We discuss a class of models in which CP is violated softly in a heavy sector adjoined to the standard model. Heavy-sector loops produce the observed CP violation in kaon physics, yielding a tiny and probably undetectable value for $\epsilon^\prime$. All other CP-violating parameters in the effective low-energy standard model, including the area of the unitarity triangle and $\bar\theta$, are finite, calculable and can be made very small. The leading contribution to $\bar\theta$ comes from a four-loop graph. These models offer a natural realization of superweak CP violation and can resolve the strong CP puzzle. In one realization of this idea, CP is violated in the mass matrix of heavy majorana neutrinos.
