	Our merchant communities have been growing stronger and stronger for a long time now. It is time we give them the help they require to truly dominate our domestic trade. No foreign power must be allowed to influence the well being of our subjects.

	With Aden itself under our control, we are in a position to consolidate a monopoly over trade around the Gulf of Aden.
	With the coast under our control, we must ensure that the merchants in the Bay of Bengal enrich our own nation rather than feeding the coffers of lesser states.
	As an emerging trading nation, we need to control the biggest trade hubs in our area to ensure this dominance.
	The rule over the Baltic Sea has been a point of contention ever since the rise of the Scandinavian Kingdoms. But also non-Nordic realms have shown their interest to subjugate the Baltic Sea for themselves.\nObviously, these are all fools as there is no other our nation than ours and those we trust the most that should lay claim on the coastline!

	Various advances in the field of business and trade have proven valuable in the profound surge of wealth in the Italian peninsula. If we are to keep up with competition, it would be wise to embrace the same notions.
	To the southwest of Altiplano there are coastal valleys that remain weak and sparsely populated. Let us defeat them while weak and splintered.
	Strangers arrive to the shores of Australia, preaching of the cross and an ancient martyr. While we will not wholeheartedly embrace this new faith, the landscape of Dreaming Stories will undoubtedly be influenced by these new revelations.
	Once our people crossed the breadth of the sea on vessels capable of intercontinental travel, but the lush shores of Australia have made us complacent. We must revive the voyaging spirit of our people for a newer brighter future.
	Centuries ago, our people were driven out from their homes, driven out by the tyrannical king of the land, and guided by Huitzilopochtli to found a new home. That ancestral land was called Aztlan, the Land of Whiteness. Whilst our people may have forgotten the exact location of this land, they at the very least know that it is in the North, where Tezcatlipoca reins. Let us start our march north and slowly reclaim this ancestral home of ours.
	Our humble our nation cannot remain humble for much longer. As our realm has grown, so have our aspirations. We rightfully deserve a higher status for ourselves, and all that entails.
	The Caroleans are the result of our extensive military reforms. These battle-hardened soldiers go as close as possible to their enemies to unleash a barrage of lead. Afterwards, they charge into the enemy row, causing dread and panic at the frontline.\nWhile their strategy has proven to be working, it still needs further fine tuning as the casualties during the first fire intervalls are still unacceptable. We should drill our special units, and train their aiming skills.
	The invading Europeans are rapidly conquering the New World, and are even expanding into our traditional homes. They must be driven back to their ships.
	The invading Europeans are rapidly conquering Oceania, and are even expanding into our traditional homes. They must be driven back to their ships.
	We must liberate the Greek and Bulgarian peoples from their oppressors. It is time to finally drive the Turkish invaders back to the other side of the Bosporus!
	While druas are a quite common design in the Polynesian Triangle, their origin is in our lands. And as the original builders, our fame as best craftsmen is still well known. From our islands we export a lot of druas to other nations. Perhaps a better infrastructure can help us bring more wealth to our community.
	our nation will never thrive as a mere subject Duchy. We must learn the lessons of Normandy and Burgundy before us and cast off royal power.
	The Bavarians have long been a troublesome presence on our north-western border. Their wealthy duchy has the potential to be a great thorn in our side. We should secure our borders - and our preeminence - by claiming it for ourselves.

	The our nation of Milan is a troublesome but important part of the Empire. We should make sure that its riches cannot be used against us by bringing it under our closer control.

	Pomeranian ports would be a natural hinterland for our own Baltic trade if we manage to expand onto them!
	Dutch Baroque architecture, prevalent in the 17th century, embodied a distinctive style characterized by grandeur, precision, and practicality. Influenced by the country's economic prosperity and global trade dominance, architects embraced clean lines, ornate detailing, and a focus on functionality.
	Our trade in the Indies flourishes, but the security of our commerce and our merchants is in jeopardy as long as our economic control of the region isn't matched by political control. For the continued prosperity of the region and our national interests, it is imperative that we bring as much of the Indies as we can under our control.

	Perhaps the most important in a campaign is siege warfare. A battle may be costly should it be mismanaged, but a siege can be just as devastating if not planned correctly. Many military theorists in our nation have suggested new changes to how we conduct siege warfare.
	To aid in our efforts to open up trade with the Chinese, we should take establish a Dutch presence on the island of Taiwan.
	To better intercept our competitors' trade in the Far East, and to help our own merchants trade with China and Japan, we should establish a base on the island of Formosa.
	Many European nations seek to enforce their will using the word of God. We are not like them. We instead wish to expand our lands using newfound teachings, the teachings of Humanism, the concept of respecting fellow humans as long as they contribute to the state. Let us expand this ideology even more, in the name of the state!
	Throughout the years we have had many worthy foes. However, none shall stand against the lion that tamed even the most legendary of foes in the sea.
	The Low Countries have a history of revolutions and revolts against their masters. Therefore, we must assist them and bring them under our protective wing.
	Robust engineering and a culmination of strong materials are some of the factors that will allow us to erect strong dykes and master the water element.


	The contents of this mission will vary depending on whether we convert to Catholicism or remain Shinto.
	The contents of this mission will vary depending on whether we decide to improve the army or the navy.
	The Kalmar Union is powerful and possess naval, military and economical power beyond what we can muster in Gotland.\nWe need to contact the relatives of our ruler our dynasty of the main land and request military help.\n\nFortunately for us, there is little reason for them to deny such request. After all, the crown of Denmark is not only a victory for our ruler but also for the entire our dynasty dynasty.
	A large flagship to spearhead our naval forces would make our foes and rivals tremble in fear! The time to claim our naval superiority is nigh!
	As our vast industrial holdings grow, demand for fuel grows ever higher as mechanized industry takes shape around our nation. Increase the supply of refined materials.
	A prosperous nation is wealthy not only in its values, but also in real wealth. Making sure that we have the necessary tools to look after our people is another of our duties.
	There are two kinds of people in this world. We, as Earth People, must take care of our land and respectfully use the resources that have been given to us. It is our duty to maintain the balance between humans and Mother Nature.
	Many exotic goods have their origin in the Indian subcontinent. The European powers have been benefiting from the trade with India for many years by now. It is time for us to get on equal footing with them and establish our own trade company in India.
	We have been blessed with a rich soil in which our crops can grow splendidly. Seeds would grow as fast as children and their liveliness would be no smaller than theirs. Taking care of our crops means taking care of our community.

	The eastern frontier of Christendom is a fragile one, constantly shifting to and fro. We should help stabilize this front, even if it means making friends with those on the wayward side of the Great Schism.
	The lands of the Lithuanians, Poles, and Ruthenes are a fragmented place, split between believers of the Catholic faith and those that follow Orthodox teachings. We should do all that we can to support the efforts of the Catholic powers there in spreading the true faith.
	Rumors tell of a great continent to the east ripe for exploration and exploitation. We should charter an expedition and confirm the veracity of these rumors.
	The riches of India are vast and highly desirable. To conquer and rule India would be an arduous task. Much better to establish superiority by linking the Indian economies to our trade and by successfully protecting the frontier.
