	Goal	Key
	Jizya tax is oppressive and unfair for the Hindu population. Let us lighten the tax or outright remove it to earn the favor of the native population. We can cover the economic impact in other ways.
	This mission will be unlocked by the event 'The Haijin Policy of the Great Ming' and will determine the dynamic mission we will receive.
	Our markets have stayed closed to foreigners for far too long! It is time we strive towards a policy of modernization and open trade!
	Men with a very bright skin color showed up at our coasts and started spreading ideas of a man hung on a cross. At first they seemed like friendly storytellers, but then they brought the mindset of burning down our old traditions - and the people who follow them listened! We cannot allow these missionaries to continue like that!
	Mali took the place of the Ghana Empire as the hegemon of West Africa. Now it is our time. Mali must fall, either as our subject or as a corpse.
	The specter of devastation from the Mongol and Timurid invasions still hangs over our land. Once bustling cities now stand empty, fertile fields lie fallow, and the spirit of the Persian heartland cries out for rebirth. It is our mission to breathe life back into our cities, fill our fields with industrious farmers, and ensure the laughter of children echoes once again through our streets. We will not only rebuild, but we will renew, creating a future where the legacy of these invasions is a distant memory.

	There are those within our state who would prefer a republican government to the autocratic rule of the dukes. We must settle these dissentions in our ranks - shall Milan be a Republic or a Duchy?
	As our state expands and finds itself in a stronger position, the presence of the Latin Republics in our vicinity turns to be more of an impediment than support. It is time to end our lip service to the merchants. The Aegean islands belong to us and our the burghers.
	The oath of allegiance, or Bay'ah, is especially important in our inner communities, shaped by the rough arid environment. The loyalty of individual sheikhs is instrumental to the preservation of the independence and the rule of the our dynasty.
	Throughout centuries, Armenians have been scattered across the globe, forming a rich and vibrant diaspora. Yet, the call of the homeland resonates in every Armenian heart, no matter how distant. It is time for our diaspora to unite and resettle our ancestral lands. Reclaiming and resettling these regions is more than a geopolitical strategy; it is a journey towards cultural renaissance, a beacon of hope for all Armenians, a testament to our unity and resilience.
	The Princes of Germany would subjugate our people and force them into serfdom given the slightest opportunity. We must strike first, advancing into Lower Saxony and putting an end to aristocratic rule.
	The Ava kingdom now hold hegemony over the Burmans, and its power threatens to spill over into our territory. We should resist their efforts and gain hegemony over the southern Bamar cities.
	The Reformation - the work of the devil himself! Once faithful Catholics are turning their back on the Holy See and embracing sacrilegious practices. We cannot allow us to fall to this sinful behavior!
	Having united all the different Hausa cities, it is inevitable that some internal strife should arise. We must work on resolving these issues so that we can truly become just one nation.
	Although it appears to be a trivial problem, our church is divided over the issue of Biblical Sabbath observance - and this for almost a whole century. While the loyalists of the Church of Alexandria believe that the day of rest should be observed on Sunday while the followers of Ewostatewos that both weekend days should be observed. If we want to maintain a religious unity we need to find a compromise for both groups.
	The time has come to conquer Persia, as our great ancestor did long ago. But who shall rule it when the battle is won?
	The Rus defied us when we first demanded their obedience. Let us hope that they learned their lesson after the devastation we inflicted upon their lands, or else we will be forced to repeat the violence of the past.

	No port is as important for the ancient Aksumite Empire than the port city Adulis. It has been the key point of ancient trade of the Red Sea and was very close to ancient Greece as well as the Byzantine Empire. Thanks to its location, it allowed Aksum to become the major power of the Red Sea.\nUnfortunately, the city got captured by the Muslims around the year 702, which led to the isolation and the eventual inevitable doom of the Aksumite Empire. But not all is lost though! The infrastructure of the city is still intact. If we get this port back we can rebuild Adulis to a greater city than it ever was.
	For nearly eight centuries, southern Iberia was known to the Islamic world as al-Andalus, and was a shining beacon of prosperity throughout the Mediterranean. It may seem a lofty goal, but the restoration of this blessed state would ensure that our names go down in history for all time. Bring those in our lands to the true faith, and proclaim our majesty once more!
	Alexandria is one of the most important centers of commerce in the Eastern Mediterranean. We need to uphold the status of the city as a center of trade, and try to raise the city's importance so that it attracts foreign merchants, artisans, and traders.
	The once great city of Angkor lies in ruins after its brutal sacking by the Siamese armies. It must be restored.
	Majapahit has allowed the great temple of Borobudur to fall into ruin. We must restore it.
	The fall of importance of Dromon, supremacy of the Latin Galea, and our dependence on the Latin Republics for naval support has led to our fleet being essentially nought. With our shackles thrown, let us once again arm ourselves on the seas.
	Beyond the administrative costs of the state, we must tend after the money needed to supply necessities to the faithful. We cannot let the organs of the Church wither away for lack of funds.
	The Confucian examination system has decayed in recent decades. We must reaffirm our commitment to an educated and effective bureaucracy.
	The bloody struggle for the throne of Granada is finally over. We must institute a campaign of resolution and improvement across our land, to show all our people that the only true threats to our realm come from our foreign foes.
	For nearly a thousand years, the territory of the ancient Empire of Goguryeo has been squabbled over and ransacked. We should bring it under our banner.
	It is time for Tibet to once again take its place among the greatest empires of the world. From the highest peaks of our mountains, we shall rule all that we survey!
	Before the Thai migrations, the Mon Kingdom of Hariphunchai ruled the north. We should restore this realm under our guidance.
	Kiev was once a proud city, capital of all the Rus. It has since fallen into decay, and should be restored.
	The Mongol sack of Kiev marked the end of Kievan Rus, the first golden age of our people. We must reclaim Kiev, restore it to its former glory and usher in a new golden age.
	The City of Königsberg was founded in honor of our king Otakar II. Under the rule of the Teutons, however, the city became but a shade of its former glory and importance. It's high time Královec returned to its rightful place under the Bohemian crown, reviving its past splendor.
	The Central Maya Lowlands are dotted with many mostly abandoned cities reminiscing the golden days of empires that ruled here. Despite that, we still visit local temples to conduct sacrifices to deities. Those ruins shall be restored.
	Many have speculated that the mighty Mali Empire will never return; that we will fade away in time.\nBut none of that is true! We managed to expand our borders beyond anyone's expectations and dealt with the internal threats. Shall everyone know that the authority of Mali is fully restored!
	There is a palace hanging from a cliff, its windows wide open, looking at the sky. It was built by our greatest ancestors and their legacy shall not go fall into oblivion.
	Faith in the monarchy is waning as the succession is constantly challenged. We must restore order to the realm and assure the people that the danger is over.
	In former decades of conflict and scarcity, it has been difficult for rulers to properly maintain the great pagodas that dot the Burmese landscape. As we restore these structures we also restore the faith of the Sangha in our rule.
	The city of Qurtuba underwent huge decline due both to the decadence of its elite, and the oppression of foreign tyrants. Return it to a state befitting our restored nation.
	The Steppe has become an unruly place since the collapse of the Mongol Khanate. We must bring its people under our rule and restore order.
	Under the Yuan dynasty the Mongols ruled all of China. We must strive for that same goal.
	Multan foolishly defies our rule. They must be defeated!
	The rulers of Mysore are nominally our subjects, yet they have broken away from our rule almost entirely. We must remind them who rules the Deccan.
	The lands of Ruthenia, on both sides of the mighty Dniepr, are fertile and promising. However, it has become depopulated through centuries of war and raiding, leaving Ruthenia but a shadow of what it could be under sound administration. We must invest our efforts into taming that land once more.
	Gradual degradation of the order created by the Mongol Empire has led to the downfall of the Silk Road. Let us plug in all the gaps that have resulted in the decline of this trade route.
	The Srivijaya empire of our ancestors used to spread all over Nusantara, its capital in Sumatra. We shall conquer the lands that once belonged to us and establish a new and equally prosperous thalassocracy.
	The Sukhothai is much diminished, reduced to a mere vassal of the greater Ayutthaya state. We must reclaim our past glory by asserting rule from Sukhothai.
	There are countless ancient temples in India that have fallen into ruin and neglect. If we wish to restore our people's faith in the gods, and perhaps the god's faith in us, we must restore as many of these temples as we are able.
	The Avesta is the sacred collection of our religion's holy texts. It depicts our cosmology of Ahura Mazda and his seven Amesha Spenta; it contains the rituals and ethics of our belief, the concepts of free will, and the fight between the Ahura Mazda and his nemesis, the evil spirit Angra Mainyu.\nThe religious enemies were thorough as most Avestas have been destroyed. We must recreate it so that the legacy of Zoroaster can carry on.
