	Our religion and the church stand as foundational pillars of our identity. The Georgian Church holds a position of great antiquity and reverence worldwide. As our state's influence continues to expand, there is a growing chorus advocating for the elevation of our autocephalous church to the esteemed status of a patriarchate.
	Although Rudolf von Habsburg ceded Romagna and other territories to our holy domain in the 13th century, our control has often been nominal at best. It is time we asserted the temporal authority of Rome and brought these wayward lands back under our control.
	We have managed to kickstart a true revolution of knowledge and education in Hungary, but if we wish to keep this status, we will have to ensure that the future rulers of Hungary are properly educated in multiple disciplines so that their vast knowledge will lead Hungary to great heights.
	Our people are blessed with artistic talent and an inventive spirit. We would be well advised to enhance our reputation as enlightened our rulers by encouraging them to channel these abilities towards the splendor of our court and the glory of our nation.
	During the time of the great conqueror Timur, the capital cities of his empire became bright jewels of the Middle East. Artists, artisans, and craftsmen from all over the empire have been relocated to the city so they can use their skills to create unrivaled beauty.\nWe shall revive his legacy once again, and develop our capital to the gem of our nation.
	As we plunder the seas for wealth and slaves, we should not neglect to nourish our souls with culture, learning, and faith. To that end we must renovate the Great Mosque at Kairwan and ensure that our people are spiritually content.
	Arts and literature are the lifeblood of a civilization, reflecting its spirit, preserving its history, and nurturing its imagination, for they are the canvas on which the soul of our empire is painted. By fostering a vibrant milieu of artists, poets, and writers, and by supporting their work, we shall allow the artistic and literary landscape to flourish.

	Hindus of each region practice their faith differently, each worshiping different but related gods. To show conquered peoples the benevolence of our rule, we should patronize their deities by constructing temples in their cities.
	A number of Sufi mystics have begun to settle on the frontier regions of the Delta. These towns and villages are underdeveloped, and would gain much from our patronage. We should support the efforts of these Sufis to bring prosperity to the Delta.
	The Jains long ago ceased to be a dominant religion in India, but their remaining communities are far from irrelevant. As skilled administrators and moneylenders, they may yet provide a valuable service to our nation.
	The basics of education that pertain to the preservation of vital knowledge, are some of the defining features of our society. To cultivate the next generation is to ensure our future.
	The 'Great Schools' of Venice are a variety of fraternities and other social organizations for the laity. Although they started off primarily dedicated to charitable activities, over the ages their purposes have gradually expanded, and now many of them support such varied activities as music, the arts, and medicine. Patronizing these organizations would go a long way towards endearing ourselves to the well-to-do citizens who run and fill out the ranks of these institutions.
	It is said that under the rule of the great Khans of the past, a woman could walk from one end of the Empire to the other with a nugget of gold on her head and travel with no fear. We shall restore this peace throughout our lands.

	No great power of this world can compete with us; no heretic or heathen empire can threaten us. The people of our great our nation live in stable and secure times while the great our ruler rules with strength and wisdom over our vast empire.
	Europe has been troubled by war between the great powers and minor princes alike for generations. It is time to put an end to conflict. Under our benevolent rule we shall expand the Empire drastically so as to usher in a golden age of peace and prosperity.

	In 1435 the King of Denmark was forced to give away the monopoly of his markets to German merchants from Lübeck. It would be wise to reaffirm the terms of that treaty however we see fit.
	As religious warfare ravages its way through Europe, the need for a truce begins to increase. The talks in Westphalia will determine the future of the Holy Roman Empire and the entire Christian world.
	Tabriz, the glorious city, is the heart of our realm, throbbing with life, culture, and commerce. It's time to elevate it even further, transforming it into the 'Pearl of the Empire', a city of unrivaled prestige and wealth. Tabriz must become a city of wonder, the city of the world's desire, attracting scholars, merchants, and artisans from all corners of the earth.

	The pride of hosting the most powerful navy across the entire Mediterranean is but the natural evolution of our superior management and finances, a testament to our proficiency and knowledge of the sea.
	While Constantinople was in imminent danger of an invasion, a fraction of the Byzantine scholars has made Morea their home, giving the peninsula a true rebirth. Originating from Peloponnese was Gemistos Plethon, a philosopher who studied the works of Plato and had deep connections to the old beliefs.
	Conquering the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is no easy task. Let us impose our Imperial influence in the Holy Roman Empire and claim these lands for ourselves, lest we risk the Emperor demand them for himself.
	We must push ever further into the steppe. The Kazakhs must be made to join our Horde as we march eastward.

	There is a rock as white as a child's teeth, and its size is parallel only to the moon. It is said that our ancestors lived there and then extended their lands to other rocks as white and as big as that one, the teeth, the moon.
	Galleass is the adoption of the heavy Galleons to the combat standards favoring the Mediterranean galleys. Let us improve upon this invention so that our fleets can ensure the Mediterranean is 'Our Sea'!
	The Haka is a ceremonial dance in our culture, often used as a way of challenging our rivals. By performing the Haka we are showing our enemies that we do not fear them in the slightest. They can come and try to bring us down. If they dare.
	Many daimyos have suffered from erratic finances, causing some to default on loans they have taken. Enabling smaller money change shops to offer more reliable loans, and to back up those loans with our own reserves, should help stabilize daimyos' finances and perhaps foster a healthier domestic economy.

	The loyalty of the tribal leader is always weak and fickle. Only powerful and authoritative leaders can keep the tribes under control. A transition to a more sedentary power would help resolve such problems.
	As the capital of both the Ilkhans and the Black Sheep, Tabriz is a city of central importance. It controls the greater area of Azerbaijan in western Persia. We must reclaim this region in its entirety.
	With our foothold established in Persia, we need to start making preparations for securing inland fortifications. The Persian kingdoms may try to oppose us, but we will make sure that we will not be defeated again.
	The lands of Persia serve as a great base for our traders to reside in. Being the crossroad between Islam, China, and India, securing it can allow us to more effectively steer any trade towards our realm.
	The position at the crossroads between the West and India lends the Persian Gulf the potential to form a rich commercial node. Let us realize this potential to its fullest.
	The last centuries has seen Eastern Persia blossom as a center of learning and culture. As an empire to unite the Persian cultural sphere we must ensure that the great cities of Khorasan: Herat, Nishapur and Mashad, are properly consolidated within the Persian realm.
	It is time to exploit the Persian and Indian wealth to its fullest. Let us make sure that all Indian and Arabian merchants go to Hormuz and Mogostan for their trade and not to Zanzibar or Aden.
	Persia is famous for its finest rugs. As the prime successor of the Persians, let us continue the traditions of carpet-making and supply the world with rugs made in Persia. Today, it's the carpets and tomorrow it shall be everything.
	Our struggle to be seen as an intellectual giant as well as an economical one has finally taken us all the way to Persia itself. Let us take the great cities of this land under our wings and bestow lavish patronage on their people.
	What good is a State without a Prince? In order for our nation to succeed, we need someone capable at the helm, someone with the rare gift of gab to navigate the treacherous waters of Italian diplomacy.
	We are a land blessed by the Lord himself. But the clerical institutions have a wildly different idea how the religious matters are handled. We must secure the piety of the state and assume control over the church.
	The security of our people has long been politically safeguarded by the Prince-Archbishop of Bremen. We must continue to seek ecclesiastical support so that we are not left to the mercy of opportunistic feudal lords.
	Remember; it has to rhyme!
	The pirates of North Africa are numerous, but disorganized. We should establish designated ports along the coast where these pirates can find a safe haven from our enemies and bring their plunder to our markets.
	Ours has always been a sea of pirates. We have been given a reputation of marauders and thieves, but they have failed to acknowledge the benefits that a good pirate fleet can actually give a nation - like new coasts to raid.
