	Goal	Key
	We cannot risk the emergence of a new empire in the west. We must do all in our power to strike down any potential threats before they are able to truly challenge us.
	The Delhi Sultanate once conquered the lands we now call our home and it was the Delhi Sultans who brought many of our ancestors to this region. It was also their oppressive rule and condescending attitudes that led us to declare ourselves an independent state in 1347, long before Timur crushed their power.\nAn opportunity has now presented itself to us to show the northern aristocrats where the true capital of India lies.
	Even though the Church is triumphant in the Empire, heretical words continue to be whispered throughout its lands, supported by proud princes who continue to follow the wrong faith. We must go forth and stamp out the source of these teachings! That is the only way we can finally end this so-called 'Reformation' once and for all.
	The corsair rulers of the Maghreb have always been an independent people. While their actions against our European foes are useful, they are unplanned and chaotic. The time has come to bring them to heel and incorporate these hardy sailors and clever captains into our fleet.
	The Reformation brought many heretic infidels to the world, who try to spread their poisonous ideas to other Catholics. We must end this heretic undertaking immidiately, and crush this Reformation at once!
	The city-states of Tuscany and Liguria have been a political nuisance for far too long. Not only do they constantly challenge the extent of our rule, but they dare try to put their own people on the Papal Throne! It is time we acknowledged that the only way to finally settle the problem is by eliminating them.
	In 1431, we sacked the Khmer city of Angkor and destroyed their once-dominant empire. But this is not enough. We must subjugate them utterly.
	Previous Swabian attempts to conquer northern Italy were thwarted by the Lombard League, an alliance of cities against the invader. We must crush these rebellious cities and turn past Swabian emperors' dreams into reality.
	The Reformation has led to religious division and infighting among Christians. Now is the time to amend this heresy for good!
	Armies of political radicals swarm the streets of the cities of Europe. We cannot abide this disruption of the natural order, and so we must march into the very heart of this Revolution and crush it utterly.

	Wallachia is a key strategic territory, since its located in the middle of Ottoman and Hungarian lands. Therefore, taking control of it would allow us to create a great choke point that could help us secure our lands.
	The city alliance led by Tlaxcala sits right next to our border. As the Gods demand sacrifice, and as the people of Tlaxcala also believe in the ways of the Four Tezcatlipocas, we shall commence the Flower Wars, ritualistic wars meant to gather sacrifices for the Gods.
	We should model the state on the mandala; the state does not have the capacity to directly rule over every corner of our realm, so we entrust power to vassal states to rule in our stead.
	The connective river lines between the Nile and our Mediterranean coast are hosts to incredibly valuable and fertile land. We must invest in its continued prosperity!
	Many provinces across the realm bolster impressive amounts of commercial and mercantile traffic. However, if we are to tap into the incredible wealth within our borders, we must elevate designated provinces as centers of commerce.
	Maize is an important aspect of the Mayan way of life. It is believed that Gods tried to shape humans with clay and wood, but only out of maize dough could they live on and celebrate their patrons' greatness.
	Maize is the most common crop in our lands. We must plant more of it, and in turn harvest more, if we are to keep our supplies of maize for festivals endless.
	Our efforts have placed our country in a brilliant position among our peers, thanks to our political, diplomatic and economic influence. This has meant a Golden Age for our country, thus considered by nationals and foreigners, consolidating us as a leading center for arts and culture.
	The court needs to perfect our practices, our customs and culture. This does not only include the perfection of our customs but also embracing our ideals and morals. Corruption shall be completely absent while meritocracy shall dominate the court life.
	Following the declaration regarding union of the churches, many bishops in other realms have chosen to sever their ties with us, instead choosing to declare Autocephaly and independence from the patriarch in Constantinople. Among them were the undisputed leaders of this movement in Russia. Let us coerce them to bring them back into the fold.
	The Qoyunlu tribes dare defy our suzerainty. Not only that, but they also dare send campaigns to seize frontier cities like Qazvin or Soltanieh. We shall curb their willingness to disrespect our authority.
	The Tahirids were the wealthy statesmen and magnates of the Rasulid Dynasty, mostly focused on the east. With the recent emergence of a power vacuum, they have carved out a state focused on Aden and threatening the city of Taiz.
	Eric Gryf, the previous king of the Kalmar Union, was deposed by treacherous nobles who lost their trust in Eric. We cannot allow our rulers to be deposed the same way. The estates' power must be limited!
	Rival noble dynasties seek the throne for themselves. Their influence must be limited, and the powers of the state expanded.
	Once the beacon of knowledge and culture, the city of Baghdad still bears the scars of the devastating Mongol sack. The echoes of its once vibrant markets and intellectual discourse seem lost in time. As the new Custodians of Baghdad, we will rebuild its infrastructure, protect its citizens, and once again fill its libraries with scholars, thus reinstating the city's status as the jewel of the Islamic world.

	The Holy Cities of the Islamic world are controlled by weaklings. We, the merchants of our nation, backed up by gold and steel are a much better fit for the title of Custodian. Mecca and Medina will be in our hands soon.

	The Ayyubids used to hold sway and control over the holy cities, and this came with a duty of protecting pilgrims who committed the Hajj. Seeing our resurgent rise back to our old territories it is only natural for us to aim towards reclaiming the honorable duty. The holy cities shall fall under Ayyubid protection.
	As owners of the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina, it is our sacred duty to appoint right stewards and to do everything in our power to keep the cities' streets bustling and the holy sites secure. Any muslim seeking to make their pilgrimage here should have nothing to fear.
	The lands we control are abundant in resources that fuel the currently ongoing industrial revolution. Let us put them to good use, and revitalize our economy thanks to massive investments into production and manufacturing.
	Rapid expansion of the Empire has left us with several forms and standards for land and tax management. We shall, therefore, create a single unified system that will be better than the rest and one that will trivialize tax farming.
	We must continue our expansion along the Adriatic Coast, making sure to seize the wealty trading port of Ragusa long the way.
	Our vassal Damot once used to be a state, which subjugated the Sultanate Shewa. The other vassal, the Hadiya Sultanate, used to be part of Shewa.\nWhile both nations sure have their history, they are nothing but subjects to us since the Zara Amda Seyon the I took matters in his hands and conquered both nations in the year 1309. Now the time has come that these two nations join our great empire! But in order to do this their rulers might need some persuasion first.
	It is apparent that our Swedish roots are not known for their maritime abilities. Indeed, we were and still are feared in combat on land, but our ships are not our greatest pride.\nFortunately our our nation incorporated the Kingdom of Denmark, which has many sailors and ship builders to our service.
	The Hansa port cities have long been the center of Danish trade, however, this situation is no longer suitable. Denmark must control the major ports along the Baltic coast by any means possible.
	The seafront along the West Indian Coast is of great importance to strengthen our grip over India. We must seize it!
	The trade between Europe and India is an ancient business which brought wealth and prosperity to many empires in the past. Of course we have our own interests to benefit from the trade of India. We should increase our influence in India, and get access to the markets of the Far East.
	Merchants from our our nation request for permissions to establish a trading company in the New World. As, apparently, America is not one but two large continents, it would be a wise choice to colonize the Caribbeans and entrust these isles to the merchants.
	Our armies and forts need to be paid for but, happily enough, we sit on one of the busiest trade routes in Europe. We should tap into that trade and let the money roll in.
	Danzig is among the richest and most strategic ports in the Baltic. We do not expect the Teutons to surrender it easily, and so a simple offer must be put to them; Danzig or war!
	Education is a vital endeavor for our enlightened people. It is the state's responsibility to ensure we pride the highest quality of education available to any who seek it!
	As the mightiest champions of Allah, it is our duty to bring the Ummah under the banner of the rightful Caliphs. We march under the shadow of the Ayyubid eagle and the Black Standard of Muhammad. We are the sword of Islam, and we shall be the ones to unite the faithful!
	The monarch should not be limited by tradition, local privilege, or the nobility. Instead, as first amongst equals, he must be sole commander of the ship of state.
	Originally composed as a treatise, studying the facets of architecture, by the Roman architect and military engineer Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, the study dubbed 'Ten Books on Architecture' has served as the basis for all matters of its nature. Its many lessons will only serve to assist us in erecting more illustrious and adorned buildings.
	Brandenburg has the potential to become the power base of a state in northern Germany strong enough to challenge us. This challenge must be neutralized if our dominance in Germany is to remain unquestioned.
	Vlad II's assistance during our past wars against the Ottomans was rather questionable. We cannot let him keep alternating between us and them, and risk the fall of Wallachia into the Turkish sphere of influence. It is high time we intervene and deal with Dracula once and for all.
	There are a number of weak, autonomous bishoprics on our borders. If we wish to strengthen Austria, these would be easy targets for expansion.
	The Hansa is the most powerful trade federation of North Germany. Gaining any kind of presence in the market of Lübeck will prove quite difficult.\nHowever, it is not impossible. Through diplomacy, concessions or force, we have a chance to gain access to this market and increase our trading profit considerably.
