	Our interests cannot be protected from our nation alone. We must have eyes and ears everywhere, reporting about the flow of trade abroad and the welfare of our merchants. Although some in our capital may call us 'barmy' for being so concerned about trade, it is only through meticulous records and a steady flow of knowledge that we can keep our competitive edge.
	Foreign powers have tried to manipulate the fate of Sweden for a while now. The Kalmar Union is one of such examples which is still stuck in our collective mind.\nNow that we are no longer somebody else's minion our time has come to be the ones who influence the European stage of politics and power.
	Trading only for economic purposes shows greed and selfishness. What our people could need to survive, we already have, and we have effortlessly lived for generations past. To accept these foreign offers, bounds need to be created. The secrets of our richness shall not be easily disclosed.
	Having improved our system of governance, we must now shift our focus on choosing a path for our Empire to follow. Centralization, the delegation of local authority to individual figures and the promotion of dynastic members to positions of power are but few of the paths our great Emperor may choose to follow.

	The Roman Province of Africa has long been a core territory of the Roman Empire. Upon the Empire's division, it would in no less than a century fall under the rule of the Vandals. It would once again be brought to Roman Lands thanks to Justinian's ambitions. Then it would fall to the Caliphate in 7th century.
	Eric Gryf, once great King of Denmark and sovereign ruler of Scandinavia... When the nobles of the Kalmar Union collectively decided to depose him, his nephew Christoph III von Wittelsbach took the throne of the Union. Ever since, a foreigner rules over the Scandinavian lands. Without finesse; without any sense of competence.\n\nIt is time to hang the false king in his own capital, and take over the throne of Denmark once and for all.
	Even a united Bavaria cannot stand against Austria or Bohemia on its own. We must expand our core territories and bring our weaker neighbors under our rule.
	We should look eastwards to the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa for our first conquests, for the native kingdoms are far too weak to resit our rule.
	Southern India is renowned for its production of textiles and spices. We must ensure that we are using the most modern techniques to maximize the quantity of goods we are able to export.
	With most of the Garjat tribes now securely under our rule, we should expand further into the inland jungles, subjugating any people we find along the way whether they be tribal Garjats, imperious Sultans, or venerable Maharajas.
	Over the generations, the people of Bavaria have been filled with a great yearning for the fresh sea breeze of the Adriatic coastline. Now, our nation is in a position to acquire such territories for our our nation. We must seize Venetia and Carniola for ourselves!
	The Polish territories of Wielkopolska and Kuyavia are fertile and highly developed. They also serve as sources of manpower for Poland, which uses these people to fight us. We should conquer these lands for our own good.
	The centuries have divided the Upper Saxons and Lower Saxons. If the Upper Saxons were to be united, they would be strong - strong enough perhaps to challenge us. We must therefore make use of their divisions to reunite the old stem duchy of Saxony under our own banner.
	Tawantinsuyu has tried to expand into the wooded and wet east numerous times to limited success. When conquered, the Inca mostly bartered with the locals for exotic feathers and honey.
	Jeddah is the principal port of Mecca and a necessary stop for anyone committing to Hajj by sea. Expanding this city will make the Holy City more accessible and will help the economics of our humble state.
	Poland has long been a relatively safe haven for European Jews. The Kazimierz district of Krakow is home to the largest and most industrious Jewish community in our nation; we must extend to them the hand of friendship to bring prosperity to us all.
	The wars against Poland and Lithuania between 1409 and 1411 and between 1431 and 1435 decimated our military and put us into a weakened state for the next inevitable war with Poland. We need to expand our army and conscript new recruits as soon as possible.
	The borders of our state are not big enough to encompass our grand destiny, we must expand them and make use of all the resources available in them to fulfil our dreams of a secure and prosperous future.
	Korea is a largely rural country with few sizeable cities. Indeed, compared to the great cities of neighboring China, even the largest of Korea's cities seems merely a provincial town. If we are to be taken seriously as an ascendant power, we must change this state of affairs.
	Our enemies are relentless and unending, only by eliminating them one by one and becoming stronger at their expense will we be able to tackle the bigger threats. Expanding our territory is just the first step in our path to glory.
	Having secured our domestic situation, we must now look outwards and bring the surrounding regions under our control. The banner of the eagle will soon fly over all of Mashriq!
	Our core territories in the Rhineland-Palatinate are among the largest territorial states in this part of Germany. However, they are nevertheless somewhat puny compared to those of stronger despots elsewhere. We must expand our holdings and build up our strength so that we can become a dominant force in the Empire.
	Most empires rely on brute force on the battleground, on insidious diplomatic intrigues, or on royal marriages of dynasty members to expand their borders.\nSuch methods, while having their right to exist, are practices of civilizations that did not embrace their culture as a tool for their foreign policies. We, on the other hand, shall expand our influence not through cannon fire and knives in the back, but through our poetry and carpets.
	We have been given a strong and viable country by those that came before us. It is time we expand upon our legacy and grow our nation so that we may leave a stronger and more influential country to our children.
	Our capital is the symbol that represents our nation, and where most of our wealth is located. We should improve it and develop it even further, so that it turns into the richest city in the world.
	our nation is one of the most important cities in Prussia next to our nation. Due to its position the city is a remarkable center of trade and attracts merchants, scholars and burghers alike. We should expand the city and make it into our glorious capital.
	Our beliefs and view of the world are clearly the only ones that are true. Anyone that says otherwise is just too blind to see the truth. We must reach out to them if we are to make them see.
	As big as the world is it is still interconnected through a number of vital trade routes. In an ancient order cloth, spices, metals, bullion, Chinaware and all kind of manufactured goods are brought across deserts and oceans to those who would pay the most for them. Taking a share of this trade, through acquiring useful ports in trade regions far abroad, could make even the smallest power richer than Croesus.
	Hindustan is a major center for the textile industry, producing a great deal of India's cloth and silk. Investing in modern production methods would boost our economy greatly.
	Northern India is a major center for the textile industry, producing vast quantities of silk, cloth, and cotton. Investing in efficient production methods would significantly boost our economy.
	The command of the seas must remain firmly under the grasp of the Hanseatic Admiralty. Developing a mighty Navy and expanding Lubeckian docks would attract better and more capable men to sprearhead our fleet.
	While the Cape of Good Hope serves mostly to centralize the goods coming from India and Asia, it is still part of Africa - a continent with worthwhile opportunities in its own right. We should expand our horizon and establish our trade dominance in the other markets of Africa.
	The lands of Jutland are fertile and have nourished the Danish population for centuries with grain, livestock and its rich sources of fish. As the rest of Scandinavia is less suited for agriculture, it is of great importance that we develop Jutland to supply the rest of our country.
	The city of Lübeck is no small farm town. Part of it was especially developed to facilitate the activities of a large number of merchants from all across Europe. Building a proper marketplace and expanding the Old City would definitely improve our hold on the Lübeck home node.
	Wars are an extension of diplomacy. Unfortunately, the foolish monarchs of Europe speak only the language of violence, so war is the only diplomacy they understand.\nFor that we must assure a strong and vast military in order for us to speak.
	The Battle of Wiłkomierz in 1435 was a wake-up call for us as it costed us the lives of our Landmeister and several high-ranking knights. We must prepare our forces and expand our armies to avoid another Wiłkomierz tragedy for our state.
	The Venetian Arsenal is a venerable and key institution, responsible for the construction and maintenance of our serene state's respectable fleet. In these fluid times, it is more important than ever to make sure that the Arsenal is up to the task, by commissioning a new series of ships that will strengthen our navy and ensure our maritime supremacy for years to come.

	The river mouth in our nation is known throughout our realm as the beating heart of profitable business and the ferrying of valuable goods and grain. We must tirelessly work towards expanding it in order to accommodate higher volumes of goods for the growing needs of our people.

	Flemish towns are already prosperous and populous, but our neighbors' cities are rapidly growing. We must help our cities grow further, lest our nation become a backwater.
	Swabia is divided and vulnerable, ripe for conquest by the great Imperial powers. We should bring Swabia into the protective embrace of the Confederacy.
	The Doge's Palace has been built, renovated, and rebuilt many times over the centuries. A further expansion, more ornate than any other in our realm's history, would do much to bolster the standing of the office and our nation as a whole.
