	Goal	Key
	It is time to establish an institution that will confirm and enforce our monopolies on all maritime trade leaving India. The Casa da Índia will be the greatest commercial force in all of Asia.
	We need to establish a new institution that can supervise all the trade that is done with the New World, and that can contribute to an orderly colonization of these lands.
	The Caspian Sea has been a nexus of trade and cultural exchange for millennia, a link between east and west, north and south. Yet, we have been too long denied access to its wealth and opportunities. Now is the time for us to secure our rightful place on its shores and tap into the abundant riches it offers.
	A Raja cannot rule alone; effective government requires the support, or at least consent, of the most influential social and religious castes. To that end we must ensure the support of the priestly Brahmins, the honorable Kshatriya warrior castes, and the industrious Vaishyas.
	An offensive path is one way to victory, but we cannot neglect the importance of forts and castles. We should construct and maintain forts in key positions of our country so that no invading force can surprise us from an uncovered angle.
	After successfully pacifying the country, we have to decide the fate of the Catalan Nobility in the aftermath of the War of the Remences.
	Novgorod shall become renown as a realm where every city has a magnificent cathedral. No expense must be spared for the glory of God!
	As one of the few supporters of the Pope it is our duty to become the Catholic Bulwark in the north in order to combat the heresy.
	Although our cause is righteous, faith alone cannot provide us security and victory on earth. It is through the good works of allied princes that we are able to spread the Word of God.
	The Church needs strong defenses if it is to survive in these tumultuous times. We need to muster the largest army we can, with as many people as we can recruit.
	The Caucasus is home to many different religions and cultures, and is a natural extension of the Persian mountain range. We should claim these mountains for ourselves in order to bolster our defenses, as well as find new recruits for our army.
	Our conquest of Armenia has opened the way for our subjugation of the Caucasus, which is inhabited by weak tribes and disintegrating kingdoms. Albeit weak, the subjugation of Armenians and their revolts have shown us that controlling the region will be difficult, and so we must adopt measures to stabilize our rule over it by either accepting them as our equals or by showing them the light of Allah.

	The kingdoms of the Caucasus are rich in resources and strategic locations. We must establish alliances with these kingdoms, or bring them under our rule, to secure our position in the region.
	Thanks to our trade with the Muslim nations, we have now access to horses, a resource until now uncommon in our country. We must also form cavalry regiments, in the likes of the ones the Muslim countries have.
	Let our allies come to visit us and give them precious gifts, they will know our wealth.
	Despite our success in military and administrative matters, the question of our national identity is slowly formulating within the chambers of the royal residence. We must soon choose the path of our nation, be it of tolerance or supremacy of culture.
	India is a land of many cultures, faiths, and languages. We cannot hope to rule unless we adopt a cosmopolitan attitude.
	"Culture" and "our nation" go hand in hand. When an amir gets asked what is culture they will point to our our nation. When a scholar gets asked where the center of art is they will point to our capital.
	Our prestige and might, ingenuity and golden opulence in the eyes of the world, will surely lead to our great nation being dubbed the dominator of our era, the most illustrious of the great powers.
	If Lake Texcoco is the moon, then Tenochtitlan is the center of it. Tenochtitlan will soon be the center of the world, as it is the center of our Empire, an Empire that will conquer any civilization that dares oppose it. For that reason, Tenochtitlan must be the greatest city, one that the world will desire!
	Trade is the lifeblood of Indian nations. We must ensure that we control at least one city that can attract merchants from across the world.
	Wherever our gaze falls upon, there shall be commerce of inconceivable wealth. Our marketplaces are the centers of the trade of the world.
	We must continue to push back the Turks and reclaim more areas for the Roman Empire. Our rule must be re-established over the central parts of Anatolia both because it is our heritage and in order to properly defend the City of the World's desire itself.
	We have struck coal in Ayrshire! While its value may seem questionable now, this mundane-looking substance will surely fuel a new era in technology. We must prepare for this industrial revolution.
	The era of feudal vassals ruling their own autonomous domains must come to an end. We must rein in the landed nobles and consolidate our nation into a single nation.
	The times of local rulership must be gone and only a central power should retain the capacity of leading this nation. We will make sure that people administering the provinces of our realm respond to us directly.
	We are respected as a ruler, but we have to increase our might by centralizing the power around us and modernizing the ways we rule over our people.
	The old monarchy of the Negusa Nagast has proven to be a rigid system. While the principle of the itinerant capital has shown its effectiveness in keeping an area under control, it has also shown how decentralized - how powerless - the state actually is. We must reform the government and centralize the power if we want our empire to survive.
	For too long, the power has been divided among the Bur or the King and the different petty kings or chiefs of our realm. We need to recover all that lost power into the figure of our ruler.
	With matters of faith resolved to our satisfaction, we must look to securing the future of the Holy Roman Empire. For too long the Princes ruled autonomously, but now that the Empire is united we must bring every town and village completely under our control. Let none say that we are not Holy, Roman, or Empire!

Let no one say that we are not Holy, Roman, or Empire!
	Now that we have cavalry regiments, it is time to put them to use. We can use their superior maneuverability to quickly snatch the enemy's capital and utterly crush them. We shall do precisely that.
	An easy movement of both trades and people is essential to a nation's well-being. We must ensure that our merchants can freely circulate around our land by building some trails.
	There is an everlasting struggle amongst the Turkic elites in our military. They must be united in a struggle, but a struggle against our foes and our foes only.
	Though our monarchs formally claim the title of Chakravarti, or Universal Ruler, our proclamation will ring hollow until we rule all of Indochina.
	An ideal monarch rules an ideal realm, the material and spiritual center of the world. Majapahit shall become this realm.
	Since about the sixth century AD, the Pontic mountains of Chaldia have been known for their rich mineral deposits of lead, silver, and gold. For centuries, there were few attempts to mine them as the mountains are very inaccessible, but we should make efforts to open new mines in the mountains and extract these valuable raw materials for ourselves.
	We have long maintained a certain understanding with the Papacy. The Pope would not meddle in the affairs of our churchmen, and we would not meddle in the affairs of the Pope. These days, however, the Papacy has grown more assertive, even as our own power grows, and has begun involving itself in Church affairs across Europe. It is time for us to remind the Pope of our old arrangement, and check the Papacy's grasps at power.

	The Iberians constantly eye our trade and even our lands with clearly envious eyes. We must be ready to fend them off!
	The Royal Navy of the English is one of the most formidable powers on the sea. There is no chance for us to end their dominance in the North Sea as long as our own navy cannot match theirs. We should build more heavy ships and advance our knowledge in the arts of shipbuilding so we can face them in the near future.
	Our warehouses are full to the brim, our merchants are earning money faster than they can spend it - to keep up with our growing economy, we must expand our nation's commercial infrastructure.
	Although the wealth is plentiful in the Lübeck trade, our English naval neighbors make a fortune from their control of the English Channel. We should challenge their monopoly of the channel and earn our fair share of the Channel's wealth for ourselves.
	Ceremonial smoke carries our prayers to the attention of Wakan-Tanka and other superior beings; it elevates our words from the terrenal realm to the celestial one, trespassing the veil that separates them. It is for this reason that the use of the chanunpa, our sacred pipe, is restricted to ceremonial usages, such as celebrating new alliances.
	Tenochtitlan may be surrounded by water, but most of it cannot be consumed, so we must look for other ways to bring fresh water into the city. The Chapultepec Aqueduct which supplies the city with this fresh water, has seen a decline in recent years. Reinforcing it may help us secure this reliable source of water we need.
	In times immemorial, the Carolingian Kings ruled over the great and Holy Roman Empire. Their legacy has not been forgotten, and neither has their ambition. We must be crowned Emperor.
	During the reign of Charles IV, Bohemia enjoyed its golden age, holding the Imperial crown and being the uncontested ruler of the entire Empire. Honoring Charles IV's legacy involves enforcing his claims and reclaiming the Imperial crown for ourselves.
	Daring men, with true British grit, are seeking government support to chart the vast empty expanses of the southern oceans. Rumors tell of land there for the taking; we should make haste to establish a thriving colony, before others seize the opportunity.
