	The Andean societies had their own regional gods which they venerated in the form of idols. The Incans seized those idols and brought them to Cuzco, forcing subjects to travel all the way to the capital to consult their gods. In case of provincial unrest or rebellious tendencies, the idol was whipped publicly as a way to enforce obedience.
	Korea has for long been a knife aimed at Japan's throat. It's time for us to finally cross the sea and establish a strong and secure presence in the peninsula.
	With all the treaties we sign, all the deals we make, and all promises we make to our people, it is essential that our our nation's reputation be spotless. If there is a shadow of a doubt about our promises, all our diplomacy and intrigues could come to naught.
	The Turkish Sultan believes himself safe, hiding behind his legions of soldiers and walled bastions. We will show him that nobody can hide from God's judgment. He shall pay for his crimes against Christendom with his life!
	We are on the cusp of a very unique legislative league when it comes to dealing with the Emperor. Members of the 'Imperial Immediacy' have direct contact with the Emperor in matters of diplomacy and war. We must use this influence to lay claim in the Holstein areas and the Northern part of the Empire.
	Like all Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, we have our eye on the throne. We should stir up some support from the electorate.
	There are those among the Princes who would have ambitions to challenge us and seize control of the Empire for themselves. A show of diplomatic and military strength will be necessary to quell these ambitions and ensure that the predominance of our power is undisputed.

	The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has resulted in a great success, elevating us to the status of Empire, as recognized by other European courts.
	Securing wealth must always be the foremost priority of our state. Let us make use of the expensive armies and fleets that our economic prosperity has bought us to acquire even more resources and subjects for an aspiring empire.

	The most valuable trade goods passing along the Silk Road are the silks, textiles and carpets. We should endeavor to learn from our eastern trade partners, how to create fabrics of such magnificent qualities. This way instead of only trading other peoples fabrics we will be able to sell our own.
	As our empire grows, so too must our economy. A thriving cloth and silk industry can generate wealth, create employment, and enhance our international prestige. Our lands are ripe for the cultivation of silk and cotton, while our people are ready to master the arts of weaving and dyeing.

	Our empire stretches across thousands of mountain peaks and through vast highland territories. While considerably safe in the mountains, our authority tends not to extend into lowland terrains, which are hardly defensible provinces to have. We must fortify our frontiers.
	If there is something the Incans were excellent at, it would be Imperial Infrastructure. Great highways that run across the Andes coupled with efficient administration has made this empire highly prosperous and successful.
	We were once called 'dwarfs' by China, but now China is dwarfed by us! The Son of Heaven has no equal; we must assert the Chrysanthemum Throne's supremacy over all other rulers.
	No German nation has yet had much success fighting at sea. We should build a fleet of heavy warships to rectify this situation.

	Oyo has always been an Empire in our eyes. The time has come for it to become one in the eyes of everyone. We need to show true strength if we are to deserve to be called such.
	The Kingdoms of Scandinavia seek our subjugation. They outnumber our defenses and possess more ships of war than we could ever muster with the resources we have. Our only hope of overcoming our precarious situation is to join the Holy Roman Empire at all costs.
	The taxation system of our domain is a complex patchwork of different taxes and customs we adopted from the conquered territories. As such there is no unified system which keeps the bureaucracy of the tax collection simple. Mayhaps taking inspiration from the Siyasah of other Muslim states might help us alleviate the problem.
	We have discovered a curious tuber in the New World. Having given up on attempts to smoke it, we have learned that it would make an ideal staple crop to grow back home in Ireland. Even small families would be able to easily grow enough to survive.
	Lübeck Law provided for municipal self-government and self-administration yet did not negate dependance upon a lord, be it a bishop, duke, king or, in Lübeck's case, an emperor. Instead, it allowed the cities a certain degree of autonomy and self-reliance in legislative, judicial and executive matters. To ensure smooth and proper cooperation between the members of our Trade League we must be careful in regards to their liberties and autonomies.
	The Raja of Maynilla surely knows that he cannot resist us. Perhaps by courting his favor he will simply submit to our rule.
	We enjoy a close relationship with the small Sultanate of Sulu. We should secure these bonds to pave the way for their eventual integration into our empire.
	The core of our nation needs to be strong so that other nations look at us in awe. We must develop it.

	Although raiding our neighbors has for long been an important part of our economy, we should improve our own infrastructure to increase our own production of wealth. We must be able to have a strong self-sufficient economy that doesn't depend on having neighbors that we can raid.
	Our state is at the border of powerful foes who want to conquer our lands. We must focus on a diplomatic approach so we can find allies against our enemies.
	We have a history of a monastic order, which fought wars against pagans in order to christianize them. Our diplomatic abilities were good enough to ensure that Poland would not annex us the second after we were done with our crusade. But for the standards of the Holy Roman Empire, our diplomatic abilities are comparable to those of barbarians.\nWe must improve our diplomacy in order to survive in this new political environment.
	We are underproducing marketable goods by failing to invest in production infrastructure. We must construct additional workshops to remedy this.
	An army marches on its stomach. We must improve our rice production to ensure a healthy populace and a well-supplied army.
	Bureaucracy is not a very exciting topic, but it is essential for every country which has great ambitions. Our current state of bureaucracy looks dire however. We need to get our administration together before we can even think of expansion.
	The existing status quo of the trade ban within our realm mostly serves to hurting our own bottom line. Despite preventing extensive trade relations with outsiders being the sensible path, there is much room to improve the existing policies and refine them for the betterment of our economic balance.
	Our artisans are struggling to keep up with demand for our goods. If we cannot increase production of textiles and other manufactured goods, buyers may start turning elsewhere for their needs, and then our economy would be ruined. We must expand our industrial output!
	Strength, solidarity and a common goal are but some of the qualities that hold our people together. As we struggle to expand our territory, our next goal shall be none other than Flanders.
	Our people can get all they need just gathering food from nature, at most, some forest gardening is needed to help Nature produce more.
	The legendary sought-after spices that originate from the Far East have propped up generations of merchants and warlords. We must seek their source and through it we shall control the world.
	The Reformation is causing a rift within the Catholic faith. Brethren are raising their swords against each other; entire kingdoms fall in disarray while their population slaughters itself in the name of the same God.\nWe should show these lunatics that a harmonic life between the faiths is a possibility.

	The Incan civilization, which resides in the mountains of Peru, owns gold and silver in abundancy. We should help them get rid of the burden of having too much of these valuable metals.
	The Inca fill their temples with gold, yet seem unaware of simply how much power this wealth commands. Their territory, as well as the gold, would be much safer in our hands.
