	What does wealth mean if it cannot be used? The great powers of this world have their grand armies and their vast empires, but their power is limited by their treasury. We shall exploit this, and turn the great powers into puppets of our wealth.
	The guilds of Lübeck are the life-blood of our economy. We must make the necessary amends to make sure they are properly funded across our Trade League.
	The bulk of the country's production is done and controlled by the most powerful and influential of the merchant families. We must close our ties to them, financing the expanding and development of production, so that we can reap even more benefits.
	Our situation is precarious with Lithuania, Novgorod and the Scandinavians at our doorstep. We should find strong allies as soon as possible so potential invaders have to think twice before they dare attack us.
	The Finnish court must be known as frugal and responsible. We cannot build a credible reputation in the financial markets of our region without tending to our fiscal ledgers and making sure that our finances are just fine.
	We have successfully spread the teachings of the Prophet, but there are still some people that don't believe in them. We must convince them all to become a true caliphate.
	Finland has been part of our our nation since the the 13th century. It was integrated into our realm, and the Finns gained their right to vote for the elected King of Sweden (as it happened with the election of Margarete I in 1388). Still, the relations between our people could be improved even further as the Finns are a valuable asset to our interests. We should develop the Finnish lands as a sign of good will.
	The hwacha is a multiple rocket launcher developed by our engineers capable of firing 100 rockets at a time - devastating against dense infantry formations. By expanding our arsenal of hwachas and deploying them in our armed forces, we can ensure that the terrifying barrage our formidable firepower can unleash is renowned - and feared - across the Far East.
	Industrial complexes across our land produce tremendous amounts of goods. As we delve into the era of Industrialization, we must further make sure that our factories are properly funded as well as developed.
	Burma has been disunited and weak since the fall of the Pagan Kingdom. Order must be restored, and a new empire must rise to replace the old.
	After having allied with other tribes, it has become evident that political strength can also be reached by means of peace. Being the leaders of our own Federation will grant us a prominent position.
	The administration of maritime affairs and ensuring that our naval communities are occupied by the most skilled individuals, are some of the most important and vital facets of our government.
	The position of regent has traditionally been monopolized by the five houses of the Fujiwara clan. We should turn them to our side and use them for our benefit, or deal with them for good.
	Our homelands are not large, which means it is all the more important to defend what we do have. We must establish a strong garrison system that can protect our beloved country.

	Our towns produce some of the finest and most prolific cloth in Europe, turning the crude sheared wool of farmers into elegant textiles. Yet we are not the only ones to profit from our work - the markets are full of speculators and agents who manipulate trades and ruin our honest craftsmen. If we could secure a greater presence in the local markets, our tradesmen would surely prosper.
	A prestigious and prosperous realm such as ours is primed for a cultural rebirth, a renewed interest in the arts, sciences, and something some people are beginning to call the 'humanities'. We should do all we can to embrace this movement.
	As a people who live by and near the sea, we must continue to hone our mastery of the currents, the ebb and flow that surrounds our coast.
	From its sources in distant Ngari the Brahmaputra river flows through all of Tibet, Arunachal and then descends into India in Assam before joining the Ganges in Bengal. This valley is said to be a rich land, with a people adept at making rice grow even in conditions where that ought to be impossible.\nLet us defy the jungles of the Brahmaputra valley and launch an invasion into Assam, the final part of northern India not yet under our rule.

	The once serene roman Carthage has been reduced to a few squabbling states engaging in piracy. The tolerance for such vile acts has run out.
	The land along the Indus, ruled by Monarchs of Multan and Sindh, is closely associated with Persianate culture. With the population professing belief in Allah, these lands form a natural extension to our territories.
	One of the cradles of civilization that is Mesopotamia is surrounded by strong enemies and lacks natural barriers. Let us ensure that it is no other great power's playground but ours. Persians shall have no say in those matters!
	The fertile plains of Mesopotamia are the birthplace of civilizations. This land is integral to the functioning of all surrounding continents, and whomsoever controls it, controls the flow of wealth in all directions.
	Our food production has reached a level that guarantees the well-being of our people. We could use that extra corn to trade with other tribes.
	The Arkumsite Empire once held territories in South Arabia in the 3rd century. Especially the coastline of areas which are today now associated with Yemen. Like every great achievement of this ancient empire, so, too, fell our foothold in Arabia to the Muslims. The time has come to take it back from them.
	It would be wise to begin our conquest of Greece by establishing a foothold in the south. Whether this is achieved by combatting the heathens directly or by parting other Christian rulers from their holdings does not matter. This land is vital to our crusade.
	If we wish to control the lucrative spice trade we must first establish a foothold in the Malay world. Aceh, the tip of Sumatra, would be an excellent landing site.
	Arming ourselves with vigor, honor and courage in the face of our foes as we charge in the heat of battle is a noble sentiment. However, we need not jump into the jaws of death alone, and perhaps we could find like-minded allies, band together and mutually vanquish our foes!
	As a Great Khan, we need to serve as an example for our people to follow, not only in battle but also in religion. our ruler will spread the our religion faith as far as he can.
	The Russians, too, believe in Christ with Orthodoxy. They too must be brought back to the lap of the Holy See.
	The general lack of manpower and skilled generals is evident. While not beneficial to the general state of the army, hiring foreign officers and their companies could bolster our reserves and staff.
	The forests of Scandinavia are mostly uncharted territory. Apart from the crafty Sami living there, the land is mostly empty of inhabitants due to the harsh winters and the lack of resources.\nHowever, the forests are great hunting grounds for fur, and some have goods like iron in the ground. It might be advisable to expand into the forests, and settle even the harsher parts of Scandinavia.

	If we are to survive and succeed as a nation, the first thing we have to do is to make sure that nobody can destroy us. We need to secure alliances to reduce the threats against us and ensure protectors at the same time.
	Despite appointing loyal subjects and exhibiting the favor of the heavens, the people serving our illustrious Emperor may sometimes fall victims to their human nature. To counteract that, we may go ahead and found spy agencies to keep an eye on our subjects' affairs and internal dealings.

	The need for a proper army, infused with heavy cavalry, is the main factor that will help us further our goals towards seizing political power and centralizing our realm, through the might of a standing army.
	The universal duties of the Church require greater protection than what our levies alone can provide. It would be wise for us to secure a contract with the Swiss to establish a guard for the Pope and for Rome.
	Religious practices are not a formality within our nation. Devoutness and piety are but some of the pillars upon which we will build a great nation, ruled by meritocratic procedures and transparency, tolerance towards others and our fellow believers.
	The rise of our empire has been unprecedented. To account for all of the new subjects that we have acquired, we need to properly reform our administration, introducing the Subahs, where our governors, subahdars, shall help maintain our rule.
	No matter how prosperous our cities or how mighty our armies may be, it is all worth nothing if we cannot defend our nation. To this end, we must ensure that our lands are properly guarded by forts, either captured from our rivals or erected through our own efforts.
	Our lands have time and time again been threatened by heathen expansion, barbaric wrath, and the ill-gotten conquest of foreigners. More than ever, we must transform our docile peasantry's mountainous abodes into conscription centers and castle complexes. The bones of every foolhardy conqueror will be ground to dust against our hallowed peaks.
	The Russians of Muscov have shown their interests in Eastern Europe several times. It is clear that they want to expand westwards and conquer whatever stands in their way. We must fortify the river Dnieper so that we can withstand the Russian onslaught!
	The swampy lands of Florida to the north of New Spain are not rich in gold, but they may prove vital to the future defense of our colonial order. We must settle the region and fortify it.

	The lands of Curonia, Livonia and Estonia are quite flat, and as such they are difficult to protect from invaders. We should construct fortifications in our country to compensate our lack of natural defenses.
