	Goal	Key
	Our rulers formally claim the title of Emperors and Autocrats of all the East, of the Iberians and of Perateia. It is time we press these claims and establish a permanent rule over the region of the Caucasus; be it via diplomacy or by force.
	Whilst our ruler may be a great leader, there are many assassins and many battlefields that try to claim their life. By building up an elite bodyguard of men, the Keshigs, we can make sure that our ruler survives in any conflict that may arise.
	To reverse the downfall of our nation, we must first see to the restoration of our military. We must establish a fighting force capable of not only protecting our state from its foes but also of overcoming our enemies on the battlefield and expanding the influence of the Komnenid realm.
	The Gangetic plain is one of the most fertile places on earth and has always been the heartland of any Northern Indian empire. In this regard we are no different than our predecessors. We must conquer the entire plains region before we can expand our Hindustani Empire.
	With the Imperial Reforms passed, the numerous princes now see us as what we are: the true successors of Rome. Rather than being mere successors to the legacy of the Western Empire, we can finally lay claim to the once great and ancient Empire.
	With the end of the Ottoman Empire, a new question has arisen: what about the legacy of the Eastern Roman Empire? We should lay claim to it so that we may further legitimize our title as Emperors.
	Expanding our power by force and through conquest is one aspect of a functional empire. However, the path of warfare is not possible if the core region of said empire is not functional.\nScandinavia has suffered lack of development and infrastructure for long enough. It is time to establish an unparalleled powerbase in the High North of Europe!
	The Junkers, minor nobles, wield great influence in our nation. We must organize them and regulate their power so that they serve the interests of the state.
	Rice has always been the base of our economic system. In recent years, some groups of our merchants have started establishing storehouses to store daimyo's rice in exchange for a fee. They use receipts for it and have also started lending out loans. It is a system that shows great potential for benefits, we should encourage it and be the ones that reap those benefits.
	Cities are the new engines of economic growth. For us to prosper, we must ensure that our cities - and our capital, most of all - are teeming with trade and industry. If we end up pulling in a few too many workers for our new markets and mills, we can just use them to fill out our ranks.
	As our economy continues to grow, the merchant classes have inevitably grown in wealth and power. Although officially they are at the bottom of the social ladder, it's hard to look down on people so rich and so financially adept. Perhaps it is time we actively supported these merchants, and helped them develop these... what should we call these mercantile conglomerates? 'Zaibatsu'?
	The Germans cast a long shadow over our lands. Their so-called 'Empire' has time and again meddled in the affairs of the Balkans, and their kings and dukes and counts covet our lands. No more! We shall push the Germans back, and show them all that Serbia is not to be trifled with.
	The weakness of the Catholic forces led to the loss of the Holy Land to the Saracens. However, we are determined to learn from their mistakes and emerge triumphant in our quest to restore the Levant under the righteous rule of the once proud religious icon. With unwavering determination, we will rectify the past failures, reclaiming the holy sites and reinstating the dominance of our faith in the region. Our resolute efforts shall serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, ensuring that the light of the Holy Cross shines brightly once again in the lands of the Levant.
	Our relationship with Arakan is complex. Sometimes our nominal subjects, at other times a thorn in our side. At present Arakan is the latter. Its rulers allow pirates to plunder the sea and the coast as they please, disrupting our trade. We must stamp out the pirates and restore the rule of law over Arakan.
	While we respect Genoa's rights, its privileged position as one of the preeminent trading emporiums in the Mediterranean has throttled our own mercantile efforts. For the sake of our economy, Genoa must be brought to heel.
	The Kingdom of Portugal has controlled the rich western coast of Iberia for too long. Much of this territory once rightfully lay in the hands of our ancestors, and must be reclaimed. Word has it that they are seeking new conquests in far-flung lands - perhaps we could use this opportunity as pretext to investigate further.
	Ever since we can remember, the Manchu have posed a threat to the Korean people. We have recently turned the tide on them, pushing back the frontier deep into their homelands. It is time to make sure that they will never rise again.
	Jungles and mountains obstruct the path to Manipur, though these obstacles have given Manipuri raiders little pause. We must cross this harsh terrain and put an end to the indiscriminate looting of Burma.
	In our early days before the proclamation of the our nation, our state struggled with the Rurikovich of Muscovy. While they are no longer an active threat to us, their very existence is an offense for what the our culture stand for.
	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, or else we will be forced to repeat the violence of the past.
	There is only one way to understand the Quran and the Hadith and it is ours. Let us make sure all of the Yemeni follow suit.
	Though we have reached a resolution with the trade guilds, there is still resistance to our rule among the Tamil people. We must deal with the migrating Vaduga people and the warlord Chellappa.
	The great dragon that is China looms ominously over the Tibetan Plateau. We must ensure that no Chinese empire is strong enough to pose a threat our emerging power. If necessary, we could even seize from them the Mandate of Heaven!
	The Livonian Confederacy is a network of a number of bishoprics within the lands of the Livonian Order. De jure they are nobody's subject. De facto, however, they are occupying space in the Livonian Order, which has become a vassal of ours. If we want to utilize our new knightly subject to its fullest potential we have to end this confederacy.
	Either through diplomacy of through the sword, the rebelling Eyalets need to be reined in!
	The north of China is the seat and origin of the Chinese Empire. Its emperors had in the past the gall of calling themselves our superiors. It is high time we end their farce of an Empire and occupy their ancestral heartland.
	Be it through victory over the French and claiming their throne, or by abandoning continental Europe and taking a bigger a focus on the navy: our conflict with France and the continent must find an end one way or another.
	Switzerland will not truly be safe until the last of the Habsburgs has been eradicated.
	Sweden has been subsumed under the crown of Denmark for too long. It should strive towards independence so that it may develop and expand on its own terms.
	The region of Persia has been ruled by numerous empires, being the last one the Timurids, the insidious force which laid waste to the hills of Anatolia. Even though the power of the Timurids is not what it used to be, a new empire might rise in this region; a new Persian lion which will try to dismantle us. We must strike first and end the threat to our eastern flank once and for all.
	The conflict between the various Hussite factions and those loyal to the Church of Rome has reached an uneasy settlement. Uncertainty in the line of succession is once again creating tensions between the religious factions. We must resolve the matter of succession and take a firm stance on the issue of religious orthodoxy.
	For too long, Christendom has been divided over petty differences in faith. The Popes saw little reason to heal it, and the fools of the Byzantine Empire were too busy getting conquered by Muslims. It is up to us to heal this schism and end this heresy.
	For too long, Christendom has been divided over petty differences in faith. If, however, faithful princes were able to install pious Catholic men in the sees of Orthodoxy's most respected patriarchates, we could make a serious case for the end of the Great Schism.
	Japan is home to wild warriors, power hungry lords and a war-like spirit that led to the dawn of the Sengoku Jidai era. We cannot tolerate such rowdy and dangerous behavior so close to our shores and thus must take action to secure the island for ourselves either directly or indirectly.
	When the Mongols laid waste to the Pagan Kingdom of old, the Shan Saophas filled the power vacuum. Uncivilized and unworthy to rule even their rugged hills, their grasp over Burma must be put to an end.
	Trade with our Black Sea colonies is dwindling to a trickle while our merchants are taxed nearly to death when passing the Bosphorus. We need to, somehow, convince whoever controls the Bosphorus to grant concessions for Genoa.
	The Great Schism has divided Western and Eastern churches for centuries. The head of the Eastern Church had traditionally been the Patriarch of Constantinople, but after the Ottoman advance on the Byzantine capital, the spiritual center of the Orthodox communities has progressively moved to the Russian lands. We now have the opportunity to bring that flock back to the fold of the one true faith, healing the wound that has divided the Catholic Church for centuries.
	Our march into Anatolia has not ended yet. As long as any Turkish empire has a foothold beyond the Bosporus, the our our nation is under their threat. We shall drive them to Europe and secure our security with their blood.
	The ghost of dynasties past is clinging to life in the lands of the Mongols. We must venture west and extinguish their name from the books of history.
	It is time to take the fight to our enemy. Skanderbeg's rebellion shall become the beginning of a Crusade, uniting the peoples of the Balkans against a common foe.
	Perhaps one of the most known defeats in our military history is the one against the Divine Wind of Japan. An entire navy and entire armies were wiped out without the Japanese even lifting a finger, as the storms destroyed any vessels that were unfortunate to dare invade. However, as divine as this wind is, we are the Mongols, and we shall conquer even the mightiest of storms.

	We were driven out of China by the rebellious Ming and lost the Mandate of Heaven. We must reforge the empire of Kublai Khan and take back the Mandate!

	The goods that flow through the domain of our nation do so under a tariff and a toll. This is very bad for our bottom line and must be dealt with.
	Hormuz and their city have always blocked commerce for any foreign vessels, which allows them to control who wins and who loses in maritime trade. Let's make sure their island is reduced to nothing but wasteland so that we may once again be free traders.
	Poland and Lithuania are fated to share a destiny, whether the Poles know it or not. Our nations must be united under one ruler, one true king.
