	Goal	Key
	The Hohenstaufens were not just Holy Roman Emperors and Dukes of Swabia - they also acquired for themselves the Kingdom of Sicily. Although our claim is distant, the island would be a valuable addition to our empire.
	The Duchy of Lower Burgundy, once ruled by Richard Justiciarius, who united all of Burgundy under his reign, should be returned to us. The Arelat must be restored!
	What is France but the greatest extension of the Franconian people? Glory would await us if we were to emulate the great Charlemagne and reunite the eastern and western Franks.
	The Rhineland is a territory of rich cities and fertile farmlands that, if united, would represent a significant force. However, it is extremely fragmented, with petty states dotting it from source to sea and little sense of common identity between its peoples. We must forge ourselves into a powerful state capable of dominating the Rhine and providing unity to its peoples, and claim for ourselves the title of Kings of the Rhineland.
	The Iberian Peninsula is home to the powerful kingdoms of Aragon, Castile and Portugal. Each of these realms poses a threat to our interests in France as well as beyond the great Atlantic Sea. We must strike first before the Iberians launch their attack against us.
	Iberia is home to some of Europe's most illustrious and prestigious dynasties. Nations which wield tremendous political and military power, we must tread carefully and decide whether we shall treat them as friends or foes.
	Our story is the story of the Turks, the narrative of a people both indomitable and visionary. The chronicles of the Turkmen dynasties, from the days of the Oghuz tribes to the rise of the Aq Qoyunlu, are filled with tales of valor, wisdom, triumph, and occasionally, the harsh lessons of defeat. It is time these stories are etched in the annals of history, not just as fragmented tales but as a consolidated account that encapsulates our shared heritage.

It is time these stories are etched in the annals of history, not just as fragmented tales but as a consolidated account that encapsulates our shared heritage.
	Opportunity awaits in the New World. As well as being a vast, untapped source of riches to fund our crusades, it is also home to many native peoples who have not yet heard the word of God. We must establish a colony and spread our mission to the west.
	While Mansa Ko Mamadi's and his fleet's existence remains a mystery, the discovery of South America is a result of the fascination his story has caused for us. As a final nod to his legend, we should pursue his ambition and colonize this continent for the glory of our nation.
	With Constantinople under our control, it is time we proclaim ourselves the Emperors of the Romans and restore the empire to its former glory. The time has come for a new Komnenian Restoration!
	The many ports of the Konkan coast envy us our wealth and have often harbored pirates, eager to plunder our prosperous ships and cities.\nWe must send our troops to extinguish these pirate havens once and for all, Gujarati steel awaits all who would protect them.
	Although Novgorod is a commercial rival of us, their capital of Novgorod is a vital center of trade for our merchants, which intend to make a living with the Russian trade. The city, however, is threatened by the ambitious Russian principalities. We must ensure that our dominance over the city's markets is unchallenged.
	The future of the Korean people depends on their political, economic and military independence. By securing this, we can inaugurate a new era of Korean unity, prosperity and strength.
	Trade with Korea's more prosperous neighbors is vital to the development of the nation. By exchanging Korean handicrafts for Japanese and Chinese goods and wealth, we can bring considerable riches to the country.
	Poland has many wealthy cities with rich histories and excellent infrastructure. However, none of them can compare to their jewels of great cities: Krakow and Warsaw. Both are important centers of commerce and the seat of power for Poland and their subject Mazovia. We should conquer these cities in order to weaken Poland while strengthenening our own economy.
	Captain Eric had a brilliant idea when he was still King of the Kalmar Union: he established the Sound Toll, which loots the gold bags of merchants with ease. And the Kronborg Castle ensures that this Sound Toll gets paid.\nObviously, the Kronborg Castle is perfect for such fine pirates as us. We should take it from Denmark.
	According to the founding legends of Kuba, this jungle kingdom is ancient - at least 900 years old even. Their legends are however of little importance to us. What is more important is the art the Kuban are capable of creating. Their masks, their broadswords - the Ilwoon Sword - are both testimonies of their skill of art and warfare.\nWe should integrate the Kuban into our realm and make use of both of their iconic items.
	The monarch should not be limited by tradition, local privilege or the nobility. Instead, as first amongst equals, he must be sole commander of the ship of state.
	Our army is glorious and serves the people! The banners we carry into war, in combination with our superior military maneuvers and discipline shall catch any enemy by surprise.
	The arrogant Kings of France would claim our lands given the slightest of opportunities. We must break their power by taking Paris, so that never again will they dare to take up arms against us.
	Aux armes, citoyens\nFormez vos bataillons\nMarchons, marchons!
	The lands of France, home of the Fleur de Lys, are vast and rich. They contain many different cultures, monuments, and cities, all ripe for the taking.
	The southern region of Sumatra is famous for producing a huge portion of the world's peppers. We should ensure maximum yields by establishing factories in Lampung.
	It is imperative that every citizen of our nation, from prince to peasant, has access to spiritual guidance from our priesthood. Every village must have a church.
	It is imperative that every citizen of our nation, from prince to peasant, has access to spiritual guidance from our priesthood. Every village must have a church.
	To adequately assure that our subjects remain faithful to Catholicism, we need to establish a parochial network that will allow masses to be celebrated throughout our territory, and our priests to lead our flock.
	Prussia used to be a land inhabited by the Old Prussians, a Baltic people, which had the misfortune to be the target of the Teutonic Knights. While the Old Prussians are history, the "New" Prussians established rich trade cities and marvelous fortifications in these lands. It would be beneficial if we take over Prussia, and annex them for the glory of our our nation.
	The island of Japan is often called Nippon, 'The Land of the Rising Sun'. The Sun only rises when a new day, a new cycle begins. With the conquest of Japan, we'll bring a new beginning to Asia.
	Despite the sea providing for us through trade and coin, it has become apparent that to ensure more living space for our people, we must reclaim it from the sea.
	Our tax farming is not in a good state. Decades of granting tax exemptions from granted territories, called soyurghals, have greatly weakened the treasury. We need to reform the way we manage the tax administration in our country.
	It is important to administer our country soundly, given the fact that our country is home to many regional differences. To that end, the central government sometimes needs to directly administer lands to prevent one regional faction from gaining too much influence in national affairs.
	Arabic might be the language of the faith in the Levant and Persia, but the language of art, court, and culture is our culture. Every artist, every poet, and every Sultan shall speak our in their courts!
	We have discovered large group of islands, which we have dubbed 'Las Islas Filipinas', that is rich in spices and precious gemstones. The native heathens are divided and unlikely to be able to resist a Spanish invasion. We should launch an expedition with as many men as we can spare to conquer these valuable islands.

	Through the will of God the forces of Islam were able to drive the infidel Frank crusaders out of the Holy Land. They remain on the island of Rhodes, harboring dreams of fresh crusades. The Holy city of Jerusalem where the prophet ascended to Heaven must be secured from their clutches.
	Whilst not the blooming flower of chivalry compared to other realms, Austria is renowned for being the last stronghold of these traditions in Europe.
	What is a fleet without a flagship? Sailing at the head of our great armada, our flagship will inspire fear and reverence both as an impressive vessel in its own right and as a symbol of Portuguese power.
	We have to ensure law and order and facilitate traveling between our prosperous towns and cities. Therefore, we have to promote the Chancillería courts in Valladolid and Granada, and establish the Santa Hermandad as our law enforcement force.
	At the height of our old empire, we established a new law code, built upon such venerable traditions as the Code of Justinian and the practical promulgations of our own monarchs. It is time we reviewed and revised this code, and updated it for the modern era.
	We have expanded our influence. Now it is time to put it to good use to develop Visby and establish a Baltic monopoly.
	If we are to be part of the Empire, it is surely so that we can claim leadership over it. The throne is ours for the taking.
	The Hanseatic League is no more. Whatever semblance of wealth and protection it once provided is a memory. It is now up to us to collect its pieces and forge a new trade league!
	A mundane attempt orchestrated by some minor Italian powers is nowhere near powerful enough to halt our advance within Italy. We must crush all opposing forces and secure the region for the French crown!
	We are technically subjects of the King of France, but owing to our strength, we have been able to secure considerable autonomy. The French resent this and seek to centralize their authority. We must counteract these efforts and - with the support of France's regional nobility - lead a general revolt against the King.
	The Nguni have proven their worth in combat. They have shown their strength and cunning in battle. We should expand the militaristic resources of the Nguni and learn from their innovativeness for the wars ahead.
	Our neighbors don't always share the same religious views as we do. Our traditions have always been varied, so it's of no surprise that other different views of certain aspects exist among our brethren. We should learn as much as we can from them.
	Many years ago we were betrayed by Majapahit, leading to the terrible Battle of Bubat. Our relations have since soured, perhaps beyond repair. Perhaps the only way to ensure our safety is to subject Majapahit to our rule.
	Our origins trace way farther back than just the Ziyarid dynasty. In the times of the late antiquity, the Persian lands were ruled by Eranshahr; the glorious Sasanian Empire, a Zoroastrian realm that defied the Romans to their west.\nOf course it would be ridiculous to assume their long-lost title as we are Persians, but we can carry on their legacy by reclaiming their old territories.
	Ulug Ulus, meaning 'Great State', is the name given to the Golden Horde. It has however fallen, split between many Tatar tribes who wish to claim its mantle. We are the ones who will restore this legacy of gold.
