	Nestled between the Garjats and the Bay of Bengal the eastern coastline of Orissa is perhaps not as rich or wealthy as Coromandel further south. Local rulers have made it their business to house Bengali land owners and potentates on the run from Mughal justice.\nWe cannot allow such insolence, we must restore order in Orissa.

	Yemen stands as the crossroad between Arabia and Africa. They are also producers of some of the most famous coffee in the world. They are but enemies to us however, and they need to be dealt with. We will conquer them like we've conquered the rest of Arabia.

	Zanzibar Island is in many ways optimally positioned to control the Swahili coastline. Let us invade and seize this island as a stepping stone to controlling the entirety of the East African market.
	The Islamic faith is spreading rapidly throughout Nusantara. We should learn more about this faith and consider whether it is right for us.
	The lands of Asia Minor are at the very core of the Empire where the Sultan draws the large percentage of his resources. After Timur's crushing defeat of our forces a few decades ago many of the local Beyliks have regained their strength and independence. We must consolidate our hold over Asia Minor and reclaim what was lost.
	The Iranian plateau has hosted many ancient civilizations and is the core of any Persian empire of note. We must ensure that the entire area is under our control and evict any brigands or foreign rulers, ensuring the safety of the great Persian cities.
	Maghreb is a large region and has many valuable resources. We should expand our influence in this area and conquer the remaining provinces for our benefit.
	Our struggle has merely begun! As we strive to subjugate China, we must consolidate our domain in the Northern territories, the heartland of a former dynasty.
	Our Westphalian provinces are isolated from the cities of Cologne and Bonn. We should enlarge our territories, so that they are no longer divided.
	The time has come to put all our hard work to build a viable military machine to the test. We must rise to be the true hegemon of our region, respected and feared by all.
	Ever since the last days of the Saffarid dynasty, the region of Persia has always been in foreign hands. Turks and Mongols have dominated the political nature of Persia.\nThe time has come to overthrow these invaders, to unify Persia, and to consolidate it under our banner.
	The Russian lands are divided into many independent Principalities. The Princes must all be united under our rule.
	Russia is split in many weak and petty princes. None of them are worthy of being the ruler of the East Slavic people. The heirs of Rurik must bend their knee before the might of our nation name.
	The Russian lands are divided into many independent Principalities. The Princes must all be united under our rule.
	Now that our own house is in order, we should look to our Crown Lands. Silesia has always been a part of our realm, and it is about time they enjoyed full status within our society.
	We must ensure that the alliances between the Cantons are strong and secure, so that the Confederacy can function as a united front against external threats.
	In order to control the Persian Gulf trade more effectively, it is required to establish further bases of operation on both the Arabian and Persian sides of the Gulf.
	Although our presence in the Horn has been clearly increased, there are still parts of it that we don't control. We should eliminate all opposition so that we can clearly claim dominion over the whole area.
	Our future survival, let alone expansion, will depend greatly on the stability of the state. We must raise a force of professional soldiers and establish our administration before looking too far beyond our borders.
	Though we have defeated many of the most threatening hordes, we can further improve our strategic position in the Steppes. Let us consolidate in the region and subjugate any remaining nomads.

	Whilst the lands of the Urals are not fit for a horde, it is home to many of the Tatars and was an integral part of the Golden Horde. Let us conquer this land of forest and snow.
	The West African region appears to be larger than expected. We cannot stop yet though as we are so close to consolidating it.
	Central Arabia is home to many hostile tribes, all much more accustomed to desert warfare than us. However, what they lack is the wealth to oppose us. Our gold will buy a thousand warriors, and with a thousand warriors we shall subdue them.

	The corsairs of Tunis shall be feared throughout the Mediterranean Sea; but first we must construct a fleet of light ships to begin raiding coasts and privateering enemy trade.
	With wealth pouring into our markets, the port facilities are starting to look under-dimensioned. Our architects have drawn up plans to build a massive harbor crane they are calling the Krantor. Although its construction would be expensive, it would be a great help to our traders as it would allow us to load and unload ships with much greater efficiency. We should see to it that these plans become reality.
	The great strength of the Maghreb is its vast stretches of coastline and many natural harbors. We must construct a fleet and prepare a series of raids like nothing seen in the Mediterranean before.
	The Zimbabwe Empire used to have a flourishing trade relation with the Asians from the far east. But it was a very one-dimensional trade relation as the merchants had to come to us.\nThis is no longer a valid trade strategy though. Sofala has shown us that trade can only flourish for those who rule the waves. As such we have to adapt to these new circumstances and construct a trade fleet of our own.
	It is said churches are the house of God, but cathedrals are the patent show of our faith. For the greatest glory of our Lord, we shall construct cathedrals in our land!
	The Mongols and Timurids caused unimaginable destruction upon their enemies, and Persia was no exception to their warmongering. As the lands are now under our control, it is time to restore the former glory of the Persian architecture, and restore the destroyed great buildings.
	Developing a large trade network will surely grant us immense wealth and power. Despite that, it will surely mean that we will rub elbows with competitors and rivals both in the markets and in the fields. To protect our people and our profits, we must defend the heart of the Hansa!
	An imposing army requries a strong economy. We should build manufactories in our country so that our economy can keep pace with the growth of our forces.
	Although our cities are founded by the Hansa, they lack the capabilities to be a real competition with Lübeck. We should expand the markets in these cities and secure the trade of the Baltic Sea.
	Kallankas are great Barracks constructed in the vicinity of Qollqas for military purposes. Despite their size and presence, the Incan army would still be required to set up many tents to house the thousands of soldiers.
	Although our domestic opponents have been subdued, it is important that we keep these lords in check. Building a new system of roads and waystations would help make the daimyos' domains easier to reach from the capital and boost local commerce along those routes in the process.
	It has been suggested that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans could be connected through the construction of a canal in Panama. This is of course absurd. However, it may be realistic to construct a canal linking the Baltic to the North Sea so that ships might pass from Emden to our Baltic ports.
	To rely on the Öresund for navigation between the Baltic and North seas is to make a mistake. We ought to construct a canal to connect the two together without having to take the long route around
	With the know-how of the Danes and the craftsmanship of the Norwegians it is time to construct a flagship which is worthy to lead our navy to glory!
	A fleet might help to protect our trade, but we also need places where people can actually trade in the first place. We should construct marketplaces in key cities of Scandinavia so we can siphon some of the money which flows into the Baltic Sea.
	The Enlightenment has struck the world. The masses are questioning the rule of the few. Science and education replaces religion in our socieity.\nIt would be wise to follow this trend and start constructing universities in our land for the Enlightenment.
	The demand for our products is increasing and more merchants want to trade salt and other goods with us. We should construct workshops to increase the production efficiency.
	The Consulate of the Sea administers the maritime commerce of our nation from Valencia. Its ability to enforce its laws however depends on whether it can control the flow of trade in the Western Mediterranean. We must aid the Consulate's efforts by securing the majority of the trade share in the nearby sea.

	The Baghels of Baghelkhand are descended from the former rulers of Gujarat, and may again try to press their claims on our territory. Malwa must consume them before they get the chance.
	We are far away from our German brethren of the Holy Roman Empire. The Livonian and Teutonic Orders might be right now our nearby allies, but they are also our greatest competitors - and only a temporary defense against the Polish-Lithuanian alliance and the Muscovite threat.\nWe should do whatever is possible in order to reach the Emperor, and join the Holy Roman Empire.
	Among our neighbors, there are those who have a completely different view of the world from us. They say they follow the teachings of the Prophet, which are completely alien to us. We must keep close relations with them, there might be a lot we can learn.
