	Goal	Key
	The powerful kingdom of Bohemia is a threatening presence on our borders. However, the borderlands of Lusatia and the Erzgebirge have attracted many settlers from Saxony and other parts of Germany. If we can defeat the Bohemians, they will surely be happy to accept their new our overlords.
	A heated debate is raging amongst our elite. Until now, we have been respecting the authority of the Abbasid Caliphs, but some are demanding that we should claim the Caliphate for ourselves, as this would solidify our position as the true leaders of Islam. We must address this situation at once.
	The Christians have been showing an unsettling interest in the isles to the west and the ocean beyond. We should seize these isles and discover what has so excited the Christians.
	Originally nothing but a kingdom in a contest for power with France, the Angevin Kingdom is nowadays so much more. The entirety of France and England is in our possession, and as such the mere title of "King" is no longer adequate to our glory.\nWe shall assume the title of "Emperor" of the Angevin Empire!
	For as long as Jerusalem is dominated by the Saracen, a dark cloud shall loom over the name of Christendom. To reclaim the heartlands of Christ is the ultimate salvation - and our rise to make this reclamation shall prove an everlasting testimony of tireless faith. The Holy City must belong to us.
	Hungary and Bohemia have previously been united under a single King, being separated only in 1439 with the death of Albert the Magnanimous. We should restore this rightful state of affairs.
	We must re-establish the Mongol Khanate at the old capital of Qaraqorum. From there we will call a Kurultai and demand that all of the tribes recognize our authority.
	The Mandate is not easy to keep, and the Ming have shown that they are not worthy of holding it. It is time for a new Emperor and a new dynasty to take the throne.
	We must take the fight to the Tatars of the Golden Horde. We must plant the banner of Russia in their steppe heartlands because it all belongs to Mother Russia.

	The County of Tirol once belonged to the Duchy of Bavaria, a claim which we only dropped in 1369. We should revive this claim and end the Habsburg occupation of the County.
	Trade flowing through our country, as well as that flowing westwards through all the coast is a great source of wealth if we can control it. We should completely dominate this trade and at the same time direct all the surrounding trade towards us if we want to reap the maximum benefits.
	Now that we have solidified our grasp on our home region, all that is left is to unite all Westphalians into one nation! By claiming the province of Westfalen, we will prove that our nation is the rightful home of all Westphalians.
	Orkney, Shetland, and Mann are the last of the nearby isles that elude our rule. Though currently held by the kings of England and Norway, we must watch for a chance to incorporate them into Scotland.

	A great deal of Aragonese territory was once ruled by our nation. By force or by cunning, we must make it ours once again.

	There are landed titles in south-western France that we have hereditary claims upon. We should secure this region militarily so that our claims will be taken seriously.
	The Crown of Aragon has a claim on the Duchy of Athens, which now finds itself imperiled by the Turkish onslaught. Athens, and indeed the Greek people more broadly, would benefit from the return of our protection.

	Our expansion into the Indian Ocean and our control over the Persian Gulf has brought to a situation where a clash with the Ottomans, the hegemon of the Middle East, is inevitable.
	The Delta region is filled with thick jungles that impede our ability to cultivate the land. The frontier settlements of Sufi mystics offer an opportunity to clear away parts of the jungle.
	Our lands have been apt for agriculture since people started working them, but if we want to handle more population living in our territory, we need to put in place some clearings of the forest and jungles, and some irrigations in our river valleys.
	Workshops across our provinces are famed for the quality of their cloth and string. Various techniques and local artisans lend their expertise to create some of the finest garments known to Europe.
	The coast of this new world holds wonders beyond all imagination. Bring enlightenment to the peoples thereof, and seek out what riches lie within. To fully exploit this region, we must establish a sizable colony.
	The dawn of the 18th century saw an increased shift towards maintaining a robust naval presence. To achieve that goal we must attend to our naval infrastructure needs.
	The waters surrounding the Faroes and Iceland are rich with cod. Having already seized the Orkneys and Shetlands, a monopoly on North Atlantic fishing is within our grasp.
	While we are not as strict with the legal code of the Islam compared to other Muslim empires, it is still essential to codify the philosophies and ideas of Sufism in our realm.
	The fiqh is the human understanding of the sharia, the religious laws which form the traditions of the Islam. Our faith plays a crucial role in our society and government. We shall codify the fiqh and implement it as one of the pillars of our government.
	The greatest Maya state of our times - the League of Mayapan led by the Cocom family has finally collapsed. This force was used to keep their subjects loyal through coercion and imprisoning royal families in the city of Mayapan.
	With our support of the merchants and loans provided to the manufacturers, it is high time we collected the interest on them. We reap what we sow, and we are about to feast on the fruits of our labor.
	The Incan economy was not alike their counterparts in the old world. There was no concept of a coin, the citizens instead paid their tax in labor, toiling for the state by making items for the state or serving in the army.
	All natives of Siberia must pay a tribute of furs to the Tsar. Our colonization of Western Siberia must be completed so that the reach of our yasak collectors is extended.
	Scotland lacks a comprehensive, universal justice system. We should ensure that all Scots are ruled by the same laws through a single centralized institution.
	The world is ever changing, and we have to adapt to these new circumstances. The great powers of Europe are taking their eyes from Europe and prey upon the lands which have yet to be discovered. The Medieval times are nothing but a fading dream. The Time of Colonialism, on the other hand, is ahead - and we shall be one of the firsts to benefit from it.
	A new era is at hand. The time of medieval warfare in Europe is fading while the great powers look for new lands in the west to extend their power.\nWe cannot allow us to fall back just because of our position in the Baltics!
	The world is changing. The old times of medieval clashes are fading while a new era of expansion on a global scale is near. We should prepare ourselves for the future ahead.
	The world is at the edge of a new era. Our neighbors are discovering landmasses beyond the Atlantic Ocean, or finding trade routes to India around Africa. They are gathering wealth and power while we are stuck in the North. We cannot allow us to slack behind all the other great powers. It is time that we set colonial ambitions of our own!
	The glory of France demands that we are the greatest nation in Christendom. Our explorers are seeking royal patronage to go voyages of discovery in the East.

	With our colonies set up in Europe and the governors there being loyal to our rule, we have started to more efficiently use the land there. We, however, still have ways to go before we can ensure that the people there do not rise up in opposition. An expansion of our new colonial system would be beneficial.
	There is so much land around us, with little population and infrastructure that it would be a pity not to make it ours. We shall send our people to develop it.
	Our quest to monopolize the fur trade takes us even further eastward. It is time to set sail for the shores of the Americas and establish a colony in Alaska, where new opportunities for fur will be abundant.

	The lands of America appear to be rich in resources such as fur, cotton and a whole new stimulant called "tobacco". We should establish new settlements on this continent as soon as possible in order to profit from these goods.
	We have expanded ourselves to distances and lands never before imagined. We must go still even further, to the mysterious Southern Lands that we had heard about and that are clearly within our reach.
	The fertile land in Brazil would be an excellent place to begin a new colonial venture. We must not tolerate Iberian interference in this region of 'New Holland', however.
	Brazil is a land of wealth and wonder. It would be wise for us to colonize these lands, or take them if someone made the mistake of colonizing lands we are interested in.
