	Goal	Key








	The dawn of the 15th century has seen many advancements in the field of architecture within our borders. We should put our knowledge to good use and develop the many beautiful views of our country.
	Ever our hated enemy and rival, England continues to be a thorn in our side. We must bypass or defeat the Royal Navy, land on Great Britain itself, and put an end to the English nation once and for all.
	The greatest indicators of a thriving civilization are its monuments. Let all who look upon our works despair.
	The English are openly hostile towards our piratical ways and see us as a threat to their naval hegemony. Let us intensify their fear of us by capturing their precious city of London.
	The realms of the Low Countries produce some of the finest and most prolific cloth in Europe. It would be a shame if a fleet of our ships would happen to pay a visit to the Low Countries and take these cloth for themselves to sell them on the black market...
	The Turks are not the only unjust occupiers of Albanian lands. We must also expel the Italian merchant princes who have seized much of the coast. Albania will not be free until every last acre of land has been returned!
	The Varangians, our ancestors, were once the rulers of Eastern Europe. They established a trade route from Sweden all the way to Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Romans, in the 10th century. Over time, the Varangians eventually became the Kievan Rus, and the connection between Sweden and Greece dissolved as more and larger groups of interests found their way into Eastern Europe.\nAlthough we do not have any historical claims on Eastern Europe anymore, the trade routes of the old times still exist. These routes are our legacy, and it is our duty to reclaim them once again - either through diplomacy or through conquest.
	If there is anything our people wish to promote, it is freedom and education. By bolstering our cities in the Low Countries, we will allow ourselves to further strengthen our education, constructing new universities.
	The ports on the coastline of Burma and Arakan are littered with pirate havens, actively sabotaging the trade of the Bengal Delta, while also offering safe haven for those that would flee justice in the lands under our rule.\nIt is high time we deal with these disobedient princes.
	Yet more of our people are controlled by foreign masters. It is our duty to seek their freedom.
	The Sultan requires utmost loyalty from his vassal princes.
	Estates are as useful as dangerous if left unchecked. 'Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer' is a good summary of this philosophy.

	In order to maintain power our our nation needs strategic resources like copper and iron. While copper is not a big issue, the iron of Mpemba is not enough to sustain our economy and army. Fortunately the Luban in the east have rich iron sources. It would be useful to us if we... liberate their iron.
	While the kings of Castile have occasionally had the arrogance to declare themselves Emperor of all Spain, we will create a true union of the Iberian crowns.
	With Kannauj in our hands we must follow the Ganges and send armies further east, towards the holy cities of Varanasi, Patna and Gaya.
	The introduction of western legislation to direct the growth of our urban centers has undoubtedly helped sprung their development. However, if we are to harness the wave of urbanization cultivated by our wealth, we must reform our laws and ascertain their efficiency.
	Champaner fort is not only an excellent defensive installation, it would also make a superb forward capital for our dynasty. A place where we could display the entire splendor of our house and a base for expansion further into India.
	Although our priorities lie beyond the sea, we should not forget the threat our home continent could pose to us if left unattended. We should establish alliances with the enemies of our enemies.
	As the empire of Majapahit nears total collapse, many nobles are fleeing Java. We should welcome them to Bali to enhance our standing.
	Our expansion in Sumatra will begin with a show of force. We must demonstrate to the princes of Siak that we are greater than their former Majapahit overlords.
	Rashness is a terrible quality in a leader, but quick action, once a decision has been made, is excellent. We have been careful to build up our power base in the country, presenting every policy as something for the sake of the country and the people. Now, with our power at its apogee and our careful plans bearing fruit, we can make our move.
	Riga's position at the Daugava makes it to an excellent city for the Baltic commerce. Although not as developed as Königsberg or Danzig, the city of Riga is something of a jewel of the Baltic Sea.\nWe should set our capital to this prosperous city and expand its buildings.
	The Malay archipelago is a thriving center of commerce. Now that we have established a more direct contact with this trade network through our acquisition of Southeast Asian ports it is only natural that we also seek a local headquarters from which we might control and tax the local traffic.\nMalacca is in many ways the ideal base of operations for us. Let us introduce this idea to the Malaccans themselves.

	The Cham are a Malay people, but we have become isolated from much of the Malay world. We should rebuild our connections by seeking an alliance with one of the emerging Muslim powers in Nusantara.
	Mandu is renowned for its elaborate art and architecture, most prominently our grand tombs and shrines. We should aim to replicate the grandeur of Mandu beyond the capital.
	The powerful Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt is one of the two most powerful Muslim States in all of Dar al-Islam. It must, therefore, be subjected to a humiliation.
	A our ruler should rule in an absolute manner. No tribal leader should defy our authority, as the quest to become the greatest of khans requires becoming the strongest in the realm.
	The great Dragon of China has always been a looming threat breathing upon our neck. It is time for the Tiger of Japan to finally put that lizard in its place.
	The once great time of Mansa Musa is over, yet our realm was never able to recover from it.\nThis must change! The legitimacy of all the Mansas after Musa has been heavily questioned and none of them gained the support of our people. our ruler will see this fate as they will lead our troops to victory personally.
	The military of the Empire needs an entire overhaul. The time of Janissaries, Yayas and Derbendjis is long over. Now a new force, the Victorious Army of Muhammad, shall lead our great nation to victory!
	Although Temujin is long dead, his successors still live. It is up to us to claim the mantle of creating the greatest empire the world has ever seen.
	Affluent trade goods from overseas have flooded our territories for some years. Now we have the opportunity to replicate and create new goods on our own, profiting from selling them among our people and even exporting them overseas.
	Marabouts have been spreading the Five Pillars of Islam through the region for generations. Now it's time to support their efforts, making their word spread more widely.
	The Straits of Malacca are a vital point through which commerce flows. We must hold it in our grasp so that we are the ones to control its flow.
	The Maratha have a long martial tradition and know these lands better than we do. They could be a powerful adversary, or a strong ally against the imperialistic powers that covet our lands.
	No Khan must be left in Central Asia to challenge our rule. Our dominance over the region must be absolute.

	The Caucasus is divided by numerous kingdoms which are surrounded by Muslim threats. Their doom is impending if we are not to intervene in their misfortune. The Christians of these mountains must be protected - either by the sword or by the pen.
