	Goal	Key
	The island of Malta will be an excellent base of operations in our wars against the heathen pirates of Africa. We must convert the island into a great and unassailable fortress.
	Mandu's fortifications are formidable, yet old and weakening. We must invest in our defenses.
	Our capital is the center of our power and as such the most vital part of our country. We must fortify it to strengthen its defense and ensure that it never falls into enemy hands.
	While our lands are not rich, Rajputana is still a region with many strong enemies within close reach. Let us employ the best architects of the era to construct a series of fortifications in the hills of Rajputana, a line that invaders will have a hard time to cross.\nIf these forts can also help us keep our own retainers in check that is but an added benefit.
	The Romanian Principalities are the bulwark of Christendom. Fortifying our borders is our duty to God.
	Our our nation reaches from the Baltic all the way down to the Black Sea. Due to the vastness of our territory we are bordering many potential threats such as the Holy Roman Empire to our west or the Ottoman Turks in the south.
	The Caucasus is the natural border between Europe and Asia in the south. As this mountain range is also the border between our state and the Ottoman Empire it is always at risk of being overrun by the Turks in a moment notice. We should conquer the northern part of the Caucasus and fortify it.
	Our coasts have long been falling victims to senseless piracy, robbing our commoners of their hard-earned labor and, at times, stealing our shoreline locals into slavery. This situation is entirely intolerable and must therefore be addressed in the most drastic way possible.

	The Russian Tsardom to our east has made its hostile intentions against Scandinavia clear on multiple occassions. We have to be proactive, expand eastwards and fortify our borders to the Russians.
	Our location in the north of Italy means we are well-placed to make use of the Alps to form an extra defensive wall. We should channel our inventive energy towards fortifying the borderlands and making sure that our territory is no easy target for conquest.
	The Gangetic Plain is the core of our empire and a land rich beyond the imagination of most kings. Yet it is also an open and vulnerable area for all those that would covet that wealth.\nLet us properly fortify the region so that we can withstand anything from local brigands to invading armies without unnecessary loss of life and wealth.
	While by far not as fertile or wealthy as the riverbank of the Ganges, the Thar Desert still is a geographical asset in India which we shall add to our our nation. After all, once this region is fortified we can assure that our southern-eastern flank is protected while we concentrate our efforts on the rest of India.
	Hormuz may be an island, but it is still vulnerable to being attacked by anyone wishing to destroy us. This, combined with the added benefit of further controlling trade in the region, makes many of our merchants request that we take care of this problem.
	Belgrade is located at the confluence of the Danube and the Sava, one of the most strategic locations in the entire Balkans. It would be foolish to leave such a vital position unguarded, and if it were fortified, the geography surrounding the fortifications would make it virtually impregnable. We must fortify Belgrade!
	Our people have always lived on the defensive, combating external threats with defensive structures, so that in case of a bigger enemy, we have the upper hand. Let us build up more of these fortifications, as well as properly maintain them.
	Our country consists mostly of defendable territory. The Scandes itself is a great wall between us and our overambitious Swedish neighbor. However, mountains alone cannot block trespassers. We should construct additional forts within our realm to secure our borders and protect our people.
	The Madrasa are the primary educational instutions in the Islamic World. Usually built adjacent to mosques, they are the necessary to development of a prosperous Ulema class. It is a defining feature of a prosperous Muslim ruler to fund such.
	Although the Parliament sees this act with suspicion and fear, the recent wars as well as the threat of the Civil War have shown the need for a standing army under the command of the our ruler. We cannot let our nation be left unprotected in case of an enemy invasion.
	our nation traditionally never had any kind of army. At best, there was the Royal Guard, which ensured the safety of our our ruler, but otherwise we always had to rely on a unprofessional peasant army.\nWhile it worked in the past, it is not a solid strategy for the future. We need to establish a permanent army.
	It would be easy to forget that the White Sea is a navigable and potentially profitable trading route, at least for those months that the sea is not frozen over. We should found a new city on its shore, Arkhangelsk, so we can begin exploring the potential of this region.
	Our growing presence in the East Indies requires a nearby administrative center, where our merchants can be protected by our guns and our ships can safely dock.
	We have begun to hold court in southern Wallachia, establishing a small settlement there as our informal Summer capital. We should formalize this move and invest in the city's infrastructure.
	A mighty nation needs a mighty capital - one that would reflect its power, splendor, and glory. We shall unite the towns of Buda, Obuda, and Pest into Budapest - a worthy capital that would dwarf even the metropolises of Western powers.
	Our crusade shall not only bring the people of Eastern Europe to the true faith, but should also ensure that they stick to the Catholic ways. As such, it is imperative that every single village, as petty as it might appear, has a church in the name of the Pope.
	The Compagnie des Marchands are asking for financial supports to help establish bases in the Caribbean. They say the honor of France demands it.
	Cuba is the largest of the Caribbean islands and the one with the most abundant supply of native slaves to work our plantations. We must establish colonies there, and build a city in the natural harbor of the Havana Bay.
	Cuba is the largest of the Caribbean islands and the one with the most abundant supply of native slaves to work our plantations. We must establish colonies there, and build a city in the natural harbor of the Havana Bay.
	Across the Atlantic lies a land much like our own. To colonize it and bring it into the Breton nation would be the only natural course of action.
	Let us found a new city and a new capital for our state. Despite the harsh terrain, the city shall be the one stopping point between the Hajj pilgrims travelling from Iraq to Mecca.
	For the longest time the only empire in the Horn was the infidel state of Ethiopia. This has changed however. The Ethiopians are defeated, the Horn of Africa is consolidated under our rule and religious conflicts have been resolved at long last! From this day forward we shall be known as a new Empire in East Africa!
	With the Central Doab province secure once more under our rule, we should found a new city there with the potential to accommodate the needs of the court.
	Although our focus is heavily on the land warfare, it is unquestionable that dominance on the sea is just as important if we get into conflicts with the Hansa or Scandinavia. We should found a navy which shall represent the best of our qualities.
	Our current navy is nothing but the levy contribution of our burghers. Mobilization of our the fleet is slow and expensive.\nWe must create a standing navy which defends our island from foreign invaders and secures the future of our nation.
	With spiritual authority established in the Punjab, it is time to turn our attention outwards. We must expand our rule to the surrounding regions, and in doing so lay the foundations for a Sikh Empire.
	Although we have a multitude of documents in a multitude of collections, we have no single place to curate all the written works we own. It is time we organized an official library for the Holy See.
	We must establish a center of learning where we can train the theologians, jurists and medics of the future, and attract the leading minds of Germany to serve the our nation.
	Our dynasty requires a new and more stately residence city. In the heartland of our old kingdom, and closer to the ancient capitals of our dynasty, we will construct a new city, surrounded by lakes it will be both a thing of great beauty and every bit as defensible as the fortress of Chittor.
	A rising naval power needs a strategically placed harbor to keep their ships safe. The place for this haven has been chosen and the cornerstone has been placed. Now we just need to build it up.
	Now that Dublin is under Irish rule once more, it would be an excellent place to found our first university.
	Our growing presence in the East Indies requires a nearby administrative center, where our merchants can be protected by our guns and our ships can safely dock.
	As an emerging nation in need of defending itself, we must establish a fast-moving army that is well-equipped and ready to defend our home provinces.
	Consortiums of merchants such as the Heeren XVII are keen to expand their portfolios and invest in overseas trade. If we supported the establishment of some sort of East India Company, the profits could be immense!
	The four great schools of medicine have always been divided in China. By finding a way to unite their theories, we can perhaps advance our knowledge on life and death.
	The Inca called their empire 'Tawantinsuyu' meaning roughly 'Four Parts Together'. The four parts are the four provinces of Qullasuyu, Antisuyu, Chinchaysuyu, and Kuntisuyu, all radiating out of Cuzco itself.
	The cultures of our empire are diverse, and for that reason, we must split them accordingly if we are to govern them efficiently. By splitting them into four groups, the Mongols, the Semus, the Han, and the Southerners, we can achieve precisely that.
	our nation must have a foothold in South America. It is likely that other nations may have already established themselves on this vast continent, so we should be prepared to encounter political hostility.
	With Ansbach returned to the fold, we should expand our holdings in Franconia.
