	Goal	Key
	With the discovery of silver in Jawar we have financial security for generations to come. This is however a legacy that we must take care not to squander.
	Our successes are truly glorious, and our leadership second to none. Our people and the nations of the world need to know how truly great we are.
	The time has come for us to launch an attack against all those who wish to harm our people and control our lands. We will be subjects no longer!
	The most sacred city in Christendom awaits our return. We must muster our courage and retake the city in the name of God. Onward to Jerusalem!
	When Agra fell to our rule, we chose to spare it from total plunder and destruction. As a token of gratitude, the local leaders have gifted us with precious jewels. Years later, this city, representing these jewels, is a candidate for our capital. We shall make Agra into a great center of art and splendor.
	Only a fool would doubt the importance of the Baltic Sea for the trade between Western and Eastern Europe. The many entrepots and centers of trade surrounding the Baltic Sea are proof of it.\nThese trade cities are invaluable jewels - jewels which are in direct competition with our own commercial ambitions. We should annex them to our our nation.
	The journey has been long and difficult for our vassals but they are now ready. We welcome them with open arms into our great state and together we shall bring faith and prosperity to the land.

	Though our ambitions are great, we are militarily weaker than many of our neighbours. It may be wise to seek protection by joining the Holy Roman Empire.
	The Reformation is spreading like a wildfire in the Holy Roman Empire. It is clear that it will escalate into a war of unforseeable dimensions. We should pick one of the sides and lead it to victory swiftly!
	As we are now part of the Reformation it is important to find allies in this world of heretics. The enemies of the Reformation are vast in number after all.
	The Spice markets were closed to Western European merchants when the Ottomans started dominating the East. We have reversed this and further strengthened Venetian monopoly on the Spice trade.
	For over a thousand years Girnar mountain has been famous as a holy place but it has also always been one of the most defensible locations in Saurashtra. Junagadh fort has been home to powerful dynasties in the past and would make an excellent point for us to fortify in order to control the natives of Saurashtra as well as to repel any overseas invasion in the area.
	Established by the Qing Emperor our ruler in this year, the Junji Chu - commonly known as the Grand Council - is one of the most powerful and influential legislative bodies. We must utilize our legal prowess and versatility in order to put together a privy council around our heads of state.
	Canoes are not only important symbols of our culture, but also an essential part of our lives when it comes to traveling, fishing, trading and even warfare. Making sure we have a good amount of them will help us in all these activities.
	The rule of Justinian, one of the most revered Eastern Roman Emperors, was one of glory and success. It is during his rule that the most successful attempt was made at bringing the Roman Empire back to a reality.
	The Ka Mate is a haka composed as a celebration of life over death. We went to war and many of our children died, but eventually the Iwi claimed its place over another Iwi. It's time to mourn them and celebrate the rest surviving.

	The German Empire shall eclipse all others. The fate of the world will rest in our hands alone.
	Powerful merchants in charge of ferrying spices, among other goods, are sturdy allies as we try to expand our trade and increase our profit from overseas ventures.
	The administration of Egypt is no easy task due to the vast size of our domain and the number of citizens within it. If we are to properly administer it, we will need properly organized local governorships.
	Many European nations have their eyes on our prosperous land. Out of all their greedy mouths, the French seem to be the most interested in the tribes around the Great Lakes. We must make sure that their advance is stopped on time.
	At least, Mongolia itself is within our reach. We must lead our armies into Karakorum and proclaim that the Mongol Empire has been restored!
	The grain trade is a great way to expand our diplomatic ties with our neighbors and further our affluence. By establishing better production lines we will surely hit all our quotas for exports and internal distribution.
	This dark age cannot last forever. We will struggle through the darkness and find our way back into the light.

	The House of Anjou once ruled in Hungary, only losing the throne at the end of the 14th century. We must restore our House to Hungary!
	The Crusades have failed and the Holy Land is once more in the hands of heathens. It is time to take up the Cross once again and fight to reclaim Jerusalem!
	Many lords style themselves as Kings of Jerusalem, but none have the strength or ambition to march into the Holy Land and enforce their claims. None that is, except for our noble monarch!
	Collecting kingdoms has almost become a hobby for our glorious monarchs. Let us indulge in this acquisition of titles even further. If necessary we could even invent some new Kingdoms for our monarch to reign over.
	By adding the Kingdom of Naples to our collection of titles, we can solidify our control of Italy and move one step closer towards bringing the entire peninsula under our rule.
	Good King René once sat on the Neapolitan throne, until it was unjustly taken from him by the illegitimate House of Trastamara of Aragon. We must restore the line of René to Naples.

	Our north-eastern frontier will never be truly safe until we can count the whole of Poland as subject to the Austrian.

	Our north-eastern frontier will never be truly safe until we can count the whole of Poland as subject to the Austrian.

	We must break the power of the French King and take his title and domains for ourselves.
	The Shailendra dynasty ruled over our land centuries ago. Their regency was successful and prosperous, and they came from the island of Java. We shall take back what is ours.

	Through Duke Ludovico I's marriage to Anne de Lusignan, the House of Savoy has a claim to the Kingdom of Cyprus, the last bastion of the Crusaders in the Middle East. We should take up our rightful throne and establish a base from which to begin to win back lost territory for Christianity.
	Jerusalem is ours, but we must entrench ourselves deeper into the Holy Land if we are to survive here. We must carve out a kingdom in the Syrian desert.
	The city-states of Italy are plagued by division. We must end their disunity by restoring the old Kingdom of Italy, in the process claiming for ourselves a territory of considerable riches and cultural sophistication.

	In the 12th to 13th century, Lombardy was united by an alliance of cities known as the Lombard League. However, that league fell apart, leaving Milan and other preeminent city-states to fill the void. We should resurrect the league, but this time, it must be ruled by Milan, with the Milanese our nation providing its permanent leadership and assuring its unity - a true of Lombardy.
