	our nation have been part of our nation ever since the 13th century. But due to our steady decline for almost hundred years, the people of our nation have been feeling neglected and desire a state of their own, completely independent from us - especially after they got into contact with the Europeans and no longer wish to be our middle man.\nWe should show them our empathy and affection so we do not have another part of our country falling out of our grasp.
	Religious anarchy has gripped Europe. Where once the Pope used to be the guidance there is now only chaos. We must take control of the situation, and decide where we stand on the matter of the Divine.
	The Christian faith is at its turning point. Reformers acquired huge influence in Europe, turning many once pious men against the Holy See. We must choose our side in this new Schism or else we will find ourself in our own internal religious war.
	The loyalty of the streltsy has always been questionable at best due to their constant demands. There are only two ways to deal with them: we either abolish the streltsy as a whole, or we embrace them as the elite force of the our nation.
	The Torwa dynasty is a relic of the old Zimbabwe empire and has become our subject after we replaced the old realm. While their quality of troops is unmatched, their loyalty to the our ruler is questionable at times. It is time to integrate them into our state properly.
	Every province has the right to appoint its own stadtholder, who acts as both a political leader and a military leader. As our country grows larger and the provinces continue to unite, however, a multitude of stadtholders pose certain problems, particularly for the army. We need a single commander in charge of the overall military effort, and the simplest way to achieve that is to appoint a single man to the stadtholderate of multiple provinces at the same time.
	Begining in 1441, our naval Forces clashed numerous times with the Hansa, a dominant group of cities that controlled the lucrative trade in the Baltic Sea. Having beaten and humiliated them we signed the Treaty of Copenhagen which allowed us unlimited access and sizeable presence in their ports. It is time we demand the treaty be reinstated, lest they risk going to war.
	Now that our naval empire is secure, we must see to it that our bookkeeping is up to scratch so that no penny destined for our coffers is funneled into corrupt pockets.
	Beyond the Oresund, lie the rich Hanseatic cities of Danzig and Riga. Both have prospered greatly thanks to our custom. One might say they owe their riches to us. That debt is due.
	Without the naval strength to back up our trade empire, we risk losing all that we have gained. Our famed shipwrights must be given the best facilities to work with so that our navy may never be short of ships.
	China must be completely united under Qing rule. Its people must labor harmoniously under our wise administration, free from strife between nations and faiths.
	Our hold over the Japanese territories will not be complete until we have integrated their people culturally and spiritually as well as militarily.
	The coast of the Low Countries has great mercantile potential. It would be wise to solidify our presence in it and make sure it operates under the philosophy of maritime efficiency.
	The seokjeon, or stone battle, is a uniquely Korean game involving teams of combatants throwing stones at each other. The unavoidably high injury rate among participants and onlookers, as well as threats from unruly young men prowling the streets armed with large rocks, make it tempting to outlaw this practice. However, a forward-thinking our ruler might be able to make use of it as a form of martial training to harden our troops and ensure they can withstand anything the enemy can throw at them!
	Spice is one of the most valuable goods being traded and transported through our markets, seas, and rivers. Protecting our valued goods should be our prime priority.
	The steppes have historically given birth to numerous legendary figures that came and went, leaving their mark on the history books. If we are to achieve our place among the stars, we must tend to every aspect of our realm and especially the newly conquered lands in our Southeastern border.
	Swiss mercenaries have been a mainstay of many armies used in conflicts on both sides of the Alps. If we can ensure that we have preferential access to them, we will have a significant advantage over our enemies.
	Haucaypata is the name of a central plaza in Cuzco, where much wealth and important buildings are concentrated. It is the communal space of the city where various festivals and religious events are held.
	Our similarities are stronger than our differences. Having followed the wise advice of our great leaders, it has become evident that a union between our equals is more necessary than ever. We must secure some allies among the Iroquoians in order to establish a powerful council without forgetting our own identifying characteristics.
	Our glorious army has served us well, but it is still not powerful enough to achieve our goals. We must expand it and turn it into a considerable force, worthy of the fear of our foes.
	The next step when defining our naval power implies finding someone worthy of commanding our ships. We shall appoint one of our greatest warriors as our admiral.
	For too long, the Christendom has been divided over petty differences in faith. The Popes saw little reason to heal it, and the fools of the Byzantine Empire were too busy getting conquered by Muslims. It is up to us to heal this schism and end this heresy.
	A domineering trading nation needs two things to enforce its will: ports and land. We need to control both the land and the sea.
	When the Mongols went into Persia, they destroyed everything in their path, leaving the region in turmoil. With our return as the rightful rulers of Persia, we can unite this discord we have created.

	At the very heart of the Hanseatic trading network are the cities of Lübeck, Bremen, and Hamburg. Protected by the German Emperor, it will be difficult to seize these cities. But if we can seize them, we will be the greatest trading power in northern Europe.
	The torch of the Heavens has passed onto our dynasty. To prove worthy and harness the power of China, we must display the excellence and competence needed to reform and tame the country, a feat none had accomplished for long before our dynasty came to power. This is truly a test of favor towards the holder of the Mandate of Heaven.
	China has had a long tradition of rulers that are considered divine. The people there submit to those false gods, bending their knees to mere humans who are incapable of preventing the apocalypse. A demonstration of true divine grace is needed.
	We have already dealt a great blow to China, and it's clear that we have supplanted them as the big fish in the area. We must completely assert our dominance so that everybody knows who is the true hegemon of all Asia.
	With the fall of France and Iberia, there is no more competition for us in the West. Let us declare ourselves as the hegemons of Europe.
	Various Mesoamerican states forged empires not by pure territorial conquest but by growing tributary and alliance networks that provided power for the hegemon. In such ways shall we grow until the chain of collapses is broken.
	For generations, Mali has controlled most of West Africa with an iron fist. Their power has been fading, though, while ours have grown stronger by the day. In order to claim hegemony over this region, we have to dominate it and destroy or subdue Mali.
	We have achieved what the Byzantine Empire never could; we have defeated the heathens and driven them from Europe entirely. What nation could be more deserving of the mantle of Rome?
	The Jagiellonians had a claim to the vast lands of Ruthenia. Now that the crowns of their lands are controlled by us, we should make use of those claims to seize Ruthenia for ourselves, before the region is taken by the Muscovites.
	Our foremost ambition and the goal at the heart of the acculturation is being recognized as a proper Persian Empire and not a brutal invading force that brings forth nothing but destruction.
	While the powerful Seljuks have become a mere chapter in the annals of history, their descendants persist in governing extensive territories and retaining control over the Near East. It is high time to break the legacy of Seljuk and reclaim these lands, reinstating Christian authority over their lands. The cross shall triumph over the crescent!
	The Hellenic peoples have been scattered across the lands. We must encourage their resettlement in our territories to strengthen our cultural unity and claim our rightful place as the successors of the Roman Empire.
	The Swiss believe that they are safe in their Alpine fortresses. We will show them that there is no obstacle that cannot be torn down with French cannon!
	In terms of the build-up of our capital, let us proceed with the construction of additional madrasa, where the scholarly and the clerical traditions meet. This would cement the growth of the capital and would let it flourish.
	The Ojibwa tribe has always been our enemy; our ancestors had fought for years, decades and even centuries. It is our duty to honor their endeavor and continue their efforts.
	The Artaxiads, one of the greatest dynasties in Armenian history, ruled over a vast empire that stretched beyond our current borders, deep into Persia. They epitomized the might and splendor of our nation in its prime. It's our duty to honor their legacy and reclaim the territories that were once under Armenian control. Persia, a land rich in culture and resources, has been a historical battleground of great empires. It is time for us to make our mark on this land. We must prepare for an incursion into Persia, driven by the ambition to expand our borders, assert our influence, and reclaim the glory of the Artaxiad era.
	Möngke Khan forced the Koreans to submit to Mongol rule. They have since ceased to bow to us, and must be reminded of their true masters.

	The fish markets of Lund have proven to be a lucrative business for our Danish neighbors. Establishing a similar market across the banks of the Oresund would definitely prove profitable!
	The Hexamilion wall used to protect the isthmus in ancient times. Recently, the wall has been repaired to protect against the Ottomans, but that has failed too. We must either commit or give up on it.
	We must increase state income by any means necessary. Money is a requirement for any endeavor of the state, from the daily expenses of the government to the maintenance of armies to invade our enemies.
