	Goal	Key
	It is no longer enough that our subjects are just barely kept from defying us. It is time to enforce true loyalty.
	Westphalia and the Rhineland in their current state are little more than a series of inconsequential micro-nations. If we are to claim sovereignty and have that claim taken seriously by foreign powers, then we must expand out influence in our home region.
	Delegating the relations and responsibilities is vital if we are to achieve stability and prosperous growth. To facilitate this development, we must create a high court of appeal for the aristocracy of the nation.
	Few foreigners know to navigate to Australia to exploit her riches, but the Makassarians know that we are rich and worthy of a trade voyage. These Makassar bring with them strange Stories of foreign gods, and we stand to learn much from their insight into the Dreaming.
	The European powers seem to have an insatiable need for the spices from Indonesia. They are ready to pay ludicrous prices which would be unthinkable within our state. We should expand our overseas influence and siphon some of the profit from the spices for ourselves.
	In 1434 and in 1436, brave Swedish miners and peasants, led by the nobleman Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson, raised their pickaxes and pitchforks in hope of freeing Sweden from the foul influence of the Danes. But of course, the rebellion broke apart when Engelbrekt was assassinated.\nWhile his rebellion might have failed, its spirit still lives on in our people. It is time to raise troops who are ready to fight for the independence of our country!
	When the time comes to rid ourselves of the French menace to our west, the English would be our natural ally. We should consider securing their allegiance.
	The alliance between England and Portugal has stood for generations, and must continue to do so for many generations to come.
	Traveling monks have been hard at work in their attempt to show Nepal the way of the Buddha. We must assist their efforts by incorporating the Nepali people into our state.

	Everything for the people, nothing by the people.
	A ruler is only as good as their wisdom, vision and authority can allow them to be. our ruler might have a divine right to rule over our nation, but this sovereignty must be supported by the ideas of Absolutism and Vision for the future.
	The King is not simply a mortal man, but a beacon of divine enlightenment. We must ensure that the reach of the state is long enough to extend his enlightenment to all of our subjects.
	The territories we control have increased in recent years. We need to ensure that all of our subjects are properly baptized and evangelized in the one true Catholic faith, as that is our main mission and duty.
	Through our conquests we have become the undisputed masters of Southern India and the large majority of trade ports through which foreigners come to seek Indian goods. We must capitalize on this position and further grow as the trading nation we were meant to be.
	We have finally found the fabled Kingdom of Prester John! The lands of Abyssinia, as we have discovered, are inhabited by many faithful Christians eager to receive our aid against the enemies at their doorstep. We should protect and embolden our distant brothers of the faith.
	Our decision to remain loyal to the only true faith pleased the Pope. However, due to the Reformation the Papal State stands with few allies. We should secure an alliance with the Holy See and secure the Curia for our faithful ones.
	Our enemies are many, and they seek to seize what is rightfully ours. Despite our magnificent strength, faraway empires seek to rival and depose us, we cannot allow them our spot in history!
	Mali has outlived its time. It is an act of mercy to put this pathetic realm out of its misery and integrate its population into our own, rightful empire!
	The Muslims around us have ceased to serve their purpose for us and have started to become a nuisance. We must get rid of them completely to make space for our own glorious expansion.
	Our battles with the hordes have shown that infantry is no longer feasible to maintain in these large, empty steppes. We need to adapt our army once again, and establish a large cavalry for our order so that we can keep pace with the savage hordes.
	The increasing demands on our military to defend and increase our territorial holdings necessitate the establishment of a strong standing army, a Bavarian national force that can stand alone without needing to be supplemented by unreliable mercenaries.
	Trade is flowing constantly through our waters. If we want to take advantage of it we need to build a fleet that allows us to control it.
	The Norwegian and the Danes are experts of the Sea while we are a battle hardened people on the land. Still, it is undeniable that a trade fleet is more than needed if we want to ensure wealth and economical stability for our our nation.
	The our state can only extend itself so far. We should establish client states so that we can rule greater swathes of territory without the need to overextend our administration.
	Despite our attempts to install meritocratic jurisprudent procedures, with the creation of courts spearheaded by the Sejmiks, it has become apparent that these forums of law have degraded into just another tool for the nobility's expansion of influence with many nobles disregarding or ignoring rulings. It is up to us to weed out this corruption and establish a healthy legal process across our realm.
	We must not ignore the spiritual goals of our conquest of the New World; we are here not only for profit, but for the sake of enlightening the heathen peoples who call this land home. To that end we should invite Jesuit priests to establish missions in Brazil, educating the natives in the way of God so that they will abandon their savage customs.
	The verdant landscape of South America should make an excellent site for a new colonial venture.

	Managing a large population and a massive military is a monumental task to contend with. Let us establish a new rank in our forces that will handle recruitments and regiments.
	A strong empire needs a strong currency. We must establish a series of towns with the infrastructure and authorization to mint coins to fill our coffers.
	Whilst a horde is not known for trading, the Mongols have had a tradition of bringing prosperity to traders who were part of their empire. That, combined with the profit it may bring us, entices many minor tribal leaders to protect these caravans.
	Our prestige and fame would be truly second to none if we would establish an annual festival to the glory of our nation, celebrating the magnificence of its rulers, the fairness of its people, the swiftness of its horses and the taste of its beers.
	India is a very lucrative region for merchants and traders from all of Europe - ours included. Naturally, it is necessary to have some kind of access to this rich subcontinent.\nOur advisors suggest that we... acquire some key ports in India so that our merchants can have a place for their activities.
	Now that we control an unending source of African slaves, we can forge them into an army. We should secure the supply of slaves and establish camps to train them as soldiers. Without any tribal loyalty, they will serve the state with absolute dedication.
	our nation cannot rely entirely on the skill of the our ruler. Our nation needs a reliable cabinet of ministers so that the governance of the state can be properly delegated, and those ministers must have a strong leader to organize their efforts. We should establish the office of Chancellor to provide this leadership.

	We require a grand navy in order for our our nation to project power outside of Russia. The economic and military future of the state depends on our fleet.
	We should establish an elite corps of soldiers to guard the monarch and act as the military arm of the Maison du Roi. With its membership reserved for the upper classes, these regiments will encourage the aristocracy to seek careers in the military.
	The title of Pasha is a high civil rank in our political and military system, granted to governors and generals. As our empire grows the assignment of new Pashas is crucial to maintain and govern our conquered territory.
	The Tsar cannot rule alone. The state must be divided into a series of executive offices, or Prikaz, to aid the Tsar's rule and organize his government.
	We are in need of powerful and loyal warriors to defend our people from our many foes. By establishing a new corps of troops loyal to our leaders, we will ensure our sovereignty from internal and external threats.
	While the military represents our power to execute our diplomacy through force, it is also the guard which protects us from others trying to exercise their geopolitical demands on us. However, it also has an additional function which is protecting the our ruler so that the our dynasty our nation will not find a premature end.\nWe should establish a military branch completely dedicated to the safety of the our ruler.
	The safeguarding of our teachings and the cultural, as well as religious, identity of our people should be our prime responsibility. By establishing a militant order we will secure strong foundations for our people.
	The Livonian lands are home to the Hanseatic cities, the pious bishoprics and our Order. Naturally, internal disputes and conflicts are inevitable. Archbishop Ambundii initialized the first gathering of the Landtag - the Livonian Diet - in order to resolve these issues in 1419.\nHowever, the old diet is dated and does not cover all affairs of the state. It is time to abolish the old Landtag and establish a proper State Diet for our country.
	The Honorable East India Company is asking for our permission to establish trade in India. A powerful parliamentary lobby backs them and there are sure to be benefits to the crown.
	We have supplanted the Ming, and thus the nations of the world must acknowledge us as their new overlords. Re-establishing the imperial tributaries will be a difficult task, and some may, foolishly, be too enamored with their newfound independence to submit peacefully.
	The Etchmiadzin Cathedral, a beacon of our faith and our history, has stood tall amidst trials and tribulations, bearing witness to the resilience of the Armenian people. But time and conflict have left their marks on this sacred edifice. The cathedral, like our nation, yearns for restoration and revival.
	With many religions under our empire, we must further strengthen our efforts for internal peace. A peace that will bring eternal harmony in our realm.
