	Goal	Key
	Gold is seen as an immensely valuable resource in the world. However, in West Africa it is only second to another, much more important resource: salt. While gold is useful for our treasury, it is not edible, and as such salt is of high value here.\nThen there are cloths, which are of great importance to protect the body from the heat of the sun.\n\nWe should develop the production of both goods in order to supply our market and to expand our trade even beyond the Sahel and Niger.
	The Baltic Lands are a region of incredible worth for anybody who is interested in commerce in the Baltic Sea. Cities like Riga, Danzig or Vilnius are the heart of the trade, and the Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian cultures give this region its face.\nWe should develop the lands, and guarantee the prosperity of the Baltic people.
	Our capital is the shining jewel of our country, and its symbol. We must develop it into a true bustling city that clearly shows its importance.
	Our capital is already one of the greatest cities in the world, but it could be greater still. We must expend our resources towards further development.
	Now that all the Hausa cities are under our control, we need to develop them to make them shine like the jewels they ought to be.
	The city of Visby is the main point of interest for anybody who visits Gotland. We should expand the city in any way possible in order to make it into the main port of the Baltic Sea.
	Investments in the folwark system have been deemed succesful on creating a great agricultural output, which has brought us huge profits. Now, our advisors have suggested that further improving the development of rural towns and villages and the living standards of peasants would also boost markets in the countryside, leading to increased prosperity and higher economic profits.
	Whilst we seem to have a dominant position in the Adriatic and the Mediterranean in general, we must not rest easy on the fruits of our labor. The continued innovation of our maritime vessels is vital for our continued stability.
	A proper navy is certainly a good first step for a Republic that aspires to harness the maritime waves of Europe. We shall now fund an expansion of our maritime fleet and protect our trade.
	Once the territory of heretics, the Russian lands are now in our hands. In order to keep Catholicism the ruling religion in this region, we should show the Russians the Catholic benevolence and develop this wild territory.
	Europe has been struck by the Bullion Famine. A lack of precious minerals such as gold and silver has contributed to the fall of many affluent merchants across the continent, including ours. To mitigate the situation, we must align ourselves with Europeans who have access to valuable minerals, seize them for ourselves or assist Goslar in pioneering new methods to rejuvenate their old mines.
	The River Neva is home to small but growing port towns. It should be developed to become a center not only of commercial trade, but also of a new Novgorodian naval force.
	The Scandes are a mountain range rich with iron and copper. But due to the nature of mountainous terrain they are difficult to traverse. We should develop the infrastructure of the Scandes provinces so we start with our search for new iron and copper nodes.
	Stability alone is not enough to improve the lot of all our people. Southern Italy in particular has historically suffered great hardships. If we want all Italians to be content with our rule, we must pay special attention to the Mezzogiorno.

	Nestled between our mountains, our fertile valleys are home to large flocks of sheep, their wool a potential goldmine. It's high time we invested in the development of a flourishing wool industry, turning these flocks into a source of prosperity for our nation.
	The Mitma is the Incan policy of resettling various native groups across the empire. Usually done on newly conquered, rebellious peoples, the Inca would resettle a portion of them to another province in the empire, mainly due to economical reasons and to ensure loyalty.
	The Devshirme System has proven its value over the years as it served as the main source of new Janissary recruits for our armies. However, as time went on, the system has been increasingly ignored. Now it even works against our favor as it grants more privileges to the Janissaries without any benefit for the state.\nWe should either overhaul this ancient system or abolish it for good.
	Stora Kopparberget is an old copper mine in our nation, which quantity of pure copper ore has secured the economy of Sweden since as early as the 9th century. Under King Magnus IV the company which was responsible for the mining process received further privileges in 1347, which increased the production of copper even further.\nWhile Stora Kopparberget is already responsible for a sizable percentage of our income, their potential has not been fully reached yet.
	The time has come to do away with the trappings of old religions. Instead we must elevate our our ruler to the status of divine and make all the higher nobles his direct disciples. This divine faith will allow us to form a bond with all of those who serve the state, stronger than kinship or religion ever could.

	Dinétah is our ancestral homeland. The boundaries of the four mountains must be stretched out until achieving total domination of the ground that belongs to us.
	Europe has a new actor at its heart. It's time other nations started to take us seriously in their plans, especially as we are no longer a minor power.
	Rumors from the East tell of a large landmass to the South-East. It is time we charted the extent of Indonesia and Australasia.
	Our contacts in the Indies speak of a land to their south, full of strange creatures like giant rats with pouches, and a beaver with the beak of a duck. Even if the lands aren't rich in resources, this is something we have to see for ourselves.
	It has long been theorized that rather than travel East, we could go West to India. We must put this theory to the test, and search out the ideal landing spot.

	On many occasions, pale skinned people sailing from the north have arrived to our shores, trying to trade with us most of the time. Knowing where they come from can allow us to set the conditions of this trade and avoid any new attempt of bullying us.
	Trade with India has been continuing since time immemorial, but with the long routes, others are profiting from this. We must outfit an expedition and find a sea route to India.

	Our Navigators are beseeching the crown to underwrite a mission to explore the seas to the west of us. They have heard rumors of rich lands that they wish to claim for the glory of France.

	We are the Land of the Rising Sun, but there are rumors running around about other lands further beyond in all directions, even to the East. We must set out to see if those rumors are true.
	The rumors from our rivals tell us about mysterious lands in the far West, filled with unimaginable wonders and opportunities for aspiring global empires. We need to discover this land before our enemies get the chance to expand there first.
	It is crucial that we discover the wonders of the New World. Land we don't have maps for is hard to colonize after all.
	The clergy is a plague upon our realm as they embody the very religious fanaticism we want to root out. We should revoke privilges for the clergy and remove any kind of power from them.

	Our Turkmen brethren of Aq Qoyunlu find themselves in a difficult position, surrounded by great powers who seek to subjugate them. Let us step in, and by merging our nations, we shall save them from the most terrible fate.
	For far too long has Venice been a thorn in our side. Having recovered Dalmatia, we must now look to annihilate the republic and establish ourselves as the hegemon of the Adriatic.
	Our Turkmen brethren of Qara Qoyunlu have forged a formidable state, yet we fully understand how weak it really is. Let us descend upon the lands of our brethren, and those wise enough will surely join our ranks, bringing about the beginning of our domination of the region.
	The ill-fated charade that parades the name of the Roman Empire is naught but a sad state of affairs and clear delusional thinking. Breaking it and annulling its purpose would only serve to further our prestige.
	When Zheng He and his treasure fleet entered Nusantara, he disrupted the balance of power and commerce in our empire. We should repay the favor by sending our new fleet to disrupt trade in China.
	Blast! Genoa has managed to secure trading rights through the Bosphorus. We are losing markets fast. We should knock out their Black Sea Colonies before they know what hit them.
	A new confession, the Reformation, has branched off from Catholicism after Martin Luther publicly exposed his 'Ninety-five Theses', rejected by the Pope and considered heretical. The new ideas have spread in our country, and now we have to face the decision about what will be our religious policy from now on: Will we remain faithful Catholics, will we adopt the Protestant or Reformed confession as our new religion, or will we become a safe haven of tolerance for the different confessions?
