	Goal	Key
	Our ambitions are great; our targets dangerous. Any endeavor we want to attempt in Europe will require a strong treasury - a strong, nationalized bank. We should prepare the government as well as our economy for the introduction of a nationalized banking system.
	The Sultan of Arakan believes himself safe behind the mountains as he sponsors pirates and smugglers to steal the wealth of the Bay of Bengal. We will show him that the mountains are no obstacle to us.
	Bengal is rich, populous, and prestigious. To conquer this land would remove a great threat while greatly strengthening our own realm.
	The invasion of Burma will likely be a long and difficult campaign. The jungles are dense, the enemy commands vast elephant armies, and the people are determined to resist our rule. Nevertheless, their fragile mandalas shall crumble before us.
	Burma threatens to unite its warring kingdoms and challenge our dominion. We must expand our borders westward to prevent such an outcome.
	Burma cannot be trusted to remain pacified forever. We must bring the region under our rule.
	We must once and for all unite the Manchu peoples, several are allied to the Chinese and have sought shelter in the shadow of their great wall. We must send our banner south and liberate them from bondage.
	China is the final obstacle to our great restoration of the Great Khan's empire. Temujin himself would look upon our empire with pride as the Heavenly Kingdom crumbles before us.
	The Vietnamese are a constant threat to our northern provinces. We must launch an invasion and subjugate them.
	Our domains may stretch far, but venerable Egypt still remains beyond our grasp. These rich lands would be a gateway to the east and the lucrative trades of Asia and Africa.

	We cannot allow the British Isles to fall to heresy! To protect the faith, we must embark our soldiers onto the Armada and set sail for England, where we will attempt to seize the reins of government by force.

	England itself is now open to us. It's time to give them a taste of their own medicine.
	France has had expansionist ambitions in Germany for centuries. We cannot allow such a powerful nation to threaten the unity of our nation. Let us take the fight to them, and launch an invasion of France!
	Following the discovery of Europe, a foothold in any French province could offer opportunities for further expansion.

	Our past clashes with Gujarat have met with mixed success. It is time we committed to wiping them off the map.
	Our most dangerous foes are the Spanish Christians to the north, living in domains once controlled by faithful Muslims. It is time to reverse their pathetic 'reconquista'.
	The land touched by the Ganges river is one of the most fertile places in the world, and the riches northern India possesses attest to it. While we have secured our natural borders at the frontier to India, it is only a matter of time before an Indian empire rises to contest us. We should strike first, and claim the Hindustani wealth for ourselves first.
	With the discovery of Europe it is vital to gain a foothold from which to launch further conquests. Any Irish province would make a fine base.
	The lands of Italy shall be our next campaign as we sweep across Europe. The seat of pretentious men of God and affluence will make a fine addition to our collection of provinces.
	The Joseon dynasty of Korea proudly sees itself as subordinate only to the Emperor in Beijing. They must be made to accept a new overlord.
	The Empire of Kanem was once mighty; though it has fallen into relative decline, its territory is far from useless. We must extend our campaign further east.
	The rich land of Lombardy lies just across the Alps. Its incumbent rulers are mostly usurpers with a poor claim to their lands - we would be able to provide the peoples of Lombardy with much stronger and decisive leadership, if we can seize control of them.
	With our army and fleet at the ready, it is time we make our move and cleanse that island of infidels, and take control of it to exploit its riches.
	Although we hoped for a better diplomatic relation with the people of the Maghreb, they are only interested in our gold and salt. Even worse: the Moroccan were even planning an invasion into our territory so they can seize the salt and gold production for themselves! For the sake of our own security we should turn the tables and go into the offense first!
	The lands of Maharashtra separate the Deccan from the powerful Sultanates to the north. We should conquer these lands to make a frontier against northern incursions.
	Malacca has become a thriving trade port, and would make a fine addition to our possessions on the Malay Peninsula.
	Mali controls some of the most abundant gold mines in the known world; these are the true riches of Africa, and they must be ours!
	The wild lands of Manchuria hold great potential if we can civilize its inhabitants. We should establish a foothold there.
	The time has come to put an end to the English threat. We shall sail westwards and land into England in their nothern territories of Northumberland!
	The Italians were involved in many conflicts with us. To sea or on land, the Venetians, the Genoese and the Papal Forces always sought for a way to end our might in Anatolia and in the Balkans.\nFate must have a sense of irony as now it is us who shall strive for the end of the North Italians' influence in Europe.
	The Boyars of Novgorod stubbornly resist our rule. We must prepare an invasion force to subjugate them.
	The Veche Republic of Novgorod has resisted subjugation for centuries. Neither the wild hordes nor its backward boyars have managed to be Novgorod's downfall. It is up to us to end this overbearing republic and seize its territory.
	The Boyars of Novgorod stubbornly resist our rule. We must prepare an invasion force to subjugate them.
	Sharing a border with the Kingdom of France is a source of anxiety for many nations. We can never be sure that our military or diplomatic efforts will be enough to deter them if they should decide to invade. Instead, we must take the fight to them!

	Over the centuries many invaders have made Persia the seat of a great empire. The White Sheep will join the list of immortal conquerors.
	The upstart Ayutthaya kingdom has great ambitions. They must not be allowed to achieve them.
	With the discovery of Europe, taking any province in Iberia would make an excellent foothold for further expansion.
	We must continue our campaign westward, making forays into Syria and Anatolia. We cannot allow the Turks to defy our rule!
	The Scandinavian and the British people have a long, intertwined history which dates all the years back to the first North Sea Empire in the medieval times. Of course both regions developed into different directions, separating their fates from each other.\nBut with the rise of the Scandinavian Empire, the British have become once again a rival to our interests. It might be time once again that the British Isles are ruled by a Scandinavian our ruler.
	It is time to once again assert our rule over the entire Deccan, as the Tughlaqs did before the Bahmani Sultanate rebelled against them.
	Having secured the loyalty of the Garjat chiefs and the lords of Telingana, we must now march into the heart of the Deccan itself; the fortified city of Bidar. We must amass an army and lay waste to the Deccani countryside.
	Now that we have gathered the full strength of Nusantara, we can set our sights to the mainland, where crumbling kingdoms are ripe for conquest.
	In the bend of the Niger river, up to the north, the mighty cities of Timbuktu and Gao control the riches of West Africa and the trade with the peoples living pass the great desert. Their wealth is unmeasurable and it has to be ours.
	While not as wealthy as their counterparts in the north, the cities of Kong and Bonoman are trading hubs where money flows abundant. If we want to fund our military campaigns further we need to be sure to control as many of these sources of wealth as possible.
	To the west of our realm, Massina and Jenne dominate their inner land full of gold and have become a precious objective for our nation. Should we control those two central points, the area surrounding them will soon fall into our hands. Besides, they are full of treasures that will fill our coffers.
	What will we say when our children ask, ‘why didn’t you invest in Eastern Poland?’
