	Goal	Key
	We shall make Geneva into a new Rome, the spiritual center of the Reformation. In Geneva will we attempt to establish a Council of reformers of all kinds from across Europe. Although we are unlikely to be able to settle our religious differences entirely, we can at least attempt to live in peace despite doctrinal disputes.
	The commercial opportunity in the Genoese shores cannot be ignored. The merchants tell tales of inescapable coin, enough to fill ten purses. Securing this source of income will prove of vital importance in funding our external and internal endeavors.
	The arrival of the Genoese forever shook our position in Gothia. Many foreign merchants have been buying land off us, and have reduced our coastal influence to but a single port. Maybe it is time we try and combat this threat, either with the sword or with the pen.
	Genoa lives and dies on trade. As things stand, we do not even have control over the western Mediterranean. It is imperative that we improve our trade power in our home waters.
	Our Georgian neighbors share much of our history and culture. It is time we unite under a single banner and face the challenges of this world together.
	The wine tradition in Georgia has deep roots in history, spanning centuries, if not millennia. With wine being one of our most vital commodities, it is important for us to strive towards establishing its global recognition and appreciation.
	We have become a mighty nation, feared and respected by all statesmen with good sense. At last it is time to unite Germany into a single nation, whether by force or by diplomacy.
	We have attempted to annex the Swiss before but were thwarted on every occasion - by a simple farmer with a bow and arrow, in one case. We must overcome the generations of humiliation we have suffered and bring these rebellious farmers under our rule.
	We have attempted to annex the Swiss before but were thwarted on every occasion - by a simple farmer with a bow and arrow, in one case. We must overcome the generations of humiliation we have suffered and bring these rebellious farmers under our rule.
	Our young state has a constant need of new administrators, officers and scholars. Yet the lands which we rule were only recently conquered by an Islamic state and Muslim men of quality are rare. We must embark on a campaign to attract the learned and able men of Persia to the rich lands of India.
	The treacherous king Gideon the V is leading a rebellion against our ruler and tries to detach his kingdom from our empire. We should teach this traitor a lesson and send his followers packing.
	The glassmaking of the eastern romans has been nothing short of incredible. Famous across Europe along with the imperial silks, it would influence the Venetian Crystal and give rise to many other styles in the process. But since the Latin merchants have taken over our markets, this art seems to have been lost to time, only remaining significant in Constantinople. Let us rectify that.
	The acquisition of wealth is one thing; but being wealthier than all others, is a sign of true mastery. Grow our home trade node, and own a controlling stake in it.
	Raiding the Baltic Sea, while profitable, is a very limiting experience. Many more ports of this world desire our attention and we shall give them that!
	As trade evolves into the global bounds that hold our markets together, we must take charge to ensure that we are at the forefront of production and innovation.
	Foreigners have always wanted a hand in our domestic commercial affairs. Lucrative trade deals within our realm may potentially reap tremendous monetary benefits for them, after all. Despite their wishes, we must present a strong front and decide on a course of action, lest we risk falling pray to their exploitative urges.
	The internal infighting of our foes across the Channel has not gone unnoticed. We must intervene and subjugate them once and for all.
	Other European rulers have been expanding their capitals, erecting monuments to their grandeur and constructing beautiful palaces. We must make sure we do not fall behind in this competition for splendor!
	Surrounded by many enemies, the Hungarian army has ample practice at guarding the independence of our state. But we may not rest on our laurels - we must continue to hone our skills so that we do not lose the cutting edge that the excellence of our armed forces provides.
	The Winds and currents favor Westward expansion. Our explorers believe that rich lands lie just over the Horizon.

	According to the legend, ten datus from Borneo came to our islands and made a treaty with one of our ancient heroes. It is time to prepare for a reverse expedition.
	Our nation is famous for its natural resources, gold and diamond ores were found in the deeps of our mines. We should take advantage of it in order to secure trade in our node.
	Gold has traditionally always been the main export good of our nation, and many foreigners would do anything for the gold nuggets our great our ruler possesses. Meanwhile we also have access to another resource which has seen an increase in popularity too: ivory.\nWe should increase the production of both goods and develop our economy.
	Although gold is not a currency in our Empire, its value outside of it cannot be denied. We may see it as a mineral for our crafts, but others see it as a currency. The more gold we can extract, the more prestigious we'll look to the world.
	The Horn does not possess many valuable resources which could boost our economy - except for two distinct gold provinces: our nation and our nation. We should gain access to them and use the precious metal for our benefit.
	We must bring about a golden era for our nation that will last for generations. Our wealth and prestige shall eclipse all other nations!
	We must bring about a golden era for our nation that will last for generations. Our wealth and prestige shall eclipse all other nations!
	A unique political system, the Golden Liberty, was established in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, due to growing political power wielded by the Nobility, effectively becoming a republic under the presidency of the our ruler. It will depend on our decision which form it will take from now on.
	Golkonda is the site of the largest and most productive diamond mine in the entire world. It lies within our reach, and so we must take it for ourselves. We should also attempt to secure other sources of precious gems, for instance the pearl industry of Lanka or the mines of Andhra.
	We should seek to make our nation a welcoming place for new arrivals, for an influx of labor and manpower can only be a benefit to the state. Under the direct authority of the Crown, these Gosti will serve us well.
	The Hordes and the Italians have been dealt with. Our principality which started from the city of Mangup is now more than just that. We can finally start the next step of our nation's ambitions: Restoring Gothia.
	Gothia may have returned, but the Gothic ways have not. Germany has yet to be conquered. The kings and Queens there have yet to bend their knees to us. Then, we shall make them knee using the sword.
	Our mighty commercial empire is poised to exert a monopoly over trade and power in the Baltic Sea. None who is not approved by our merchants shall have any presence in the Baltic Sea!
	Various successes in trade, maritime and economic matters have pushed historians to proclaim our time "The Golden Age of our nation". Booming trade, happy populace and efficient taxing has worked marvels for our economy, allowing us to even rival the British in the Channel.
	Winds of change have come to our nation, fueled by the struggle between absolutist and revolutionary regimes. Therefore, a new Constitution is required by the different Estates that make up the society of our country, and it is on our hands to determine its foundation and scope.
	The grip over our governors is getting weaker and weaker. With signs of rebellion appearing despite the respected rule of Shah Rukh, the state is sure to shatter into a civil war upon his death. We cannot let this happen.
	The Nile River cradled many powerful civilizations, and if we are to sustain ourselves, we must make sure that the prosperity and wealth of the river are firmly controlled by us.
	We must dominate trade in the Granbaia and ensure that no other nation controls the most lucrative coasts where our whalers ply their trade.
	Our our nation is fragile and easy prey for our rivals and enemies and our defenses are mostly present for our capital. We must create a Grand Army of the our nation to counter the increasing threat of our neighbors.
	We must construct a great fleet to defend our shores from the naval powers of the world who hungrily eye our territory. To build this fleet, we will need shipyards the likes of which the world has never seen; a truly industrial effort.
	The eastern equivalent of a viceroy, commonly known within our country as Xunfu is a key office that plays an important role within our administration. We must tend to promoting able coordinators and ensure their loyalty to the Emperor.
	The eastern equivalent of a viceroy, commonly known in China as Xunfu and within our country as Junbu, is a key office that plays an important role within our administration. We must tend to promoting able coordinators and ensure their loyalty to the Emperor.
	The eastern equivalent of a viceroy, commonly known in China as Xunfu and within our country as Sunmu, is a key office that plays an important role within our administration. We must tend to promoting able coordinators and ensure their loyalty to the Emperor.

	The House of Wisdom was where all of the scientific miracles of Muslim scholars were stored. It held the greatest intellectuals of the entire Islamic civilization. If we are to bring back the golden age we need to hire the greatest minds of the Islamic world into our court and recreate what was once lost. It will be difficult due to lack of knowledge as to what was lost, but it is necessary if we are to bring back the scientific legacy of Islam.
	Since time immemorial the Grand Trunk Road has serviced traders and armies in Northern India. This great road connects the important cities of Hindustan, from Bengal to Kabul.\nWe must renovate the Grand Trunk Road, and spare no expense in its maintenance. There is also a great need for accommodations along the entire trade route, a need we must alleviate with the enactment of regular serais where traders may rest and spend the night.
