	Goal	Key
	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.
	With our independence now secured, we must find a way to expand the our domain. Thankfully we have centuries worth of dynastic claims on the surrounding land, which we must exploit to the fullest extent.
	Crucial part for the treasury of any state is the security of a steady flow of income. Some governments achieve it through taxes or through looting.\nWe, on the other hand, achieve it through our trade in the Baltic sea. Let us expand our merchant fleet in order to protect our dominance in the Baltic Sea.
	Italy has always been torn between great Empires. The region, once a de facto part of the Holy Roman Empire, must lie securely within our grasp, lest we risk its alliance with our political and military opposition.
	South to the Panama is the region of New Granada - or at least that is what the Spaniards like to call it. What actually exists within this jungle and hills is unknown to us, but it is our duty to expand our frontier down south and discover what secrets South America holds for us.
	Although our domestic opponents have been subdued, it is important that we keep these lords in check. Building a new system of roads and way stations would help make the daimyos' domains easier to reach from the capital and boost local commerce along those routes in the process.
	The Great Wall has protected our people for generations. In order to ensure its continuous effectiveness we must ascertain its condition and corroborate an effort to modernize and expand its reach in a bid to shield our commoners from the bloodthirsty claws of outsiders.
	The core of our population resides in China. We should use them to expand the Chinese part of our army in order to conquer our neighbors.
	The power and prestige of a Muslim ruler can be measured by the size of his harem and the nobility of its occupants. We must establish marriage alliances with other dynasties to bind them to us by blood and ensure that all the nations of India treat us with respect.
	The Korean Peninsula has become too confining for our people. By settling new territories, we can enlarge our people's homeland and ensure that Korean culture will not be lost to the currents of history and the sands of time.
	Our clan's domain supports all our political efforts. Though it may have sufficed for previous generations, it is not lucrative enough to fund all our ambitions. We must expand our powerbase!
	The Leidang conscription has served us well in the past. But it is getting dated by the decades. We should reform and expand the Leidang so it can keep up with other modern forms of conscription.
	Our capital has always been a center for commerce. We should expand our marketplaces to encourage it even further and increase the wealth that flows into it.
	We have many enemies such as the Holy Roman Empire to our South, the English to our West and the Republic of Novgorod to our East and, worst of all, Sweden in the North.We should build our land and naval forces and prepare them for the worst to come.
	Denmark and Sweden might be our defenders while we are under the umbrella of the Kalmar Union, but they are no forces we should rely on forever. We need an army of our own to defend our borders from our ambitious neighbors.
	The mining towns of Upper Hungary have been a stable source of income for our country. Let us refine the coin minting process in the royal mint to ensure that our ducats are of the highest quality, so that they may flood the European markets.
	Only by having a complete dominance of the sea can we aspire to be successful. We must build more ships to ensure that no other nation is able to oppose our fleets.
	While Taiz may be the political capital of Yemen, Aden is the economic one, traditionally fulfilling the position of an important Entrepot and center. Let us end the war zone in Yemen and reattract confidence in the markets within the city and soon we shall reap benefits from its wealth again.
	As we expand we must ensure that we can truly integrate the new lands we conquer into our administrative apparatus. After conquest comes the hard work of establishing true our Rule over the conquered territories.
	We live and die by our ability to project our power over the sea. We must prepare our nation for the construction and expansion of the Royal Navy.
	Some countries use diplomacy to enforce their will. Others prefer to use brute force in form of a strong military.\nWe, on the other hand, shall use the sea and our navy to achieve our goals. But we need a navy which can project our power in the first place.
	The origins of our dynasty are humble, yet impressive in its own right. Starting as Safaviyya in Ardabil, the cunning leaders of this Sufi order reformed it into a militant organization that shall later establish our empire.\nAs its leader, it is imperative that we expand the influence of the Safavid Order within our borders.
	The Sound Toll is one if not the most important source of income for the Danish crown. It ensures the royal independence from the nobility, and grants us an iron grip on the trade flow between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. It would be wise to expand the Sound Toll by constructing additional naval batteries and markets where merchants have to pay their toll.
	The Pope's Swiss Guards are a point of great pride in our nation. We should improve our relationship with the Holy Father and seek to aid him in battle.
	Our navies help protect our serene state from seaborne attacks, but our landward defenses are sorely lacking. Our best hope is to establish more buffer territories, and give our enemies something to fight through before they can reach the capital.

	In order to increase our wealth, we have to become the center of the region's trade. Our merchants shall never rest.
	The previous Visconti Dukes of Milan fought many wars to control the borderlands of Emilia-Romagna. However, these wars were ultimately in vain and the cities of Ferrara and Bologna still defy us. We must break down their resistance.
	The Gujarati Sultanate has, until recently, served as the ultimate beneficent and sponsor of a large and vast trade network centered in its Gulf of Khambhat. Let us continue serving as protectors for those merchants and have the markets flourish once more.
	The lands upriver from Nantes are as wealthy as they are disputed, with its strong castles and fertile farmlands often fought over by the armies of France, England and others. Now, perhaps, is the moment to stake our own claim to these lands and expand our power in France, so that we may no longer be a lesser power to be ignored in the struggle for supremacy in Paris.
	Our neighbors, the Welfs of Brunswick, Askaniers of Anhalt and Bishops of Magdeburg, would pounce at the slightest sign of weakness on our part. We should bring them into our our nation.
	Although Tenochtitlan and the cities around have been secured, the core of Mexico has yet to submit to our rule. It is time we change that.
	The City of Tenochtitlan is on the rise as of late. With many new citizens moving in and taking to the streets, buying and selling goods, mastering their professions, and bringing prosperity. We shall aid these new people wishing to make a living in this city.
	With our rule in China and Persia, we can bring the Silk Road new prosperity. By creating more trade centers along the road, and protecting it from any looters who may wish to disturb it, we can make a profit from it.
	We should launch a military expedition to Tondo, beginning a Champa maritime empire.
	The Black Death was a tragedy for all of Europe, and our realm was not spared by its gruesome hand. In 1349 the plague killed a third of our population and completely decimated the Norwegian nobility. This power vacuum attracted of course the Danish nobles, who replaced over time the ruling class of Norway.\nOur fate will always be in the hands of the Danes as long our own nobility is a stranger to our country. Their privileges need to be revoked, their land needs to be seized!
	The European powers are unwanted invaders in Nusantara. We will not be forced into unequal trade deals or accept their deceitful promises of protection. We will drive them out.
	For far too long these foreign merchants from far away lands have taken advantage of our hospitable and generous ways. It is time we seize control of our markets and rid ourselves of all these leeches.
	The Adriatic and Aegean Seas are overrun with Italian merchants profiting from the uneasy situation in the Balkans. We must drive these profiteers out of the region and expand our own realm.
	Much of the eastern coast is controlled by the Jabrid dynasty, a Shi'ite dynasty whose ambitions extend all the way into the south and west. Let us curb their power before we become their targets.
	Though the former Muslims of Andalucia claim to be faithful Christians, we believe that they continue to hold on to their heathen faith in secret. We must root out all traces of impiety and expel from Spain all those who are suspect.
	The Sunni Muslims make up the vast majority of our neighbors and Islam as a whole. If we are to spread Zaidism, we will need to evict their governments and ensure they will be forced to accept our superiority.
	The coffee of Yemen is one of the most profitable goods of Arabia. As traders, it would only be fair if we were to exploit this, and tried to increase the production of this good.

	By raiding the transatlantic slave traders we shall bolster our own numbers and show all slaving tyrants that a pirate's life is free!
	The West India Company, finally formed after protracted discussions on funding, intends to focus on the establishment of trade routes between the West Indies and our heartland. We should chart the region, and earmark suitable land.
	The Caribbean could be an excellent place to set up colonies - we just need to know what's there, first.
	The African continent is unmeasured in its true size. Many adventurers and explorers went out to see its true size, yet very few have ever returned. We must discover what lies south from the Ivory Coast and establish settlements in the new areas.
	India has proved to be a great source of riches. Who knows what other lands could lay beyond the ocean, waiting to be exploited? We must make an effort to explore the ocean in search of those possible sources of even more wealth.
	Our fledgling maritime empire has grown much since its inception. Now it is time to assert our dominance on the seas.
