	Extending our reach into California would be a natural extension of the borders of New Spain. Though unsubstantiated, there are rumors of virgin gold deposits in the region that we must secure, if indeed they exist.

	Beyond the sea lies a New World, full of opportunity. Some even whisper of a kingdom wealthy beyond measure, a golden state ripe for the picking. We should establish bases in those lands and profit how we can from what is discovered.
	Colder and harsher than the southerly lands, the territory of Canada is, nevertheless, ripe for exploitation. Exotic furs, wood and minerals are abundant in the snowy mountains.

	Cold. Harsh. Some might even consider it "uninhabitable". These are the lands of Scandinavia.\nAnd so are the lands in North America, the region of Canada. It is only logical that we seize Canada for ourselves.
	Our Explorers have opened up the vast untapped lands of Eastern Siberia. We must establish forts there to secure our control.

	The North American continent is full with opportunities for us. The magnificent, strange trade goods like tobacco will be of great value in our markets.
	The Southern Island is big but sparsely populated. We can set new communities that will make it prosper.
	The farthest reaches of the world produce wondrous spices, woven garments and exotic women. We should establish a presence here, for the benefit of our society.

	The island of Taiwan is sparsely populated by uncivilized savages, we should open these lands up for Chinese settlement.
	In order to stand strong, Japan must grow. The uncolonized island of Taiwan to the south seems like a good candidate.
	The southern tip of the continent is of vital importance if we want to control the flow of the trade going West. We must establish a permanent presence there from which to exert control over all trade.
	The East India Company require a settlement at the Cape of Africa, to act as a safe harbor and point of resupply for the journeys to the East. They are offering quite a sum if we oblige.
	The Cape of Good Hope is an important waypoint on the route to the East Indies. Establishing a station there and offering a safe harbor for our ships in the midst of the long voyage east is a prudent choice.
	The islands of the Caribbean offer lucrative opportunities for certain types of gentleman with the will to acquire them, and the labor to exploit them. We have exactly those types of gentlemen.

	The Caribbean islands are prime locations for new colonies. We must ensure that as many as possible fall under Portuguese rule.
	The Caribbean islands are in the center of the trade of the New World. We should colonize these isles to ensure that the goods of the New Worlds do not flow into the arms of the Iberians or the English.
	The Caribbean is the virtual center of trade of the New World. All paths eventually lead to the Caribbean and from there the trade flows into Europe. Whoever holds the Caribbean also holds the trade flow of two entire continents. Naturally, we must ensure that we are the ones who steer the New World's trade by colonizing these islands for ourselves.
	Africa is rich with invaluable goods such as ivory, dyes and of course gold. However, we are not the only ones who seek out to siphon these goods from Africa and funnel them into their own treasury. It would be wise if we establish colonies along the coast of West Africa so we control who gets access to these resources, and who will not.

	The Ivory Coast is an important center for wares from all of Africa. We have to estabish a foothold there so the goods cannot be accessed by our European rivals.
	The lands of the New World are ripe for Danish settlements. We should send some of our most adventurous people to this new continent and colonize them for the our Crown.
	This new world is filled with wonders beyond our imagination. We should invest our resources into colonizing it as fast as possible so we can benefit from its riches.
	The New World is full of opportunities and wealth which our our nation can certainly use. It is of great priority that we establish settlements in the New World.
	An immense New World to the west has been discovered! We cannot allow the Spaniards to claim it unopposed. Set sail for the New World!
	It appears that Africa is stretching further south than we first believed. Prester John's legendary Kingdom is surely close at hand; Africa surely can't be much bigger than this.

	The trade routes of West Africa are highly desired by our colonial rivals. What they fortunately forget is the gold in the inland parts of West Africa. It is unlikely that we can dominate the Africa trade, but a single port with a connection to the gold might be more than enough for us.
	We have started to drive the Tatars out of Siberia, to strengthen our hold on these regions we must establish forts so they can be brought into Russian control.
	We have started to drive the Tatars out of Siberia, but our hold on these regions is still weak. We must establish forts so they can be brought into proper Russian control.

	The Caribbean is the center of all trade in the New World. Goods from North and South America flow into, and get steered into Europe from there.\nWe must secure these islands for ourselves!
	The piratical slavers operating out of the North African coast are a constant menace to our coasts and our shipping. We must capture these corsair cities and end the threat they pose to innocent Christians.

	With the foreigners at our shores, our society is facing a major crisis. The main reason for that is the plethora of new diseases they brought with them which have led to much of our population dying. We must find a way to combat this new enemy.
	A promise of safe conduct is not binding when given to a heretic, the Emperor should have tried to burn Luther when he had the chance. Now his heretical teachings have spread into Italy, this must be stamped out.
	Traditionally our main trading partners have been from Arabia or Southern India. If we send out our merchants and create a strong presence in their own home markets, we will be able to negotiate from a more powerful position.
	One of the ladies in our capital has a... strange smile, something extraordinary difficult to capture in a painting. We need to recruit an extraordinarily talented figure in order to truly capture her expression. And, who knows? Maybe the person who can do justice painting her has other talents as well.
	The Strait of Hormuz is the entry of the Indian trade into the Middle East. Cotton, spices, silk, and dyes pass Hormuz to reach their destiny at the markets of Alexandria and Aleppo. We must get our own part of this trade, and control the strait.
	The Hansa is our greatest competitor in the Baltic Sea when it comes to the trade. We should end its dominance once and for all and become the new replacement of the Hansa.
	The trade in the Baltic is the lifeline of our beautiful city. Hundreds of merchants pass through our city to trade with Novgorod in the East or with the Holy Roman Empire to our west.\nThe Scandinavians, especially the Swedes, of course, are not too fond of our presence in the Baltic Sea however, and try to block us from the Ducats flowing into the Baltic Sea. They will have to learn that it is our city which connects West and East.
	The Berber fleets have been permitted free reign over the mouth of the Mediterranean for too long. It is time we showed them the prowess of the Portuguese Navy.

	Regardless whether we are part of the Reformation or its greatest adversary one thing is sure: the conflict between our brethren must end one way or another!
	Although we may have created an Italian state, our work is not yet done! There are still Italians our there who cry out to be reunited with their brothers. We must liberate all of our people from foreign rule!
