	While we call the north our home, it is true that the weather and the climate is not the greatest to mankind. Fortunately for us there are the isles of the Caribbean, which would be perfect places for our people to recover from the unending winters.\nIt also has the additional bonus to serve as the hub of the trade in the New World, but that is mostly a bonus.
	Outright conquest is not the only way to rule. It is sometimes wiser to rule indirectly by establishing vassal states to administer the land for us. We should establish a state and ensure that it becomes prosperous.
	Our our ruler is within our society a proper monarch already. In the eyes of these pale men we are however "barbarians"; tribes people. Of course these people have no idea about our culture, but as long they don't see us on the same eye height we will not be able to learn of their technology and ideas they bring.
	The Prussians, once knights of the Teutonic Order, have skilled military and statesmen. Their administrative skills as well as their ability to raise highly disciplined soldiers are well known.\nWe are connected by our common history as former knightly orders as well as German states which made the Baltics their home.
	With the conquest of Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia our our nation has reached its absolute height, which even overshadows the Holy Roman Empire.\nStill though, much of our land is rather underdeveloped. We should expand the infrastructure of our country so we are not only in size larger than the Empire, but also in quality! Let us form our own our Empire!
	Now that we have reclaimed Sardinia and made a show of our naval strength, a choice lies before us: Should we continue the war with the Spanish, attempt to evict them from Italy completely and assert control of the Iberian coast; or should we rather make peace with them and seek their friendship so that we can focus our attention elsewhere, safe in the knowledge that we are safe from their depredations?
	Our domains stretch across the map, and our competitors have been humbled. It is time we acknowledge that we are the true and sole inheritors of Rome's greatness.

	The Hundred Years' War was one of the final wars in Europe where knights had shown true chivalry and honor in combat. As time went on, the ideas of chivalry faded into non-existence.\nOr so it would be if it was not for us. We must stick to these guiding pillars and see it renewed within our court and our army.
	The Papal plight must be expunged from our home region. No Catholic settlement shall remain in Scandinavia!
	No nation is respected if there is not a powerful army defending it. We will draft the best men in our lands and create a mighty army that will make everyone think twice before angering us.
	The Holy Roman Empire will never be totally free from ridicule until its borders do indeed include the city of Rome.

	We may be of Greek origin, but much of our aristocracy has major connections to the families in Russia. It may be best if we use these connections to secure new allies, but it may also be worthwhile to use them in order to claim the land for ourselves.
	Any respectable confederacy of pirates must have a flagship, and a captain worthy of commanding it.
	Following the words of Thomas Barrow we shall develop our free haven and create a pirate republic worthy of being called 'a second Madagascar'.
	Before we can stake a claim to any great swathes of land in Germany, we must first demonstrate to the Princes that we are a force to be reckoned with.
	While we seek to increase our influence beyond our borders, we must not neglect our internal affairs at home and instead actively work towards a balanced and meritocratic process within our administration.
	Our our nation is relatively young compared to many monarchies around us. They already overcame internal issues; achieved security and prosperity. If we want to compete with them then we have to make sure that we enjoy stability.
	Our origins are not from the Persian region but from the untamed steppes of Central Asia. As such, the horse is not only a tool to maneuver, but a core pillar of our society. We must ensure to not forget it.
	It is crucial that we discover the wonders of the New World. Land we don't have maps for is hard to colonize after all.
	Our ability to compete as a Great Power wedged between a host of potential threats is dependent on our ability to scrape every last bit of wealth from our lands.

	We must reform the state so that it is ready to face any obstacle unshaken.

	Osman's sons control a vast empire which has managed to penetrate deeply into the heart of Europe, now even threatening the seat of the Romans. It is in our best interest to tirelessly work on preserving our alliance.
	Our state has become tarnished by war and depopulation. Constant civil wars and conflicts have depleted our most invaluable asset - population. Let our lands be devastated no more and let the vacant homes not be empty any longer.
	our nation is a jewel to our prestigious crown. As such, we must make sure that it is polished and its beauty matches our legitimacy and strength!
	The Classic Maya are believed to have dwelled predominantly within great cities of Southern Maya Lowlands with their kings serving also as guarantors of Gods' favor and their priests. It is only natural that they are known for their great religious monuments. But as the Maya began migrating out of those cities, the society has become a lot more commerce and trade focused, placing the importance of religion and monuments lower than their classic counterparts.
	Our main trading partners are far away from us. By building ships we can sail to their shores instead of waiting for them to come to us and set the conditions for selling ourselves.
	The fall of the Byzantine Empire is not the end of the true Roman Empire. We are its successful, by Allah chosen, continuation. As such, it is our legitimate and divine right to rule over the former heartland of the Roman Empire: the great city of Rome itself!
	The Reformation in Europe has split the Western church in half. As a result, many countries are facing religious turmoil. Instead of fighting each other for petty reasons like these, let us set aside our differences.
	Rumors tell about continents with unbelievable treasures and ancient civilizations. We must break through the fog of the unkown, and see if any of these rumors are true.
	Italy is a large peninsula, surrounded by vast waters and many other naval powers. Without a respectable fleet of our own, we would be defenseless against naval blockades and invasions. We must construct a fleet to defend our lands and our glories.

	We must forge the Holy Roman Empire into a large territorial state within which we represent a strong, centralized authority able to enforce a monopoly on violence - then, and only then, will we live up to Friedrich III's motto: Austriae est imperare orbi universo (all the world belongs to Austria).

	Powerful allies may be useful, but if we want to become a powerful ally of our own we must show the world that our nation is not afraid of the dragon.
	The Roman Empire has a history of centuries full of feuds with the Persians over supremacy in Mesopotamia and Caucasia. Let us move in and deal a decisive blow to their ambitions and pride, forever thwarting their plans for lands west of the Zagros Mountains. They need to be humiliated!
	The Turkomen pose the most imminent threat to our independence. It is time we put them in place and show them what the bloodline of Saladin is capable of.
	Iraq has acquired renown in the Muslim World for the local scientific developments made during the time of times of the Abbasid Dynasty. The principal symbol of that prosperity is the House of Wisdom, the most impressive library and intellectual center Dar Al-Islam has seen to date.
	The Persian region was once a significant part of the Abbasid Caliphate which ruled over the Muslim World with grace and might. As invaders marched through Persia and the Caliphate was challenged by internal struggles, the Abbasid Dynasty stopped existing as a political entity entirely.\nIt is time to claim their mantle for ourselves and unite its territories under our banner.
	The hierarchical system of our nation is based on Mestnichestvo, an overly complicated and outdated structure which hinders the selection of official positions based on merit. It is a poison in our society and must be abolished.
	The serfdom had its use, but now it is hindering us to advance to a new, industrialized era. The peasantry needs to be freed from the maws of the Nobles and the Burghers.
	The villein labor service has proven its worth in the past. However, it is outdated. No longer adequate for a our nation of our prestige, it is time to replace this system by promoting copyhold tenure.
	The world is changing, and so does our place too. The Europeans have brought new ideas. Not all of them are practical for us, but the concept of absolutism is one worth pursuing. It is in direct conflict with old traditional ways of state government, but our people saw the advancements the Europeans have achieved under this guide line.\nWe should embrace this concept and implement the absolute rulership in our realm too.
	Our power cannot be unmatched until we do control at least half the country effectively.
	We must integrate Ayutthaya into our nation so that we will once again be the dominant Siamese state.
	Even many years after the fall of Timur his empire remained a goal and the dream of his descendants. Abu Said came closer to realizing the re-unification of that empire but eventually he fell in what our ancestors call the great disaster of Iraq-Ajemi.\nLet us pick up this fallen mantle and reach further than those that came before us. We are the Gurkani, heirs to the great conquerors and fearful of no living men.
