	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.
	In the face of danger and outside threats, we must display our piety and strength of faith with vigor and pride against those who seek to eradicate us and the unbelievers.
	Runasimi, or 'Human Speech' in Quechua is what the Incas call their language. It is believed that the Incas adopted the language as imperial Lingua Franca as it was already widespread before their expansion. Before that, however, it is theorized they spoke Aimara or another local language.
	Along the trade routes, the silkworm has escaped China and entered Europe centuries ago, with the art of Sericulture taking strong roots in Italy. The production of this luxurious textile must be promoted.
	No monarch rules alone. Let us take an example from the Quran and seek advice on what the population and members of our court would like to be done about our nation.
	The Bandeirantes are private expeditionaries dedicated to exploring the Brazilian interior in search of natives to enslave. Now however there are whispers that there is gold to be found in the interior, which has caused many among the Bandeirantes to diversify their interests. We should sponsor their expeditions so that as many sources of gold are discovered as possible.
	Our famous carnival dates back to 1162 and our magnificent victory over the Patriarch of Aquileia. Since then, the festivities have become even grander, the costumes more ornate, and the celebrations all the more decadent. Quite frankly, its magnificence is all out of proportion for what it's supposed to celebrate, but we can use that to our advantage. The more we expose foreign diplomats to the grandeur of Carnevale, the faster word of our opulence shall spread.

	Our faith is a strong one, but it could be stronger still. Our church needs our help in order to gain the authority and unity it rightfully deserves, and in return the church will gain some confidence in us.
	With our betrayal that we have inflicted upon our the burghers, the trust between them and the state has become seriously strained. Let us rectify the mistakes of old and give them hope in our rule.
	The trade fairs across our nations are home to bustling economic activity as well as prosperity. By funding and expanding this tradition we will succeed in spreading out more prosperity across our realm.
	To keep our armies in shape, we must keep them in fighting spirit. When we are not at war, we must create war, either externally or internally. For that, we must further promote our society to participate in wargames we may initiate.
	The multitudes of small towns that dot the German landscape must be transformed into glorious cities, each a beacon of culture and commerce.

	A conquering people must have a martial culture. We must promote those castes of society that make war their profession; the Rajputs, the Marathas, the Kshatriyas or even foreign nobility could help us achieve this goal.
	The Pronoiars are mostly hereditary landholders who have been rewarded for their loyal military service. Perhaps the system could see amendments to improve their capabilities, perhaps mimicking the Ottoman Timars.
	Great powers have risen on this world and are now deciding the fate of Africa; our fate! Although we are no warrior kingdom we will be forced to show our strength through force by defeating another great power in a war. Else we will never be masters of our own fate.
	A reformed military serves nothing if it does not experience the heat of war. We should test our tactics, manpower and equipment on the battlefield and prove that our army can handle any enemy.
	Our lands east of the Alps occupy an important spot on the crossroads between Genoa, Venice and France. Investing in their prosperity would not just mean more money flowing into our coffers but would also help us establish a base from which we can expand our holdings in Italy.
	We must increase state income by any means necessary. Money is a requirement for any endeavor of the state, from the daily expenses of the government to the maintenance of armies to invade our enemies.
	Our great unification cannot be purely political. We must do our utmost to provide security and economic strength for all Italians, so that we all may prosper.

	There shall be no limits to our prosperity; our capital must be the economic center of the world!
	Turmoil, struggles and wars have seen that we obtain all of China and her vast wealth in the palm of our hand. However, war is neither the only nor the best path to historical excellence. To elevate our name as worthy and imperial we must invest both inwards as we do outwards and cultivate our culture as well as literacy.
	The Habsburgs of Austria have made repeated attempts to subjugate our nation. We must muster our forces and seek friends amongst their enemies.
	The Daimyos of Japan have traditionally seen Korean merchants and trade ports as rich, unprotected pickings for their fleets. We must ensure that they no longer present such a tempting target.
	The Spanish will remain a constant threat to our maritime empire for as long as their fleet can outmatch ours. To push them back from the Italian shores, we must expand our fleet and ensure that it is more than a match for the Spanish.
	The Ottoman Turks are engaged in a dangerous spree of territorial conquest that threatens to engulf Christendom. We must ensure that the borders are fortified against the inevitable Turkish onslaught.

	Skanderbeg's struggle against Turkish rule must be honored. The Albanian people shall be liberated!
	The Emirate of Granada cannot survive alone; the Christian kingdoms will surely annex it given the opportunity. We must bring the Emir under our protection to secure the last bastion of Islam in Iberia.
	The Kingdom of Hungary is greatly weakened by the aftermath of the battle of Varna, making the rise of the Ottomans even more dangerous for the entire region. It is now our duty to redouble our efforts to strengthen our relationship and provide additional support in these grim times.
	Jainism is on the decline throughout India, yet many Jain communities remain in our cities. We must ensure that they are content so that they can help our nation prosper.
	Lanka is the heart of Theravada Buddhism. Its shrines protect sacred relics such as the Tooth of the Buddha, it is the last refuge of Pali literature, and a vital source of monastic consecration. It cannot be allowed to fall into heathen hands.
	The Sultanate of Morocco has been in a precarious situation ever since the Reconquista decimated the Muslims in Iberia. As faithful Muslims it is our duty to take over the Sultanate of Morocco and protect it from the claws of the avaricious Christian kingdoms.
	With the Kalmar Union no more the Kingdom of Norway has been cast adrift in a hostile world friendless. It is our duty as good neighbor to put them under our protection.
	The Fetishist faith may be heathen to us and to the Islam, but it is an important part of our identity; our people, and as such we must protect this legacy from religious zealots who want to destroy it.
	We have been given a strong and viable country by those that came before us. It is time we expand upon our legacy and grow our nation so that we may leave a stronger and more influential country to our children.
	The city of Riga is the seat of its Bishopric and one of the most important trade ports in the Baltics. As we are the successor of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword it is our duty to protect the city as well as the bishopric from foreign threats.
	The Baltic trade is the main source of our income. We should protect it from the merchants of the Hansa or Denmark, or otherwise we will lose profit.
	Through our arid territories there pass many caravans, headed for the west and south, carrying exquisite goods and many pilgrims. There also lie many that try to raid such caravans, and from such comes a need to protect them.
	The Reformation is based on misinformation and sinful thoughts. Clearly, these reformers are lost by God himself. But worst of all, they and their venomous thoughts are a threat to the Catholic world. We need to establish ourselves as the protector of the Holy See so these heretics know what will await them if they attack any of our brothers and sisters in faith.
	Champa has suffered defeats at the hands of Dai Viet, and will not likely hold out much longer. We should subjugate the Cham kingdoms to spare them the fate of Vietnamese rule.
	Majapahit's traditional Hindu-Buddhist faith is weakening as merchants and conquerors of the Islamic faith become more prevalent in Nusantara. We must ensure that the people have a strong faith to follow.
	A necessary prerequisite to our ambitions of naval domination is a powerful merchant fleet. No longer bothered by civil strife, let us get naval matters sorted out.
	The Mon people once ruled a great empire, and are the originators of many aspects of our own culture. They have fallen far from their distant golden age, so we should offer them our protection.
	The Emerald Buddha must be held safely in our nation, for there are many who seek to steal it.
	The South Slavs of the Balkans are too weak to protect themselves. They are nothing but mere pawns to the blasphemous Holy Roman Emperor and the devilish Sultan of the Ottomans. We must push into the Balkans and protect them from the accursed threats.
	The Iranian culture is rich and various. While many members of this influential culture have their centers in the Persian mountain ranges, some live in the lands of Anatolia and Mashriq. As the Iranian Empire, it is our duty to protect those from the foreign threats in the West.
	All of West African trade shall be done under our supervision. We can't allow foreigners and rivals to find a way of exploiting the trade of our home region.
