	Perhaps the bravest thing a man can do is jump into the unknown, search for new lands, and conquer everything in their path. Many of our nobles and merchants are already preparing to set sail for land beyond the Pacific Ocean. Let us sponsor their wishes to explore what Terra Incognita has to offer to them.
	The land beyond the Atlantic Ocean holds many commercial and profitable opportunities! We must explore, map and take advantage of it as best we can, to further multiply our profits from exotic goods and new civilizations.
	The seas beyond our coasts are said to hold tremendous wealth and knowledge. We must map and explore them to the best of our ability.
	The explorations that we have promoted in the last decades have proven that the scientific theories about the rounded shape of the world were correct. Now we have the opportunity to become the first country to lead an expedition to circumnavigate the world, bringing great prestige to our nation.

	Consortiums of merchants such as the Heren XVII are keen to expand their portfolios and invest in overseas trade. If we supported the establishment of some sort of East India Company, the profits could be immense!
	The East Indies aren't the only source of fabulous riches abroad. There's more money to be made in the Transatlantic trades, which we could have if the government was willing to support a few key merchants...
	In the West, the sun rises. It signals the beginning of a new day, of a new cycle, where we must stay devoted to our beliefs. Our beliefs tell us to set sail west and find what lies in the beginning.
	The hordes to the north of Caucasus pose a mortal threat to our realm. We have seen the devastation that was caused by the Mongols, and so in order to prevent it, we must pacify the steppe nomads and secure our northern borders.
	The power of the our ruler is kept in by a Council of State and the Grand Vizier. No action of the our ruler was valid as long the Grand Vizier made an objection.\nWhile this style of government has its benefits for the estates, it is not optimal for any our nation which seeks to centralize the power to the ruler. We must ensure that the estates are just as much kept in check as our our ruler is.
	Chinampa farms are special farms on water islands, meant to further improve the cultivation of maize. By securing these farms, we can lessen the burden of our farmers, granting them more efficient land for cultivation.
	Friendship with China is vital to the survival of the Korean nation... at least in the short term.
	China is perhaps the most wealthy region our merchants have encountered. From tea, to chinaware, to any goods the Islamic world has a shortage of. By establishing an influence on their ports, we may be able to create a new company that will bring us profit beyond imagining.

	The ideals of chivalry and hospitality are worth preserving. We must stick to these guiding pillars and see to it that our court is renowned across Europe for its chivalric splendor.
	The Coast of the once-powerful Chola maritime empire is rich in exotic goods and bountiful harvests of the most eclectic goods. This wealth would surely propel our opulence to new heights.
	Our realm - the whole royal family as well as the aristocracy - is made up of devoted Muslims while the peasants and lower burghers are tribal heathens. In such a our nation the question of religious direction is more important than ever. We have to make a choice if we want to see inner stability prevail.
	The Pontic Steppes might not be inhabited by Pagans, but the Muslims living there are a threat to the Christian world. We must ride into the steppes and bring our crusade to the hordes!
	The rightful Church is in distress. Greatly anxious regarding the monarch's decision to enter a union with Rome, the clergy is highly upset, with many priests downright defying the emperor. The faith in the our dynasty dynasty must be restored.
	During our time of primitive worship of nature spirits and ghosts of ancestors we had no kind of house of worship. At best, we had shrines which were maintained by a shaman.\nThese times are fortunately over, and now it is our most important task to construct churches so that everyone of our people can get in touch with the Lord.
	In the southeastern corner of Anatolia, where the towering Taurus mountains meet the azure Mediterranean, lies the ancient land of Cilicia. This historic land was once home to a flourishing Armenian kingdom, the Kingdom of Cilicia, a beacon of Armenian culture and might. The time has come to rekindle the spirit of the Cilician Kingdom and repopulate this region with our people.
	The progress of man may not be hindered or stalled by the architectural deficiencies of our forefathers. To that end, let us erect and expand our urban centers to facilitate a growing demand for goods and living quarters.
	Diriyah is said to have been founded in the 15th century by one of the oldest known members of the Saudi dynasty. Founded in rough terrain, it would centuries later become the foundation of a powerful emirate that would rule Arabia.
	Our western border across the Maghreb is occupied by a series of weak Sultanates akin to Tunis. Despite being situated between several important cities, the rulers of Tunis have failed to protect their people.
	Tenochtitlan is perhaps one of the greatest cities in Mexico. Found on Lake Texcoco, it has been rapidly growing as the center of the City Alliance. Further expansions of the city will help us maintain our grip in the area.
	Continuing on the path to urbanize our nation, we must strive forward and found new settlements buzzing with merchant and peasant activity, as a symbol of our unstoppable and unquenchable growth!
	our nation has always been the heart of one of the world's most populated religions. As such, we must bring it under our banner and enjoy the effects of basking in the glory, as the conquerors of our nation!
	City of Sana'a is incredibly important in our history. Currently held by the Rassids, let us expel them from the city and develop it into a secondary, if not primary capital of the state.
	In the heart of our Rassid Realm is Sana'a, one of the most ancient cities of Yemen and the capital of the Imamate. Let us grow this city into a symbol of our resilience and faith, towering over the valleys of Yemen.
	Angkor Wat was once the most splendid temple in all the world, yet now it is in a state of decay. We should rebuild it.
	Taiz has been largely irrelevant in history of Yemen until the rise of the Rasulid Dynasty, which moved its capital there. In due time it has grown to be the most important city, prime for governance due to its strategic position and proximity.
	Constantinople, city of the world's desire, lies within our grasp. The siege will surely be long and arduous, but we must persevere. The city will be ours!

	It is not enough for our capital to be a great city. It must be the greatest city in the world, the seat of all temporal power.
	The last orders of the great prophet were to send forth the warriors of the faith to bring the Romans into the house of submission. We must do what no other Ghazi has done and conquer the city in the name of the Prophet.
	Ujjain is one of the holiest cities of India and was for a long time the natural capital of a united Rajput kingdom. It is time we renovate this once mighty city so that it can once again fulfill the role it was meant to have.
	Ever since we first established our independence from the Delhi Sultanate in 1347 we have faced a powerful adversary in the south. From their humble beginnings the Sangama family have expanded their domain on the southern shore of the Tungabhadra river to encompass almost all of Southern India.\nThe time has come to show our southern rivals that it is from our capital and not Hampi that this region will be ruled. It is time we reduce the 'City of Victory' - Vijayanagar, to rubble, and take our place as the rightful rulers of the Deccan.
	Once we have consolidated our rule over south India, we will adopt a new royal title and celebrate our victory.
	The Byzantine Empire is a mere husk of its former glory. Once rulers of the East from the Danube to the Nile, they are now nothing but a crumbling state sunk in internal conflicts. Their only stronghold, their great capital Constantinople, is all that is left of their power.\nToday, this city shall fall before the might of the Ottomans and become the grand jewel of the House of Osman and our new empire!
	Constantinople, the seat of Eastern Roman Empire, bears many names and nicknames. From Byzantium through New Rome, all the way to 'Queen of Cities', the most fitting nickname will always remain to be 'The City of World's Desire', which perfectly exemplifies the envy of the surrounding states.
	For many centuries, the ancient Persian empires and the Romans have been bitter rivals. Each empire has tried to dominate the other and claim their territories for themselves. As time passed on, so did both empires crumble to dust.\nHowever, unlike the Emerald Lion is once again ruling over the Zagros mountains while the Purple Phoenix is nothing but ash. It is time to finish what our ancestors started all those centuries ago, and claim the Roman capital for ourselves!
	The Yuan society is one built on martial training rather than complex governance. As such, we must make sure that any civil affairs in our nation are mixed with our military ones.
	With Mesopotamia under our firm control, it would be wise to expand our borders to the shores of the Persian Gulf, enabling us to bring wealth to the state by conducting naval trade.

	The Hohenzollern family of Ansbach and Bayreuth has claimed Brandenburg for itself. Their Brandenburg margraviate is but a poor imitation of our Franconian realm, despite their ill-disguised expansionist ambitions. We must bring these upstarts to the north into our domain!
	The Kings of France have often turned their greedy eyes towards Savoy. Now that our positions are reversed, it is time for us to claim our rightful place on their throne.
	The island of Hispaniola will be our gateway to the Caribbean and beyond. We must colonize the island and establish religious missions at Santo Domingo to spread the word of God throughout the New World.

	The noble families we invited to Bali still profess claims to their ancestral homes on Java. We should invade Java on their behalf and establish our rule there.
	The ancient city of Samarkand is the crossroad of Central Asia. As both a major center of commerce and a focal point for political legitimacy in the region, we must claim it for ourselves.
