	Goal	Key
	Franconian weakness has allowed our neighbors to the north and west to encroach on our lands. We must end this occupation and restore our people's liberty.
	Franconia is a largely rural land, with few major cities beside Nuremberg. Consequently, it has often fallen under the influence of its more prosperous neighbors. We must reverse this trend and build greater prosperity for our nation.
	Danzig is one of the great centers of commerce in the Baltic Sea and seat of a powerful though rather arrogant class of merchants. It is also home to one of the great sea ports of the Baltic. This important trade port is completely wasted in the hands of its merchants. It needs to be liberated and be made part of the pirate confederacy.
	The great importance of Lübeck as a center of trade cannot be emphasized enough. It is directly on the border between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Of course this made the city into a state where merchants rule.\nEverybody knows that the best merchant is less trustworthy than the worst pirate. We should do North Europe a favor and turn this vile trade city into a safe haven for free thinkers and pirates alike!
	To drive the infidel back from whence it came, we must clear the Balkans of their influence and build a bulwark of Christianity there - one on whose support we can count on for further campaigns.
	Africa has seen the invasions through Muslims and Christians alike - both trying to eradicate our traditions and legacy and replacing them with their own ideas completely. This must end! We shall drive these zealots back to their homes and reclaim the continent for our brethren!
	While Lübeck is the port connecting the North Sea with the Baltic Sea, Riga is the city which connects the trade of West Europe with Russia.\nOf course we respectable pirates have a great interest in Riga and would love to see it being part of our pirate confederacy.
	By controlling key trade ports ourselves we can circumvent the criminally high trade fees set by local traders.
	After the first glorious century of the Joseon Kingdom, pervasive factional strife has left our country weak and divided. The our rulers have been unable to settle the differences between factions, leading to ferocious life-and-death struggles breaking out periodically. Unfortunately, each time a side seems to be gaining the upper hand, it splits, and the sub-factions turn on each other once again. We must curb this factionalism and restore unity to the Korean state!
	The Compagnie des Marchands are asking for financial supports to help establish bases in North America. They say the honor of France demands it.
	The Neapolitan succession is a complex and contentious matter. Naples itself aspires to independence, but both France and the Iberian princes stake a claim to it also. This matter must be put to rest.

	The riches of India are a tempting prize indeed. If we could establish a foothold along the coast, we could dominate trade in the region.

	The our state shall become the world's only superpower, an unmatched global hegemon with no worthy rivals and total power over the fate of nations.
	The wealth of Indochina is all but untapped by European nations. Let us be the first to establish a presence in the region.
	France must build a fleet to rival that of England, lest we be stranded on our shores indefinitely.
	None shall dispute the naval and maritime prowess of our navy should we succeed in defeating our enemies in the water. With the defeat of the British navy, France now rules the waves!
	The tyranny of the monarchy must be ended! Vive la France!
	We must endure and exceed all expectations laid upon us as we tread through the perilous era of religious strife that has swept across Europe.
	It must be said that the Timurid realm has not been engaging in much combat in recent decades. As each year passes, generations of skilled warriors and leaders pass away, being succeeded by inexperienced generals. We must not let this continue.
	The prize of Milan is tempting for the Great Powers of Europe, which have often cast a greedy eye on the rich but divided Italian Peninsula. If we are to survive and prosper, we will need powerful patrons willing and able to ward off would-be conquerors.
	The rest of the Low Countries region is in thrall to us. Only Frisia remains outside our control - we shall have it for ourselves.

	The Frisian people have long demanded their independence from outside influences and fought for their autonomy. Let us provide them with freedom under our banner, as a compromise.
	The Pauline Order has been influential in Hungary since its foundation by the Blessed Eusebius of Esztergom in 1250 and has even spread to neighboring countries. Setting aside funds to ensure their goodwill towards the state would be a sound investment.

	It's true that venturing into the unknown holds a great amount of risk, however if we are to maximize our profits, we must come up with a solution towards improving our trade income.
	Our armies have been defeated several times in the last Polish-Teutonic Wars. Naturally, the morale of our troops has been severely damaged by this. It is time to achieve some victories on the battlefield once again, and gain some precious combat experience from it for our newer recruits.
	It is no secret that our realm is going through its darkest time. Many of our population fear the worst while subjects and rivals are looking for opportunities to exploit our weakened state. In times like these we need unity and integrity within our court more than ever. We should build some favors with the estates to ensure that they will not turn on us the second they get the chance to.
	Mogadishu minted its own coins, which helped with the centralization of its commercial hegemony. While there are already coins in circulation in Arabia and India, the number of them is too small to have a major impact. We should gain access to a good source of gold to mint more coins so we can influence the economies of these important regions.
	Mana is roughly equivalent to the Western expression of a soul or spirit. But, Mana is also the measure of a man's prestige and piety, and an honourable man is seen as possessing a lot of Mana while a lesser member of society is seen as being shallow in Mana. In some societies, someone who is dedicated to prayer and the accumulation of Mana can gain the favor of the gods and request them to perform tasks such as changing the weather or bringing islands out of the ocean. It's from this that the west's mistake of equating Mana with Magic has come from.
	For centuries, our people have looked at the sea as an opportunity, since most of our nation is coastal. Now, more than ever, our expansion must be focused on getting more ports, should we want to rely on the sea.
	We have been landlocked for too long. We need to gain access to the sea, which would allow us to expand our reaches further than ever before.
	The great statesman Gajah Mada made an oath that all of Nusantara shall be conquered by Majapahit. We remember this oath, and we will fulfill it.
	Our expansion has taken us all the way along the Ganges to the delta in Bengal, a rich region and one of the most important trading areas in the Indian subcontinent. It is time we make the Bengalis part of our empire.
	The capital of a once-powerful empire lies before us. The conquest of our nation will go down in history as the moment of our ascension!
	The city of Riga has been a partner of ours for as long as we can remember. Let us bolster our bond however we see fit and expand our reach in the Baltic seas.
	Caucasia is a mountainous area, perfect for us to use against anyone that may invade us from the Middle East. We shall make sure that our soldiers secure these mountainous passes.
	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 gather an army to ensure our security, and we'll be able to use it to conquer our enemies too.
	Now that a lot more people share our beliefs, we are more keenly aware that there are subtle differences among their shamans. We need to collect these differences to be able to have a unified true vision.
	Our people are fighters and have started to become restless, thirsty for challenges and war. We should redirect this energy to enlarging our armies and finding promising leaders for them. They will have their wishes fulfilled, but under our ruling.
	Instead of directly taxing the people, we should focus more on what we have always done to those who bent their knees to us: gathering tribute.
	It's necessary for our people to gather tributes from our neighbors, as we require them to grow strong in the next few years.
	We were but a humble merchant family years ago. Now, we sit atop a throne made of gold, triumphant over our Greek rivals. The rest of the world shall soon know of this accomplishment.
	We must establish our capital as a shining center of religious learning, a Madrasa that any promising scholar would have to visit, regardless of if he was born in India or overseas. In this way we will ensure a steady stream of learned men that we can then employ in the service of the state.
	Arabian Gems are known all around the Islamic world. However, our desire of wealth grows ever stronger. We must ensure that our production of these gems is increased further, so that we may all live like kings.
	Administrative penetration has always been the great problem of any great Indian empires. Taxing the vast riches of Hindustan is not only a problem of having the military power or authority to do so. It is also to a large degree a question of measuring, assessing and mapping what sources of revenue exist within our borders.\nA general land assessment of all territory under our control would likely benefit us tremendously, even if it would also be a great undertaking.

	It is important to administer our country fairly, never favoring one province over another too much. To that end, the central government sometimes needs to directly administer lands to prevent one regional faction from gaining too much influence in national affairs.
