	Goal	Key
	Our glorious our nation has seen the rise of a secret organization that calls itself "the Enlightened". While some of their aims are worthy, others are potentially dangerous, relying on revolutionary ideas. We should take a firm stance on the matter and either adopt their program or stamp the organization out.
	Schools of thought in Tibet may not always agree with one another, or with ours, yet their teachings offer knowledge and their leaders hold good authority over their people. To that end, we must ensure their loyalty to our dynasty via whatever means necessary.
	The Trapezuntine Empire has been a longstanding friend throughout our history, a natural ally in our quest for survival. It is crucial for us to strengthen our bond with them, fostering a closer relationship and potentially considering a vassal arrangement. We must not forget that the Empire owes its establishment, in part, to the assistance provided by our Queen Tamar. It may be worth reminding them of this shared history and the significance of our past collaboration.
	The land of Mazovia have been ruled by members of the Piast dynasty since it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Poland centuries ago. These rich lands are in the midst of our dominions, so the Duchy of Mazovia must be once more a full part of Poland.
	The Revolution has struck Europe. Monarchs fear for their power while the burghers are rejoicing. What were once kingdoms are now nations.\nWe need to make a clear statement regarding the Revolution, and either embrace it or crush it.
	The Sejm has become far too powerful over the years, deigning even to choose the successor to the throne. Their influence must be curtailed, and power concentrated back into the hands of the monarch.
	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.
	Gothia's coastal influence has been in tatters for far too long. If we are to ever stand a chance at reclaiming our status in the Black Sea, the Italians must be pacified, or destroyed.
	With Maratha armies under our command, we shall flood the Deccan with our forces and subjugate all in our wake.
	While we are doing what we can to facilitate the immigration of Persian adventurers, soldiers and officers, their sons and grandsons quickly form close ties to these lands. Calling themselves 'Deccanis', the second generation has allied itself with local Hindu nobles to form a powerful faction at court. We should bestow honors and important positions on these Deccanis, and spend resources on improving their estates. Their way of living is how our state can survive in the long term.
	The German lands formally protected by the Emperor are nothing but a low-hanging fruit for our ambitious conquest plans. Conquering them and making them proper French territory will surely eradicate one more threat from our borders.
	The time for our independence has finally come! Let us break this union of incompetence and establish a crown which is worthy to rule over Sweden!
	Hungary's relative decline in relation to the Duchy of Austria is a cause for concern. We must tighten our relationship with Hungary to ensure its lands do not fall into hostile hands.
	Hungary's relative decline in relation to the Duchy of Austria is a cause for concern. We must tighten our relationship with Hungary to ensure its lands do not fall into hostile hands.
	Ayutthaya seeks to subjugate our Sultanate through force. We will show them that we will not bow down so easily.
	We will never be truly safe until the tyrant King of Denmark is defeated utterly. We must liberate the peasantry of Jutland and drive out the aristocracy from all of Denmark.
	Jaunpur itself should be returned to rule from Delhi, and its Afghan generals made to submit to the Sultan.
	Our our nation has been in constant conflict with Lithuania ever since we set foot in the Baltics in 1225. It was due to our efforts that the Lithuanians eventually turned their back to the pagan faith, converting to Christianity. However, even then our fight with them did not end.\nIt is time to finish squabbling with them once and for all.
	Mewar is our historic and most immediately threatening rival. Their Rajput warriors are intimidating indeed, but we must overcome them in battle.
	While Novgorod valiantly resisted the rule of the Tatars, the Muscovites bent their knee and willingly became tax collectors for the Khan. Their growing strength is alarming, and we have clashed with them many times over territory. They must be destroyed.
	If we wish to establish an empire in the Moluccas, we must move quickly to eliminate rival kingdoms.
	The path to a great empire begins with a small victory. With the defeat of our immediate rivals we show ourselves to be a contender for glory.
	Franconia is divided between many weak, petty states. Only by military strength can unity be brought back to the duchy.
	The Kingdom of Poland has been in a struggle with us for a century by now. We must show them that they can no longer threaten us! We have to defeat them on the open field and illustrate their lack of power compared to our greatness!
	Inspired by the glories of Teotihuacan and filling the power vacuum that they left behind, the Nahua Triple Alliance led by the city of Tenochtitlan is growing to be our greatest rival in the known world. Let us strike them decisively and their unattainable ambitions.
	The Barbary Pirates are a plague upon our nation, raiding our coasts and taking our people as slaves. They must be defeated once and for all.
	Qara Qoyunlu, the Black Sheep Turkomans, are our greatest rivals. Though they have grown to a great size, they face constant uprisings and tribal struggles. When the opportune moment arrives, we will strike.
	Ever our hated enemy and rival, England continues to be a thorn in our side. We must bypass or defeat the Royal Navy, land on Great Britain itself, and put an end to the English nation once and for all.
	With the French weakened, their realm now lies in chaos. It is time to deliver a coup de grace, and end them once and for all.
	The Hormuzi traders are our archrivals in the competitive markets of India. Let us eliminate their hosts at home, putting an end to their autonomy and forcing them to cooperate. Surely no other force will arrive in India to disturb our monopoly.
	The Teutonic Knights were originally invited into Prussia at the request of the Polish Kingdom. Since then they have turned into a problem, the Knights must recognize that these lands are a lawful part of Poland.
	The Livonian Order has warred with Lithuania since its foundation, even after we converted to Catholicism. We must crush them once and for all.
	The Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt has been the dominant power of the Islamic world since the Mongols sacked Baghdad. While they call themselves the protectors of the Caliph and the Holy City they have grown weak and decadent. The time is perfect to lay claim to their Syrian possessions and liberate the holiest cities of Jerusalem and Dimashq from their grip.
	The Ottomans - the Scourge of Europe and the Christendom. Our weak neighbors fear the Turkish Sultan. Why? All they achieved was annexing an already pathetic excuse of a Roman Empire.\nWe shall show the Christian world that our order is mightier in devotion and on the battlefield than any Turkish soldier could dream to be!
	Ottomans are certainly the second Empire struggling for recognition as the Caliphate. There is only one rightful monarch at the head of all of Islam, and that monarch is not of the Osman dynasty. We shall prove that on the battlefield.
	The Rus defied us when we first demanded their obedience. Let us hope that they learned their lesson after the devastation we inflicted upon their lands, else we will be forced to repeat the violence of the past.
	The fiercely independent Serbians and Bosnians occupy a position of strategic importance at our gateway to Greece. We must flex our muscles and bring them into our empire.
	The rich land of Japan is ripe for the picking. If we can capture Kyoto, the Imperial Capital of Japan, further resistance to our conquest will quickly dissipate.
	Andean polities, divided amongst themselves, are not able to mount a defense against our powerful army. Let us go forth and begin our march north. First, let us vanquish the Wankas.
	The Saxons and Brandenburgers to the east eye our lands with ill-disguised greed. We must ensure that our army is a sufficient deterrent to keep away the vultures... and perhaps to allow us to entertain ambitions of our own.
	Liberty is most sweet to those who have tasted the bitterness of servitude. Let us strive for our autonomy and undo the shackles of our so-called sovereign! Findland shall be free.
	We are the true heirs of the Whig tradition that the autocratic government back in Britain has betrayed. We must defend our right to no taxation without representation in the same manner as Cromwell and Fairfax.
	Our city is vulnerable - our armies are small, and our immense wealth tempts many would-be expansionist powers. We must build our forces so that we may be safe from attack.
	Over the course of time, many of our Princes have foolishly lost territory to the uncivilized nations beyond the Imperial borders. Unfortunately, that makes us look weak. Recover them.
	The Reformation is finding new members every day, but so do our enemies too. The backward heretics are preparing the forces to extinguish the Flame of the Reformation. Our brothers and sisters in faith need somebody who will defend them from the Catholic threat. They need us!
	Southern Italy is home to many devout Christians who wish to see our nation taking in active part in defending the faith. We must rise to this expectation and win the support of both our people and the Lord.
	Our evangelizing mission in the Baltic requires that our Order be proclaimed as the Bastion and Defender of the only true faith in the region, which must be widely disseminated among our fellow Catholics.
	We have won the Religious War in Germany! But the threat of the heretics still lingers. We should embrace the title of Defender of Faith so that our our religion brothers and sisters can practice their faith without the threat of the Catholics.
	We have won the Religious War in Germany! But the threat of the heretics still lingers. We should embrace the title of Defender of Faith so that our our religion brothers and sisters can practice their faith without the threat of the Reformation.
	A Reformation is sweeping across Europe, and our history of unorthodoxy places us at the forefront of the theological and political conflict. We must take a stand for the true faith and introduce our heretical enemies to a window!
