	Goal	Key
	If we want to hold an impenetrable defense, relying on just one aspect is not going to be enough of an assurance. We need multiple sets of walls and multiple plans in order to be prepared for any knavish trick our foes might have prepared.
	China believes it is owed tribute from all of South-East Asia. We must not kowtow to this false Emperor.
	China has ever been a great shadow over South East Asia, a constant but irregular threat to our sovereignty. We must become strong enough to openly defy the Emperor and launch an invasion of southern China.
	The arrogant Lodis of Delhi dare defy our will. Such audacity cannot stand and we shall deal with them promptly. Just like they defy our orders, we will defy any sense of goodwill when giving them appropriate treatment.
	Le Loi cast out the Ming tyrants from Dai Viet, but they still hold hegemony over our nation. We must show the Ming that we will not kowtow to the Emperor in Beijing.
	As long as we pay tribute to the Chinese Emperor, our sovereignty is not truly our own. The Dragon must not only be defied, but humiliated; we shall launch an invasion into the Chinese frontier.
	The Colla are certainly our most powerful rivals and owners of the northern Titicaca Basin. Their defeat would spell a new era for the Andes, an era where the Inca rules them all.
	The Mongol Yasa is most certainly the principal set of laws and traditions that we follow. This has upset many members of the Ulema and has given the Military much power in administrative affairs. We must ease those tensions in the court.
	The Holy Roman Empire is a troublesome political entity, but also a prestigious one, and it harbors opportunities to further promote our country above our peers if we can secure a good relationship with the Emperor.
	Fate has not been kind to the Delhi Sultanate for many decades, yet it seems now that the tide has turned. We must pave the way for the resurgence of our empire!
	We may be a collection of different tribes, but those tribes often do not obey our rules and seek out glory for only themselves. Showing them who is the our ruler will remind them what happens to rebellious subjects.
	The Garjat tribes have historically sworn fealty to whichever power controls the adjacent coast. When this land is ours, it follows that we should demand that same fealty of the Garjats.
	Majapahit once ruled a vast network of vassal and tributary states. We must ensure the loyalty of those kingdoms that remain under our grip and attempt to restore some part of our old empire.
	Our ships have always been rather small and unremarkable. It is time we built true warships, real floating fortresses big enough to transport armies, and we could even cover them with iron plates to make them truly invulnerable.
	Italy is rich and ripe for the taking. Like so many before us, we will stake out our part of Italy, and reap its riches for ourselves.
	Many of the petty lords of Epirus once swore fealty to the King of Naples. We must once again rule over the Epirotes and lay claim to the title of Despot.
	In 1404, Stefan Lazarevic received Belgrade from Hungary in a diplomatic exchange, although Serbia did not keep it after his death. His successor, Durad, ceded Belgrade back to the King of Hungary, who was coincidentally his uncle. Although conditions have changed since Lazarevic's time, it may be worth seeing if Hungary now is as receptive to a territorial deal as it was in the early fifteenth century.
	For too long has Northern Italy lived under the shadow of the Austrian Emperors. We must ensure that Italy is safe from their menace - permanently.
	Austria has been a perennial problem for us over the centuries. Their rulers have threatened us, cajoled us, and tried to dictate terms to us on numerous occasions. There is only one way the Austrian threat will stop, and that is with the utter defeat of Austria itself. If Austria ceased to be a problem, then there would be one less challenge to our political and diplomatic mastery in Europe.

	We gathered powerful allies and prepared our forces. The time has come to resolve the infinite struggle with Ethiopia once and for all!
	Majapahit once held sway over nearly all of Nusantara, including our own principality. Now that we have emerged as a rival to challenge their hegemony, we must wipe them out once and for all.
	The Ayyubids once ruled a vast empire, but are now reduced to a miserable shadow of their former glory. We should put them out of their misery.
	The British have been a thorn in our side for far too long. Their continental meddling and lack of respect towards our head of state threatens to throw a wrench in our plans, thus they must be eradicated.
	The Tatar Yoke might have been broken, but the safety of our people is still uncertain as long as the heirs of the Mongol Empire exist. None of these steppe nomads shall escape the wrath of Mother Russia!
	Even the great generals of the old Khanate failed to conquer Japan. When our fleets set sail from the west, no divine wind shall obstruct us from our destiny!
	Russia shall know only one Prince; the Prince of Novgorod the Great. The heirs of Rurik will never be satisfied until they sack our great city, and so we must end their line forever.
	The our ruler is not merely a mortal ruler, but also the spiritual center of our realm. We must ensure that the hearts of our people are sated with knowledge that the monarchy is secure, and the faith is protected.
	Many Chinese cities are refusing to surrender to our armies, forcing us into long sieges that slow down our campaign. We must make an example of one of China's greatest cities to show them the consequences of defiance.
	The Christians wiped off our ancient religion, and converted the High North. Now that we have returned to our roots, the Christian world is once again preying on us. We should teach these infidels where their place actually is!
	The British Isles are home to many different cultures and languages. The Scottish and the Highlanders in the North, the Irish of the emerald island and the Welsh and English in the South. Naturally, such collection of different cultures will lead to problems if left untended. We shall forge a British Identity in order to establish a British hegemony over the isles.
	Granting privileges to various towns in order to boost their development has been a long tradition in Hungary. Let us further incentivize this process by supporting the rights of the free royal towns, hopefully attracting more foreign merchants and craftsmen to settle in.
	Herat, the Pearl of Khorasan, has been our capital since 1405 when Shah Rukh decided on a monumental shift in our policy by moving the capital away from Samarkand. Since then it has become the center of cultural patronage in our country. We should continue to support the growth of this wonderful city.
	Our warriors have always been proud of themselves, and we should too. By organizing a festival in which they can show their prowess in battle all of our people would be equally proud of them.
	Königsberg is the most important city in Prussia. We must endorse a university in the city and invest in its development.
	Konstantiniyye was victim to many sackings, looting and raiding. It is up to us to restore this great city to the glory it truly deserves.
	The Korean homelands have never been as prosperous as neighboring China. We must change this if we are to compete on the regional stage.
	Our land is relatively small compared to the ones of our neighbors, but it has potential. We should develop the infrastructure of Livonia, Curonia and Estonia and bring the maximum out of these states.
	Lombardy is already one of the wealthiest parts of Europe, let alone Italy. By applying new manufacturing practices in our homeland, we can turn ourselves into a true economic powerhouse.
	We would make Malacca into the greatest trading port in the world, complete with magnificent temples and fortifications.
	As times change, cities rise and fall. We must develop new centers of trade and population, so that they may become seats of power for our nation.
	Our peers in the great courts of Europe will never take us seriously until we have a capital equal in splendor to theirs.
	Now that we finally managed to restore the authority in the city it is time to expand and develop the city to not any ordinary jewel but the diamond of the Baltic Sea!
	Our our nation is on the verge to reach greatness. However, for achieving this we need more people and the infrastructure to support them. We should develop our capital and the surrounding area.
	Naples is a great city but could be greater still. And many of the outlying towns of our domain are underdveloped. We should take measures to invest in our nation for the sake of our people's prosperity.
	The Provencal heartland is rich, but could be richer still. We must develop the city of Marseilles as well as the surrounding countryside.
	Our core land of Prussia is fertile and can sustain a strong local economy. However, the past wars with Poland and Lithuania forced us to neglect this aspect of the land. But now the time has finally come for us to catch up.
	Ruthenia is an underdeveloped region with great potential, thus far stifled by the ever-present threat of war and raiding. We should bring stability to the region and begin to restore its productivity.
	Kiev was once a proud city, capital of all the Rus. It has since fallen into decay, and should be restored as a central hub of trade and wealth, a shining emblem of our prosperous nation.
	The lands of Ruthenia, on both sides of the mighty Dnieper, are fertile and promising. However, it has become depopulated through centuries of war and raiding, leaving Ruthenia as but a shadow of what it could be under sound administration. We must invest our efforts into taming that land once more.
