You already have hard coded alliances - the next step would be to hardcode 1 partner with an eta advantage similar to cluster eta (alliance/allies/universe type thing).

That way you always have dynamic politics even if the game becomes stagnant.

You cannot make it less effective - people will always find ways to abuse it until it is hard coded.
