	Now that we have once again brought the Baltic Military Orders together in common cause, it is time to drill and prepare our fellow knights for the challenges ahead.
	The Engelbrekt Rebellion failed due to the assassination of Engelbrekt, as well as the support of Stockholm for the Danish crown. But even if Engelbrekt would have managed to gain the support of Stockholm, he had no military skills to lead the rebels to victory. We shall do better and ensure military advice when the moment of our independence war comes.
	We can only truly guarantee our survival through the establishment of a large standing army capable of taking on any of our neighbors who might seek to take our lands.
	It is our solemn duty to evangelize everywhere, to bring the Word of God to all corners of the earth. As our knowledge of the world grows, so too does our duty. Explorers in the Far East have begun making contact with Chinese merchants; it is a sign that we must go forth and proselytize among them.
	The legendary lands of Japan are beckoning us, crying out for salvation. We should seek out these islands of the Far East, and spread the Good News among their people.
	We should establish a monopoly company to trade on behalf of our nation along the Mississippi River.
	The traditional techniques of Japanese carpentry are the pride of our artisans. Constructing the most impressive buildings only with wooden joints and without the use of a single nail amazes any foreigner that lays their eyes upon them, but it's precisely those techniques passed down for generations that have allowed those same buildings to keep standing for centuries. If we promote these artisans, our country will keep standing for more centuries to come.

	Battlefields and tactics change as the years go by. The era of the bow gave way to the musket. The era of the horse slowly gave way to gunpowder. As such, we must also move with the times and ensure that our army is as disciplined and trained as can be, lest we risk falling prey to our rivals.
	Foreign colonialism threatens to wipe out our nation if we do not adapt rapidly. We must have the technology and state apparatus to challenge them.
	The advancements of the Europeans astonishes our people and Mani alike. We sided with them and started this slave trade in order to learn from their technology and advance our own civilization. It is time to modernize our our nation!
	While our army is enjoying reforms and modernization our our nation still holds old laws and rules of medieval times, and our our ruler is not perceived as the absolute ruler of our nation. We should focus on reorganizing our government and embrace the many wonders of modern technology.
	Our most important exports are textiles woven of silk and cotton. We are making advancements in industrial technology that will greatly boost our production potential. We must invest in the mass production of these exports.
	Our contact with the people of Anatolia has shown us how big of importance technology plays for the health of a state. We should modernize our army and develop tactics so that our troops can withstand the battles ahead.
	The Ottoman army is sure a force to reckon with. We should try to emulate them, we can hire some of their military instructors and buy some of their equipment, so that we can also have a formidable modern army.
	Our nation was able to see the efficiency and the brutality of the European armies in the past. Especially during the conflicts with the Sultanate Adal, our nation witnessed the technological achievements in warfare thanks to the Portuguese.

	The Christian kings of Iberia are intent on stamping out piracy. We must not let them get a foothold in the Maghreb, and to that end we must secure northern Morocco against them.
	The Sultans in Morocco have long held us in high regard. If we are ever to emerge from our precarious position in Iberia, we should consider cementing our friendship in a more formal arrangement. It should be said, however, that the glory we would gain from showing the world that we have no need of the patronizing support of our would-be benefactors, could taste even greater indeed.
	Our our nation houses many different religions. Although they do not realize it, they are still loved by Allah. It is our duty to ensure that even our heathen subjects have a mosque to visit.
