	Our old rivals in the Pagan Kingdom were skilled architects and devout Buddhists. Their pagodas have fallen into decay under Ava, and we should restore them.
	There is no shame in using the faith of men for secular purposes. Harnessing the power of the church is something that any intelligent prince should pursue to the utmost.
	Bohemia reigns supreme once again. However, a Margrave in our court has slyly pointed out that we possess a legitimate claim to the lands of our forebears, the Premyslids. Times have moved on and borders shifted, but we believe some of these claims still carry weight.

	In preparation for our invasion of Malacca, we must construct a worthy fleet as well as ensuring that our actions will not provoke the Chinese Emperor.
	Malwa has a great many rivals and threats. We must raise an army not only to defend ourselves from our rivals, but to launch our own invasions.
	The wheels of war turn slowly. If we are to stand a chance of achieving our goals, we must have sizeable standing forces, plentiful reinforcements, and skilled leaders to direct them.

	We are surrounded by many countries that at any time could become our potential enemies. We must be prepared for that.
	Outside our borders we still have many enemies, heathens that follow terrible gods and that want to bring about our demise. We need to gather our strength as quickly as possible and prepare for an unavoidable war.

	The great Timur's hordes were a fearsome sight to behold. We cannot hope to reunite his legacy with a pitiful handful of soldiers.
	The armies of Castile have encroached ever further into land once rightfully conquered by our predecessors, the Almohads. Decades of instability in our nation must be put aside, and grievances abandoned, in order to begin the process of reclaiming our diminishing heritage.
	The surrounding kingdoms squabble and fight between themselves. What we need is an army to unite the disparate nations of Peru.

	For too long have we failed in our duty of care to the peoples of Iberia. We should prepare to unite them under one banner.

	Since our formation on the ruins of Ifat, the barbaric Christians of Ethiopia have always been a threat to our nation. While our most recent victory over Ethiopia gained us the province of our nation in 1443, it is only a matter of time until the Ethiopians strike back. We should prepare our forces for the conflicts ahead.
	The island of Madagascar is just in front of our coast, a prize too sweet to ignore. And it's full of infidels to boot. We must levy an army and a fleet, and prepare to take it.
	It is clear that the teachings of the Prophet are the only one true faith. We must be prepared to fight any that dared say otherwise.
	Pilgrimages to Mecca are a sacred duty for every pious Muslim. It has additional meaning to us as traditionally our Mansas travelled to Mecca with riches in the name of Allah. This time an even greater pilgrimage should be undertaken - one which goes through the wonders of Europe too. But for that we need the economy to finance the our ruler's journey and a competent court which takes over their duties in the meantime.
	The western tip of Arabia in conjunction with the horn of Africa form natural anchorages, docks, and markets at a prestigious position for incoming and outgoing valuable trade. Expanding our influence in that area will surely be very profitable.
	The Christian communities of the Upper Nile and beyond are under constant threat from heathens. We must do what we can to support these people in their struggle.
	Our dramatic decline must be dramatically reversed. Once we have secured the throne, our faith, and the loyalty of our subjects we can emerge from the darkness.
	We cannot allow Dai Viet to fall to dynastic feuds. We will remain one nation, strong and stable.
	We have heard disturbing reports from Stockholm; its masters plan a devastating invasion of Poland, aiming to reduce our nation to ashes. This must not come to pass; we must strike at Stockholm before they strike at us!
	We have triumphed in diverting the crisis. While the kingdom may need more time to completely rebound from the upheaval, we are hopeful that this period of recuperation will bring about a renewal of our strength, a resurgence in our economy and commerce, and usher in a new era of prosperity.
	The Khmer Empire is reeling from the Thai invasion. We should use this opportunity to sack their new capital and claim the Mekong.
	The mighty Timurid Empire is in its death throes. As Shah Rukh's life is inevitably coming to an end, the treacherous princes of Persia stand behind him with daggers poised, eager to seek a most bloody retribution. This chaos presents a unique opportunity for us to strike the Timurids while they are weak and open the way for the subjugation of Persia.
	Following the disastrous fall of Constantinople to the Crusaders in 1204, many minor splinters of the Empire have formed. One of them was the Komnenos realm formed in Pontus. Claiming to be the rightful heirs, they are mere pretenders destined to be destroyed. Their rule mostly extends over the Laz people. They are no emperors, but mere princes!
	The name of our people in our own language is Aniyunwiya, the principal people. We hold that name because our tribe is destined for greatness and, if we wish to fulfill that destiny, we need to start increasing our prestige.
	Our land is home to pastures and fields of open green as far as the eye can see. It would be unwise to not utilize such fertile land both figuratively and literally. If we are to embrace the new trends that sweep over Europe, such as the press, we must designate a proper area within which it shall flourish.
	Many landed nobles in our realm do not follow the religion of our state. Since it's unwise to oppose such a powerful potential benefactor of our state, we must align these aristocrats by granting them special privileges.
	We have seized the opportunity to become the head of the Holy Roman Empire, opening a new era in it. Now we have to leave the mark of our new government on this old polity.
	Our great nation has come a long way, standing tall against formidable foes, reclaiming lands of religious importance, and restoring our faith to prominence. Yet, there is still a mission that beckons us, one that will bring us closer to our ancestral roots and promise a new era of prosperity - the reconquest of our ancestral lands. The provinces lost in previous centuries are not just territories; they are the heart and soul of our Armenian identity. Only by uniting these lands under our rule can we truly say that Armenia has been restored to its ancient glory. The journey will be fraught with challenges, but once completed, we can stand proudly and proclaim the advent of Great Armenia, marking the beginning of a new Golden Age.
	We have devoted so much effort and resources to securing our power and position, that we are now considered to hold Hegemony over the Baltic!
	Our successes in China have brought the fruits of our labor to our people. Victorious campaigns and driving the enemy further south have led to us amassing enough credibility so as to proclaim the beginning of a potentially powerful dynasty.
	A nomadic people are always on the move. But we, too, crave a safe zone where the our ruler can reside and plan his further conquests. our capital shall fulfill this purpose.
	The lands of Arabia are renowned for various rare and artisanal goods. We should monopolize the production on at least one of them so that we might control their price.
	We must transition away from the practice of hiring mercenaries to fight our battles. Instead we will establish a professional army for our nation.
	We must raid our enemies to gain their resources, we will keep them weak and make us stronger. Then they will be much easier to crush later.
	Due to our focus on commerce and religious influence we are able to accumulate great wealth. However, wealth means nothing if we cannot use it to influence the world. There are plenty of powers whose fate hangs in the balance - and we should use our own power to influence the outcome.
	Firearms have become ubiquitous in our country, and their usefulness is undeniable. We must expand their fabrication if we don't want to fall behind our enemies.
	The Promissione Ducale is the oath of office all candidates must swear by to become the new Doge of Venice. It outlines the duties of the Doge, and states the limits on the Doge's powers. Over the years, however, some of the checks have... waned, a little. If we were to draft a new primissione ducale, one that more firmly restates our values and the roles envisioned for the Doge, not only would our government be strengthened, but more virtuous candidates for office might step forward as well.
