	In centuries past, the harsh inland Maya Lowlands used to be inhabited by great cities building grand monuments and forging powerful states. Since then, many of those polities have been abandoned and the cities, if not desolate, are certainly shells of their former selves.
	It is more than clear that we cannot let our armies be led by some peasant who claims to have read some Chinese book about war. We must ensure that our are prepared to become generals for our ranks.
	The Iberian Kingdoms fall before our might. Yet their people refuse to subject themselves to the Angevin crown. We shall take officially the Spanish crown and show the Iberians our benevolence by investing in their underdeveloped land
	The Angevin Kings ruled over a full half of the French lands, ensuring prosperity and justice were freely available. Reuniting these lands under one Crown will ensure our continued success.
	Our fortunes are on the rise. Kings bow before our majesty, nations cave before our forces. There is only one throne greater than ours left to topple.
	Centuries ago, the Angles and Saxons settled Britain and provided the roots of what would become the English people. Although our languages have diverged since then, in a sense, our peoples are still brothers. It is time for us to be one again.
	The Fortress of Strasbourg defends one of the major crossing points on the upper Rhine. To help defend France we must push forward our frontier to the Rhine and ensure that we, and no other, controls that fortress.

	The Carpathian basin is home to our brethren of faith who suffer under heretic occupation. It is our duty to liberate these poor souls from the claws of its oppressors.
	Cyprus is the crown jewel of the Eastern Mediterranean. From Cyprus, we could exert magnificent control over the maritime trade of the Levant, of Anatolia - even Egypt! First, however, we must take the island.

	Ever since the Han Emperors the people of Dai Vet have recognized the mandate from heaven that the great Emperor has. It is time to remind them once again.
	The port of Genoa and its hinterlands sit too close to the French Mediterranean shore, we should incorporate these into our Kingdom to protect our Mediterranean coast.

	In 1225, the Duke Conrad of Mazovia requested our service in the Baltics. Our enemies were the pagan Baltic tribes, who refused to christianize. One of these tribes was the one of todays Lithuania.\nThey claim to be faithful Catholics now, but their behavior and aggression against us suggest other things. We must continue our crusade against the Lithuanians and take hold over their lands!
	Mogadishu is the pearl of the Horn of Africa. The city is a splendid trade center, attracting merchants from all of the Arab and Indian world. It is time to integrate this beautiful city and use its influence to our benefit.
	our nation has been under our influence for long, but it is time we take direct control of it, it must be within our own territory.
	The fertile farmlands of Poland could yield great profits and feed many in our nation if they could be wrested away from the incompetent rule of our enemies. We should launch an invasion of Poland to secure as much of this fertile land as possible.

	Ruthenia is close to be completely ours. Only a few more campaigns of conquest are necessary for the region to be completely united under our banner.
	The Duchy of Savoy defends the Italian invasion route into France. To ensure this invasion route is properly protected we must incorporate Savoy into France.

	In order to achieve true hegemony in the Baltics we have to ensure that no coastline can endanger our trade nor our national security. Right now, however, the areas of Pomerania and Mecklenburg are in foreign hands, which might be against our interests. We should conquer it for ourselves.
	A military campaign through Germany requires resources and especially Ducats. While our economy can sustain our country, it is still not as strong as it could be. The cities of the Lower Saxons are part of the Hansa, and as such they are important hubs of trade and commerce. We should annex these cities and take advantage of the Hanseatic merchants.
	Many Mongols have begun to adopt the Tibetan Buddhist faith. We should conquer Tibet to make sure that this faith is firmly under the control of our banner.
	Our old rivals from the steppe have established themselves in Tibet, whose lords have to accept our overlordship. It is time to integrate Tibet into the Celestial Empire.
	Many Mongols have begun to adopt the Tibetan Buddhist faith. We should conquer Tibet to make sure that this faith is firmly under the control of the Khanate.
	Hungary was one of the main contributors to the Frankish Crusade against us. Even if not as an independent kingdom but a subject to the House von Habsburg, the Hungarian still pose a serious threat to our dominance in the Balkans long after their defeat at Varna.\nWe must strike first and seize their lands for ourselves before they can reorganize into another coalition against us.
	The fat and treacherous merchants of 'The Most Serene Republic' engineered the fall of Constantinople to the Latin invaders of the Fourth Crusade in 1204. Our subsequent and miraculous recovery has long been a source of concern in the Palazzo Ducale. The time is ripe to exact our gruesome vengeance and hang the Doge from his own walls!

	The Hohenzollerns of Ansbach are closely related to our own line. We should ensure that the Ansbach succession eventually results in a reunion with our cousins.
	Syria is home to two of the Pentarchy seats. Settled since ancient times, home to Jesus Christ himself, we must take full control of the province and restore this important region back to the Roman Empire.
	Why should the rule be handed to adults only? If a child proves to be a great warrior or a great leader, they should be allowed to declare themselves as Khan. Instead of allowing corrupt or incompetent warlords to become khans, we should strive to make any child be Khan.
	The Bambara of Segu in the Massina region expressed great discomfort under our rule. They wish to break away from us. As a result, they are now reaching for our rival Songhai to gain support in their independence movement.\nWe cannot allow that to happen! We should appease the Bambara as fast as possible in order to keep them within our realm.
	The various dynasties within our realm may not hold much power over the French crown but must nevertheless be appeased if we are to ask for their cooperation in times of need.
	Keeping the estates contented has often been a difficult and tiresome balancing act for the our our rulers. We must end the dissent and division that has plagued our lands and ensure that all work together as one to achieve the aim of greater glory and prosperity.
	Religion isn't as important as it used to be. Within the inland cities, kings used to be priests and truly grand monuments were made towards the greatness of the Gods. Let us appease our patrons angered by our change of lifestyle.
	The Ogboni have always been an influential part of our government. Apart from their involvement in religious matters, they also have influence in the appointment of rulers. As such, we need to make sure they are on our side.
	The Oyo Mesi, our council of nobles, have always been an integral part of our government. No ruler can be enthroned without their approval, and they can also remove him from the throne if they deem him too tyrant. We must keep them happy with our rule.
	The Patriarchate is the base of our legitimacy to rule over the Russians. If it was not for their approval the country would break apart in discord and chaos. We must assure the loyalty of the patriarch.
	Our religion is one of the pillars of our society. Appeasing the religious estates of the nation will strengthen our rule and prove the piety of our rulers to everyone.
	It is far too easy for the hereditary nobles to amass power and acquire delusions of their importance. They should be replaced, as far as possible, with skilled administrators loyal to the state rather than to themselves.
	War has changed. What used to be populated by ill-equipped levied armies made up mostly by peasants and poorly-trained men has now given way to properly trained armed forces and standing armies. To address concerns of the court in regards to military matters, we must appoint a war minister and take control of a modernized military.
	The people of our nation are the most renowned merchants of Arabia. Their influence extends to many ports of the Indian Ocean, and we have reaped the benefits of that influence. Perhaps if we give some of these merchants more power in our country they will be willing to help us even more.

	To further fortify our grip over the Indian Ocean we must occupy the major trade ports of the Arabian Sea. No ship must enter the Arabian Sea without a Gujarati permit!
	For centuries we have been forced to go to great lengths to attract the great scholars, warriors and entrepreneurs from Persia to come and settle in the much richer, but also distant, Deccan. Our growing maritime influence presents us with an opportunity to take our business to them instead. Let us seize the important ports of the northern Arabian Sea, and never risk being cut off from the Persianate world again.
	Our dreams of mercantile and seafaring dominance over the Indian Ocean and the rest of Asia has been achieved. Our merchants are free to buy and sell their riches from every corner of our overseas empire. Let this be a new age for any opportunistic merchant of Islam.

	India's exports largely find their way to the markets of Arabia. We could surely increase our profit by controlling not only the point of manufacture, but also the point of sale.
