	The Ichma consider Pachacamac their creator who is living and helping the humans in his idol form serving as an oracle. Perhaps we should contact him.
	Our realm has always been the attraction point for many foreigners from lands far away. The Europeans, while even more alien to us than the Muslims, are no exception and eventually reached our land too. But the contact with them was superficial at best. We have to establish a better way to stay in contact with the Europeans in order to trade and learn from them.
	During the time of the Ghana Empire the Sahel and Niger regions received many visitors from Arabia and Maghreb. This continued during the lifetime of the Mali Empire, but nowadays the travellers and merchants from these regions rarely come to us anymore. We should restore the contact with our brethren in faith - at least with those in Maghreb as they are the closest to us.
	Ever since the times of the great Negusa Nagast Dawit the I, our our nation had contact with the Europeans. But due to the long distances and the complications caused by the Mamluks, none of the Europeans could hold the contact with us permanently. This changed when the Portuguese started building their global empire and when they needed allies near to the Indian Ocean.\nWe should initialize the contact with the Portuguese!
	The Fulani have unexpectedly become more relevant recently. We must establish contact with them, and assess if they may be beneficial for us.
	Genoa has long been a thorn in our side, and the growing power of Western Mediterranean trade is simply strengthening their hand and making them more of a threat to us. We must do something about their sources of trade- if we can cut into their income, they won't be nearly wealthy enough to seriously contest our power, and that will enable us to humiliate them further.

	Instead of ships sailing from one continent to another, or many tolls being paid so that a caravan reaches its destination, we will instead promote a system where the caravans are free to move from one corner of the empire to the next.
	The surprise discovery of the new world has gripped our people in a frenzy of exploration. Continue this voyage of discovery, that we may lay claim to this new land before our erstwhile oppressors can.
	Further to our claims in Iberia, we should establish our presence in a few cities in North Africa to protect against invasion.

	Italy has long been the cradle of intellectual thought and artistic achievement. We should do our utmost to support these fine traditions, and expand the educational centers of learning which have done so much to spread new ideas and inspire new generations of thinkers and artists.

	The fate of the Kingdom of Bohemia has long been of interest to the Dukes of Austria. We must take a more active hand in this and bring the Kingdom more firmly into our orbit.
	Bosnia, like Serbia, should be in thrall to us, their rightful overlords. A nation as pitiful as this cannot be expected to defend itself against internal revolts, let alone the marauding Turk. Whilst we are at it, we should drive the Italians from our shores and remove one more threat to our rule.
	From our base in Ceylon, the bountiful markets of southern India are just a short cruise away. It would be sheer madness for us to ignore this opportunity to expand our economic reach.
	Stretching towards the exotic lands of India, West Khorasan is vital to the continued success of our kingdom.
	The heartlands of our late liege Timur the Lame are central to our heritage. When we possess them all, our claim will have much more merit.
	Although the terrain is arid and lifeless, this land rightfully belongs to us.
	With France out of the way, and much of Europe in awe at our might, it is time we turn our attention to the self-proclaimed 'Holy Roman Empire'.
	Every good Muslim must go on the Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca. But those of our subjects who undertake this holy journey face extortionate fees and even the threat of robbery along the way. We must control several ports in West India so that pilgrims can secure safe and fair passage to the holy cities.
	Hormuz, situated at the entrance of the Persian Gulf, holds the key to a vast network of trade connecting the Middle East and overseas regions. Its strategic location makes it a vital link in the supply chain between Persia and Arabia. By controlling Hormuz, we will gain a significant advantage in shaping commerce and securing our nation's economic prosperity.

	Historically, the Bishopric of Liège has been a strong voice in the Vatican, and in the Holy Roman Empire. By extension, if we were to control this voice, we could better represent our interests.
	The verdant territory along the Gulf Coast, stretching up to the Zagros mountains is a key part of the Timurid inheritance. Take it from those who would lay claim to our heritage.
	The people of Mittelmark have long been our enemy, seeking to invade our land when they have the chance to do so. Their independence is a threat to our survival, and any threat must be eliminated.
	Moldavia has swapped hands more times than we can count. Clearly, however, we have the most legitimate claim to their land.

	Control over Dhofar has long been an objective for our people. Both to better protect ourselves against the Kathiri and Mahra, and to experience the fabled Frankincense the region exports.
	Whilst the Great Wall has fallen, the Chinese still resist us. Let us storm Beijing and the rest of their Northern territories for the horde.

	The remnants of the Yuan Dynasty have been secured by us. Now, we must secure the land of Mongolia, the land where the Yuan Dynasty remained after the Red Turban rebellion.

	Pronoiars are mostly landowners whose land has been granted for military service. Initially non-inheritable, the posts would later become hereditary as being a pronoiar was no longer that special. This institution is of great service to our military, but it does require immediate reform.
	The Serbian state once came begging for protection when the Ottoman Empire threatened their borders. We consider that plea for guidance to still be valid. Bring them into the fold.
	Just like North America, so does South America hold its fair share of riches and wealth. We cannot allow our enemies to take possession of them!
	The plains to our south are uncontested and as such are our rightful claim. We should ensure that we make these claims reality.
	Religious anarchy has gripped Europe. We must take control of the situation, and decide where we stand on the matter of the Divine.
	Sufi mystics have wandered the land of India for generations. Those who were wisest and most impactful left behind a legacy of faith and devotion to Allah which is remembered to this this day. If we can control the shrines dedicated to their memory, we could attract new Sufis to our realm to spread the word of God.
	Our merchants have watched Surat hungrily as the fortunes of its rulers waver. We must pay close attention to the political happening of this region and seize an ideal moment to launch an assault on the city.
	Our holdings in Further Austria include a variety of estates and territories scattered across Swabia. We should consolidate these by subduing the surrounding cities and princes, bringing them under our rule and establishing a bulwark of our power in the west.
	Noble families still command the armies of Dai Viet. We must bring the military into the control of the state.
	The Baltic Sea trade has been shown to be key for the good of our country, channeling ever-increasing wealth into our lands. More ambitious ventures to further increase the control of it would lead to greater wealth, also increasing our power over the region.
	The pirates who are drawn to the lawless Barbary Coast are ruthless opportunists. If we conquer the territory they could be easily convinced to enter our service as privateers.
	The Cape of Good Hope is the main stop for all merchants from Europe trying to travel to Asia and vice versa. Whoever controls the Cape will also control the European-Asian trade. From our experience with the Sound Toll, a place like the Cape is more than ideal for establishing another toll.
	Due to the discovery of the New World in the west, goods and profitable trade flows into the English Channel. It is a fool's errand to hope that either the British or the Dutch would steer their invaluable goods into the Sound Toll. Instead we should expand our own trade influence in the English Channel, and siphon as much trade as possible from our naval rivals.
	Our people now sit in the upper echelons of our faith's hierarchy. None, however, rest at the very top. We must seize the moment and control the direction of the faith itself!
	The merchants of our people are the base of our strength. Before we start looking outwards, we must make every effort necessary to solidify their hold on the trade in our region.
	The Coromandel region is home to the textile industry of South India. Many of its goods find their ways to China, the Middle East and even eventually to Europe. It would be in our best interest if we take control over this part of India.
