	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.
	During the glorious reign of the Angevin kings of Hungary, the Holy Crown came into possession of Naples. With the Adriatic sea firmly under our control, we are free to press our claims for the Neapolitan crown and reclaim the legacy of Louis the Great.
	Centuries ago, the great Seljuk Empire carved a path of glory across the vast landscapes of Persia and Khorasan, their legacy echoing still in the winds that sweep across these ancient lands. As the Aq Qoyunlu, we are the descendants of these formidable warriors and wise rulers. The time has come for us to honor our ancestors by achieving what they did – the total subjugation of Persia and Khorasan.

	Under the rule of King David, who was renowned as the Builder, Georgia flourished in a golden age. Let us take inspiration from his remarkable legacy and work towards bestowing our cities with fame, wealth, and significance.
	Historically, the Komnenoi have had strong ties with the Latin crusaders of the Levant - both diplomatically and militarily. As we now once again possess control over much of the former Byzantine lands, perhaps, it is time to rekindle our crusader legacy and set our eyes on the liberation of the Holy Land.
	The Safaviyya established the foundations of our religious beliefs and shapes our society. We shall establish a tribute fitting to the Safavid dynasty and their order to honor their legacy!
	Long ago, our ancestors settled deep within Greek lands, even penetrating the Peloponnese. These lands are ours by birthright, and we must strive to retake them for ourselves.
	The steppes are calling us once again. The legacy of our ancestors, the Seljuk Empire, is on our shoulders. We shall honor their glory and restore their achievements.
	Timur brought fear and death upon his enemies. He created an empire based on the success of the Mongolian Empire. We shall take his mantle and embrace the Legacy of Timur!
	The Muslims of the north and travelers from the west claim we are the praised land of Ophir, a place from their holy writings where the cities are made out of gold. We should live up to this legend and increase our gold mining. If not for increasing our prestige then at least for our economy.
	Honest discourse and intellectual freedom are the foundations upon which our universities rest. State support and promotion of our esteemed and open institutions of higher learning is sure to attract talented minds from across Europe.

	By establishing military hospitals for our brave veterans we can reduce the time it takes to put them back on the front lines. It will also be an excellent opportunity for medical research that will be useful for the general citizenry.
	Although there are many great powers trying to rule over the world, in the end it is the Ducat which has the final say. Nations rise and fall on its whim. We shall not be one of the many empires fading into obscurity, however.
	The Mamluks, who currently reign over the Levant, are a formidable power in the region. They stand as a strong barrier to our holy cause of expanding the Christian faith. Their rule has not only hindered our religious mission but also threatens the balance of power in the region. A crusade against them, while daunting, is the only path forward.
	The Holy Lands have been hotly contested by Christians and Muslims, and we would be remiss if we did not continue the fight. We should do everything in our power to ensure that the lands of the Levant are brought back under the rule of Catholic princes.
	Damascus was the site of the capital of the very origin of the Umayyad dynasty. Syria itself is an ancient and holy land - it must be treated with care and respect, however, it must also be ours.
	The Arno flows through the heart of Florence, but it has always been a wild, treacherous river. Floods happen regularly, and cause extensive damage to the city and the surrounding area. With all our resources and power, it is time we built the strongest embankments in Italy and tamed the wild Arno.
	The magnates are central to Polish government and society. We have to handle their status in the kingdom, either by giving them more power or by curtailing it.
	Our sights are set on finally dealing with our troublesome Gaelic neighbors. They may suffer from a lack of recognizable nobility and bureaucracy, but they do put up quite a fight. Raise an army, and seize their land!
	Alexandria is home to the ancient seat of the Coptic Patriarchate and the Coptic Pope. However, the church and a large part of the Coptic community suffer under foreign, infidel rule of the Mamluks. We must free the city from the Muslims and help the Copts, which are still in hiding.
	The Patriarchate of Alexandria and of all Africa is the largest Coptic Church in the world but its ancient seat as well as a large part of the Coptic community currently languishes under foreign ruler. We must liberate Alexandria and reinvigorate the Egyptian Coptic Community!
	The Bulgarian people have been under foreign occupation of one kind or another for many years. First, the self-proclaimed Roman Empire, then the Turks, who were surely cruel overlords. Liberate them.
	Cairo is the largest Coptic city in existence and since centuries it is the residence of the Patriarch of Alexandria. We cannot allow this city to be in the hands of unbelievers. We must liberate the Coptic community of Cairo and free the Egyptian Copts.
	The lands of Cilician Armenians have fallen to the Turks. Let us liberate our brethren and let them rejoice under the rule of the Cross once again.
	The Duchy of Normandy is a de jure subject of the Kingdom of France. It should be returned to our rule.
	The grand cities of Isbiliyah and Qurtuba were once renowned throughout the known world, as bastions of Islamic thought. If we are to retake our rightful place on the world stage, we must evict the foreign oppressors, and restore them to their former glory.
	The Polish Commonwealth is both weak and unfit to rule the proud Ruthenian and Byelorussian peoples and other countries have also come to this realization. It is high time we act before the region is partitioned among our rivals.

	Sheik Hussein has been in the hands of the Coptic infidels for too long. It's time we retake it for the glory of Islam.
	If we are to ever hope to beat the Ottomans, we must strike at their mainland in Europe. Balkans is that mainland, so we must prepare a campaign against them.
	Foreign oppressors have burdened the Balkans for too long. A strong Bohemian presence will be their liberation. Under our just rule, the people of the Balkans will enjoy freedom and prosperity.
	The Armenian mother see of Holy Etchmiadzin still stands strong but the Armenian Copts have not had their own state since the fall of their Kingdoms in 1360 and 1375. Let us liberate the Armenian Copts once and for all under our own banner!
	The Turkmen tribe of Qara Qoyunlu, often referred to as the Black Sheep Turkomans, have long encroached upon and now control large swathes of our ancestral Armenian lands. It is a matter of national pride and duty that we liberate these lands and free our brethren from their reign. The liberation of our homeland is the key to fully realize the dream of a united and Great Armenia.
	The Kalmar Union was de facto the unifying force of all of Scandinavia. However, the Danes only used the Union to push their own agendas, and viewed our our nation as nothing but a mere province. This must end now! The time for an independent our nation has come!
	The complete history of China has been gathered in our archives, with any material hostile to the Qing being excluded to avoid the spread of dissent.
	It is time to compile a complete history of China, gathering books from across the land to copy into our new libraries. This will also present an opportunity to censor books that contain ideas that might disrupt the harmony of Manchu rule.
	Since the defeat of Varna, our country has been building a strong and drilled army that would protect us from all the neighboring threats. If we are to protect our borders, we must utilize the lessons we are taught in the art of warfare. Choose which area of our armed forces shall spearhead our military efforts for eons to come.
	The Naha Stone is a sacred symbol of the Naha Clan on the Great Island. It is believed that the stone can distinguish if the bloodline of a clan's newborn is legitimate or not. Its power, though, goes far beyond. That who is able to lift the stone is destined to be the ruler of the archipelago.
	Centuries have passed since the fall of the Eastern patriarchates into the hands of Muslims, and since then, Christians have lived under their cruel domination. Our holy legions will ensure the liberation of these cities and their restoration. Let us remind the world that the light of the East has not yet been extinguished!
	The world is much bigger now than in the age of our ancestors. The Great Powers are shaping the earth to their will. We can not allow those faithless giants to do with it as they see fit; instead, we must come together, pick up the torch of faith and guide the proud people of the Horn of Africa to paradise.
	We have already proved the strength of our army, but that is not enough. When a thunder strikes the earth, the soil becomes more fertile in that area; when thunder strikes our men, we shall as well raise stronger.
	We cannot risk the rise of a powerful foe on our eastern border. To ensure that, we must swiftly make a move against them and secure their lands.
	We are known as the Lion of the North: a majestic beast of grace and power.\nBut from this day forward we shall also be known as the Lion of the Empire as we will finally unite the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans under our own banner!
	As the only truly centralized realm and a kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire, we have the perfect position to assert our claims and exploit the weak structures of the Empire for our own benefit. We are the lion of the Empire, and we shall claim our destiny!
	We are the unchallenged power of the British Isles; the tamer of the stubborn German princes and members of the Hansa; the lord of the Baltic; the unmovable wall against eastern aggression. We are the Scandinavian great power which intimidates even the fearless Polish hussars or the brave French musketeers.\nWe are the Lion of the North!
	The Livonian Order is the other Military Order founded in the Baltic. Created in 1202 in the city of Riga, the Livonian Order made Christianising the Baltic Samogitians their goal. After their crushing defeat in 1236, the Livonian Order became an ally of the Teutonic Order, and together we converted the Baltic lands to the true faith.\n\nWe should rebuild the alliance with them, so we have each others back in future times of need.
	The history of the realms of Ndongo and Loango is obscure and, just like our own history, based on legends. Despite that, these two states are vassal states of our nation - at least in name that is. Both kingdoms are no longer fit to be ruled by their own rulers and should be integrated into our own our nation instead.
