luck there either.
I could become the Papal controller and declare a crusade against them in the hope that I get dragged into the war by allying myself with Castile or Portugal (Morocco's catholic neighbours who will get an additional casus belli against Morocco due to the crusade). But that could take a while.

Another option to get an easy CB for England once it is Protestant is to take the first idea in the religious idea group; you are then free to declare war on most of Europe (if you play as a pagan nation, it gives you pretty much permanent CB against anyone).

Answer 2
The best way to get a cb against them would be the loan, but you mentioned it failed ( in which way? ) . Another way would be by enforcing peace . The easiest way would be to man up and tank that 2 stability hit .
Answer 3
I think it might be a way to make the enemy angry (e.g. by insulting) so he will impose an embargo on you. That will give you a causus belli (trade dispute).
Note that you lose causus belli if you embargo him at same time, remove your embargo to get cuasus belli "trade dispute".
