	We must continue to push forward along the Danube, towards the heart of Hungary, Austria and the Holy Roman Empire.
	The Western Ghats are home to a great number of small forts that can be used as raiding bases by Maratha cavalry against our subjects and against our armies. These high and often densely forested hills cannot be allowed to remain free from our influence!

	As one of the most powerful nations in the Empire, it is no surprise that we have our eye on the Imperial throne. Mere decades ago, the Empire was ruled by a Bohemian king, and it would be very beneficial for us if we were able to reclaim the crown for ourselves.
	The Eunuchs have been controlling the emperors and the imperial court since the start of Chinese history. Many conflicts and much corruption has arisen thanks to them. Instead of making the mistakes of the past, we should find a way to pacify them.
	Fur; the soft gold of the North and of Siberia. The demands for good fur will never run out. We must make sure that we have a monopoly over the Fur trade.
	Many of our our ports are at the end of the lucrative Hanseatic trade route. Controlling more of the ports on this route would be a sensible business decision.
	The Holy Land has always been a focal point of the Christian world. Yet, it is currently under the control of forces that do not share our faith and reverence for these sacred lands. The city of Jerusalem, the symbolic heart of Christianity, must be returned to Christian hands.
	Eastern Christianity has borne the brunt of conflict and subjugation for far too long. Our sacred sites, from Alexandria, the center of Coptic Orthodoxy, to Aleppo, a city of profound Christian heritage, remain under foreign dominance. It is our duty to reconquer and protect these hallowed grounds.
	The landed nobility, or Junkers, have a great deal of influence over the our state. We must rein in these nobles and force them to serve the nation rather than extracting privileges from it.

	Lubeck being the major trade city under our control is simply not enough. It is time we expand our sphere of influence into the neighboring cities.
	The Panama is a thin area of land which separates the Pacific and the Antlatic oceans from each other. Naturally, this province is of high value as it serves as port of two entire seas. We must take it for ourselves and establish a toll there!
	The Spice Trade is a profitable business and reaches Europe through the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. While getting to the Persian Gulf is of little issue, the southern end of the Red Sea is outside our reach. We should expand our influence to the south and secure the strait of Bab el Mandeb.
	The Red Sea is not only a vital trade route between Egypt and Aden but also a strategically important place that allows easy access to the Holiest Cities of Islam. To ensure the flow of trade and the protection of our coastline, the region must be firmly controlled by our navies, so that they may repel anyone who dares to enter our waters.
	The river Niger is the lifeline of West Africa and as such has a high importance in this region. It would be best if this river is in total control.
	There are few left to challenge our mercantile authority in this region. Nevertheless, we must be seen to exert total control over our own affairs before we continue our journey of exploration Eastwards.
	Now that we control Malacca, the spice trade is open to us. We should secure additional entrepôts around the Straits of Malacca to assert our dominance of the spice trade.
	Shipbuilding is a stable step towards developing a maritime presence in the Baltic seas. Tar, a substance used in ships, is commonplace in the Northern shores yet incredibly vital for our naval ventures in the future.
	The Pope is not just a moral force in Christianity - he also has considerable direct power over large territories in Italy. As such, he would represent a fearsome enemy. One way or another, we must ensure that he will not use his considerable resources against our interests.
	The Chinese Empire controls the western and northern shores of the Yellow Sea, allowing them to threaten the land access routes to the Korean Peninsula. If Korea were to be able to claim these territories, the prosperity of the our nation would be greatly increased.
	Our conquests have brought some instability to our lands. We have to reduce the unrest.

	The Zagros mountains used to provide a natural border to our land in the West. Ensure that these borders are restored to us.
	Having wrested Genoa from merchant rule, doing the same in Venice now seems like an achievable goal. If we can both control the city and take over their maritime commerce, we could count ourselves as one of the richest nations in the world.
	The people of Wallachia cannot possibly survive under Ottoman rule. Bring them under our protection.
	The southernmost territories of the Low Countries are the lands of the Walloons. Already, their wool runs through our looms, and our textiles are sold in their markets. We must protect our common bonds by bringing our lands even closer together.
	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.
	Stretching towards the exotic lands of India, West Khorasan is vital to the continued success of our kingdom.
	The economy of our nation is based on nzimbu as currency and the inner trading. But only internal trade is not efficient enough, and as such we should expand trade to the inner tribes of Kongo, the great lake and the Ivory Coast.
	The people of Asia Minor have sadly adopted the faith of their conquerors. Now that they have been liberated, we must return them to the Holy Orthodox Faith.

	While our relationship with the Hindu population has been largely acceptable, it would surely be preferable to rule a state where the people follow the true faith. The Sufis are already active in the Delta. They should be put to work throughout our core territory, evangelizing our religion.
	The rest of Europe looks on disapprovingly as we appear to harbor heresy in our midst. Restore our misguided brothers to the one true faith.

	The people of Kashmir have begun to stray from the path of enlightenment. We must restore Tibetan rule to the region to help them find their way.
	With the Islamization of our aristocracy we have decided to convince our people to embrace Islam as well. We should get going with it, root the heathen practices of the past out and eliminate the power the has over us.
	The religious situation in Persia is precarious and a breeding ground for future rebellions against our reign. We must create a unifying, our identity by enforcing absolute religious unity.
	Most effective way of converting the Sunni population will be the conversion of the mosques and their practices to what we believe is right.
	As new provinces join our great state, it is our duty to teach those in our care the way to salvation. Only the faithful can fully integrate into our country and join their fellow citizens in our glorious destiny.
	It is disgraceful that many of our holiest cities have fallen to heathenry and sin. We must restore the Christian faith to the Holy Land.
	Our home region is plagued by heathens and heretics alike. As long we have no religious unity within our our nation any chance of peace is futile. We should convert the infidels and bring them to light of the our religion faith!
	It is easy to forget that our purpose is not just fighting. After all, we are an order of knights, who are born and raised with the sword in the hand. But a more crucial part of our Order is not only defeating the heathens, but also converting them to the true faith. We shall convert these lands, or die trying.
	The the clergy have studied the history of the Mossi and their raids against our people, and have suggested a solution: the total conversion of the Mossi to the true faith! These heathens must see the light of Allah!
	There are many in Lan Xang who still follow traditional folk religions. We must show them the error of their ways.
	There are still too many people that don't believe in the teachings of the Prophet, this can not stand. We must spread His teachings if we are to become a beacon of civilization.
	West Africa has always been unique when it comes to religion. When Islam established its foothold in West Africa, the upper elites converted to the true faith, but did not force it upon their subjects. In rare cases they even granted the heathen peasants rights and tolerated their behavior.\nThe time for tolerance is over though, and now these heathens should be led on the right path too.
	In the times of ancient power and glory, the Coptic Church was the bedrock of faith and culture in Egypt. Yet, centuries of foreign domination have led to the marginalization of the Coptic community, with the once prominent church's influence substantially diminished. Our Armenian crusade is not only for liberation but also for the restoration of the spiritual heart of the Coptic community. Let us restore the glory of the Coptic Church and ensure the return of the Copts to prominence in Egypt.
	A nation whose borders encompass such vast swathes of land cannot but depend on few powerful figures within our courtyard. Thus, to ensure proper stability and operational integrity, we must discern the best way forward and distribute power accordingly.
