	We once were the major power and the cultural heart of West Africa. Through unfortunately bad successions, our empire was declining and could have vanished entirely.\nBut we managed to prevail, and even turned the tide of our fate. Now it is time to expand even beyond our old empire's border and reclaim our old title!
	The Khmer Empire once ruled a vast expanse of the mainland, ruling over many peoples under enlightened rulers. We must restore our empire.
	The fleets of Majapahit were once a glorious sight to behold, our mighty djong ships dominating the horizon. The fleet must be restored.
	The Knights of Saint John are a shadow of their former glory. If we can recapture the former crusader state of Antioch, it would make an excellent base from which to restore the Order.
	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 Black Death of 1349 was an event of heavy impact for our country. Half of Norway died to the plague, and our fate has ever since been in the hands of somebody else. Not only did our population suffer but so did our infrastructure too. If we want our country to return to former glory it is vital to restore the infrastructure.
	Leidang is the name of a special form of conscription which helps us organize a coastal fleet for offensive and defensive wars. The system works by conscripting the sailors from our peasantry and contracting them for a service for two or three summer months during peace time. During war, everyone of the free men have to serve in our fleet.\nHowever, during the years between the 13th and the 15th century the system has been replaced by the classic feudal system led by the nobility.\nWhile feudalism has its own appeal, it cannot compete with the Leidang conscription when it comes to recruiting competent sailors. We should restore the Leidang system so we have access to a competent sailors.
	Christianity was brought to Scandinavia by German missionaries. Although they were put under trials by ordeal (usually an ordeal by fire), they survived and managed to convince our ancestors of the Christian faith. Ever since, Scandinavia converted more and more to the Catholic faith, and temples of our old Gods were destroyed in the name of Christ.\nWe should repair the damage our misled ancestors did in the past, and restore the Norse faith!

	The Cheolli Jangseong, or 'Thousand Li Wall', is a network of fortresses across the northern part of the Korean Peninsula built by our forefathers to protect our people against Jurchen depredations. We must make sure it is kept in a good state of repair so as to assure the security of Korea.
	Zeila was one of the very first cities, which embraced the enlightenment of the Islam. Around 700 years ago, the first Muslims in the Horn constructed the mosque Masijd al-Qiblatayn, making it the oldest mosque to date. However, time has shown its impact on the mosque and it is not as usable as it once was. We should restore this great monument of our people!
	The Ava Kingdom pretends that it continues the legacy of Pagan through their loose hegemony over the Shan Saophas. We must cease our tribute to Ava and take up the mantle of Pagan ourselves.
	Centuries ago, the Pala Kings of Bengal swore their loyalty to the Tibetan Empire. The Pala kingdom is long gone, the dynasty lost of the ages. But perhaps an heir to the kingdom might be 'discovered', and placed upon his rightful throne in fealty to Tibet...
	The great Christian East-West Schism, brought about by the arrogance of Pope Leo IX in 1054, might finally be healed. As established by Emperor Justinian in 531, the Bishop of Rome is merely one of five Patriarchs of equal rank, together with the ones in Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria. If all five Patriarchates can be restored to Christianity under the auspices of the Eastern Church, there is hope of a new unity.
	Before the collapse of our Empire, the five Patriarchs in Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Rome and Constantinople used to live in relative peace and unity, convening on matters when necessary and serving our ecclesiastical community. Let's bring the golden age back.

	For centuries the merchants from far West brought forth and traded in various exotic goods. The silk we exported, the fabric upon which we built a legendary status for our empire, shall once again be freely exchanged between us and our allies, silk shall flow!
	The Heddal Stave Church in our nation is the largest stave church in all of Scandinavia. Constructed at the beginning of the 13th century, the church has seen decades of use. However, time was not very fond of the church, and eventually it got into a state where a restoration is needed.\n\nLet us renovate the church in the name of the Pope, and decorate the interiors with the finest gold the Catholic church can afford!

	Genghis Khan established a system of relay stations, supply networks, and intelligence gathering to be employed across the Mongol Empire to ease the burdens of governing an empire spanning thousands of miles across. We should restore the Yam so that our armies and envoys can travel efficiently through the realm.
	The isle of Gotland, formely known as Visby, housed an important complex of offices dedicated to the Hanseatic League. Reclaiming the land would positively impact our trade power in the Baltic.
	The great city of Zimbabwe was constructed 200 years ago, and as such plays a major role in our history. It houses the many great stone houses of our people, holds many stories of our past and was even described as the golden city in the holy books of foreigners who visited us.\nNow the once great city is nothing but abandoned ruins; a town where not even the spirits of our ancestors would want to remain. We cannot allow this important city to decay into ruin!

	The millets - the "personal law" of the confessional groups living in our empire - have never been standardized. Instead, they were free for the ruling pashas to interpret and to place.\nThe millets of our government need to be reformed as they are too autonomous.
	The ancient Andalusian citadel of Balansiyah fell to the Reconquista, nearly two centuries previously. The mistreatment of our brothers and sisters in faith, however, has not been forgotten. We must reclaim this great city, and the surrounding lands, and remind Europe that we are not as helpless as they once believed.
	Gascony is rightful French land, occupied by an illegitimate claimant to the crown. Every English foothold in France must be reclaimed.
	Our previous king, Eric VII Gryf, ruled over Denmark and over the entire Kalmar Union from 1412 until 1439. Due to the economical issues caused by Eric's war with the Hansa he eventually was deposed, and his nephew, "Arch-"King Chistopher III, took over the throne.\nAlthough Eric is no longer ruling the Kalmar Union, he still made himself a home on the island of Gotland, where he continues his existence as a pirate.\nWhile he used to be our king, Gotland still is Danish territory. It is time for him to abdicate entirely.
	Serbia controlled lands to the south, and even enjoyed access to the Aegean Sea. With our strength growing by the day, now is the time to strike and reclaim these lands that were once ours once again!
	Sofala had allowed us presence in the southern markets until it was taken from us. We should retake it so that we can again expand our trade southwards with ease.
	The Emirate of Sicily was wrested from the hands of the decadent and destructive Byzantine Empire in the 9th Century. It flourished under Muslim rule, remaining a cultural melting pot of diverse peoples, until it fell to Roger of Sicily in the late 11th Century. Many long for this wondrous island to be returned to our fast-growing empire - make it so.
	Although we had established a presence in the Maldives, we lost control over it after some traitorous members of our family broke away from us. It is time we retake what is ours.
	The great city of Timbuktu was once an essential part of our empire as it was the trading post, which connects West Africa with Europe. Due to our decline, the city fell out of our grasp and founded its own state. Now it is time to retake this invaluable city and reintegrate it into our our nation.
	We have pushed ourselves deep into old Gaul, but our achievements are still overshadowed by the conquests of the great Giulio Cesare. We must strike out and achieve something the ancient Romans never succeeded in doing; we must defeat the Germans at Teutoberg Forest!

	The furthest extent of the Great Khan's conquests was stopped in Hungary. Although its ruler was killed, and the countryside was devastated, we were overextended, which forced us back to Ruthenia. Now, we have returned, and we intend to stay.

	In the past, the Eastern Roman Empire would commit to minting gold coins for the subject. However, with loss of gold and silver mines, it would become increasingly difficult to strike such coins. The last gold coin to be struck was hyperperon, and even it would succumb to the usual fate of being debased to support military campaigns.
	Visby, the chief city of Gotland, was until recently the base for Hanseatic operations in the Eastern Baltic, acting as a key stopping point between Novgorod, Riga and Lübeck. However, with the rise of the Kalmar Union, we have been unable to prevent our influence in the city from slipping. We must challenge Danish and Swedish claims on the island if we are to reassert our Baltic dominance.
	Timur has laid waste to much of the Mongol and Tatar land in the past. Now, his empire is on the brink of falling apart. With that opportunity at our gates, let us destroy the Empire he created.

	In 1396 the Bohemian crown embarked on a righteous crusade against the Turks in Bulgaria, only to be defeated by the heathens. We must rally our forces once again, retake Bulgaria, and drive the Turks back across the sea!

	The noble King Wladyslaw III was cruelly slain in battle against the heathen Turks at Varna. His death brought great uncertainty to our nation and ended our dynastic union with Hungary. This grievous wrong must be avenged, and the Crusade of Varna must be renewed. The Turks must be driven out of Europe!
	Ever since the Teutonic Knights occupied the Prussian lands in 1225 at the request of Duke Conrad of Mazovia, the Teutonic Knights started expanding westward ever since then and took away our ancestral homes in the east. Not only did they seize land for themselves, they unleashed the horror of barbaric violence upon us. Now that we are a strong nation with allies, it is time to pay them back.
	The Roman Empire has been consistently declining for about a millennium now. With small periods of recovery from time to time, today we may be lying at the definitive end of our journey. With the Ottoman encroaching and lusting for the city of world's desire, the end is looming. While the Ottomans are still occupied, let us strike and bolster our hold in Greece - our most core territory.
