	It is time to drop the identity of Gotland as we are now the King of the Kalmar Union once again!
	The Faithful are lining up to fight the heretics, and our exhortations would ring hollow if we did not join their ranks. We must join the Catholic League!
	Georgia, our northern neighbor and long-time ally, is teetering on the brink of civil war. Factions vie for power, threatening the unity and stability of this once-prosperous nation. We must not stand idle while our brethren in faith are descending into chaos.
	Our country is one of chiefs and religious leaders; and to our despair they always fight among themselves to have more power than the other. We should reach an agreement with both factions so that they work together for the good of our nation.
	The, the and the are all part of the powerful aristocracy of our nation. Naturally, each estate seeks to undermine the authority of the our ruler in order to expand their own power.\nTheir game can be played against them, however. The were created so that the have an active opposition. It is time to utilize this purpose, and play the estates against each other.
	Our realm has an operating council, which advises the our ruler at their decisions. These so-called ministers have major power in the local areas of our our nation such as making judicial decisions. They are also important members of former tribes, which decided to join us instead of fighting. We should ensure their happiness within the royal court.
	Too often has dissent and division plagued our country. The nobility, clergy and burghers must act as one to achieve the aim of greater glory and prosperity for Austria.

	Three flames; deriving their energies directly from Ahura Mazda.\nThree flames; performing miracles on the spot, sacred to our fate.\nThree flames; all of equal value, all of equal balance.\n\nThe wish that neither sacred flame takes over the others, yet all three receive careful attention of our prayers.
	Society is divided into four parts, which need to be in perfect balance to create a truly harmonious society. This period of ours is sadly one of gekokujo, where even the lowest can overcome the highest in society. We must find a way to remedy this grievous ill and restore harmony.
	The Heavens shall bestow their favor upon us. After the failures experienced on behalf of the subpar administration of the Ming, we will bravely fill the power vacuum left by the previous dynasty and write our own names in the history books!
	Our power has expanded not only in our homeland of Poland, but also in the incorporated regions of Bohemia and Hungary. Balanced and harmonious governance of all our lands is required to sustain this growth and firmly establish the primacy of the Crown.
	Japanese society has traditionally been organized around the existence of four groups of people: warriors, farmers, artisans and merchants. Maintaining this structure in a well-balanced manner will bring great stability to our nation.
	The Baltic region is rich in important trade cities. As it is bordering the Baltic Sea, it is only natural that these lands should belong to us.
	We must seize the rich commercial ports of the Baltic and establish a military presence in the region.
	We must seize the rich commercial ports of the Baltic and establish a military presence in the region.
	Northern currents and vessels with cargo from the Eastern seas are rich in fish, goods, and supplies. We must maintain a strong presence all across the Baltic
	The sparsely populated region of Baluchistan is inhabited by several tribes not necessarily allied with our our ruler. Let us subdue them, lest they might soon become a thorn in our side.
	The Hansa is a major player in the Baltics. It controls the trade flow from North Germany, and has a hard grip on the trade of the Baltic Sea as a whole. Additionally, it was the cause of many wars between Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire and caused indirect damage to our country. It is time to remind these merchants where their place in the Baltics really is.
	The steppes north of the Caucasus are home to nomadic tribes, successors of Genghis Khan, who have become a scourge for the Orthodox world. It is time to put an end to their rule and permanently eliminate this threat.
	Although Saladin managed to banish the Crusaders from the mainland, they still occupy the islands of the Eastern Mediterranean. Let us purge the Levant of their presence once and for all.
	We will never be safe as long Europeans have any form of influence in any part of Southern Africa. We must banish this menace from our home region and drive them back to the cold north!
	Banjar's textile production is booming. We should encourage this industry by constructing a textile manufactory.
	The growth of local business has led to the growth of a respectable financial sector in Cambay. It is to no small extent in the hands of the Jain community and further cultivating close ties with prominent Jain families would undoubtedly strengthen state finances.
	It is time to take the fight to the shores of the Barbary Coast. We must seize control of a key port, drive out the pirates, and from there prepare for an even greater struggle.
	The rich island of Ceylon is not only a lucrative source of income itself, but also a key waypoint for ships sailing further east. If we do not seize it, our enemies surely will.
	South America is not accessible to our navies and settlers. By establishing ourselves in Guyana, we will be able to allow for future designs in Brazil, grand or not.
	The Compagnie des Marchands are asking for financial support to help establish bases in North America. They say the honor of France demands it.

	It has been over a millennium since the two Roman Empires were still united. Split in 395, there were hopes that the act would help stop the decline of the Empire and its political system. Instead, the western half would fall in 476 and eastern half would almost fall to the Ottomans in 15th century. Nobody back then would have believed that the heirs of the Eastern monarchs would rule an Empire whole again. The proclamation of the restored Roman Empire is deserving of a great Triumph in Rome itself.
	The Balkans were one of the more important regions of the old Byzantine Empire. Whilst it is a mountainous area, some of its wealth cannot be underestimated. Let us prepare a campaign to reclaim this lost Byzantine land.
	It is traditional for our people, specially our women, to weave baskets that are used a lot by our communities. We should make this a central part of our economy and consider trading them with other tribes in exchange for goods we have no access to.
	The Basque people have a long tradition of fishing. Now that we have reclaimed the coastline we can promote the fishing industry on a state level.
	The knights of our nation have resisted our influence for far too long. We must eradicate this menace once and for all as we make plans to expand our influence further north.
	Bavaria has an admittedly distant claim to various territories in the Netherlands. It seems only right, now that we have restored Bavarian power to much of our former glory, to revive these claims and reestablish our control over this prosperous region.
	The conquest of Ursalim is a necessary step towards the restoration of the Caliphate. Conquered by Rashidun forces back in 637, the city has had a tumultous history, being target of many heathen crusades. Today, the city is back in Muslim hands, but held by Mamluks, who frequently make deals with christian traders.
	We have managed to secure some allies, now we need to make them trust us. The more they trust us, the more benefits we will get from them, and the easier it will be for us to betray them later if need be.
	We need to show everyone we are here to lead.
	We have succeeded in our holy mission to restore Christianity's might. Standing as the shield of the true faith, it is time to prove our piety and God-given righteousness to the world - to make our realm a united paradise of Christendom!
	The time of small medieval kingdoms and regional powers is over. Instead, the world is on the move because of large and influential powers which have a global reach. We cannot allow us to stay behind our rivals which develop into such powers!
	Unlike many other empires in history, the Holy Roman Empire does not choose its successor based on inheritance, but by election. If we want to shape the internal politics of the Empire it is crucial that we become one of the 7 Imperial Electors.
	We are bigger and stronger than ever before, but it is still not enough! We must reach the pinnacle of power and claim our rightful right to rule over all of our enemies. We need to become a true glorious Empire.
	our nation will never be seen as anything more than a second-rate power until we can claim for ourselves the title of King.
	Champa finds itself in a precarious position on the mainland, having suffered a series of defeats to Dai Viet. We should become their protectors.
	Ancient legends speak of the Kingdom of Prester John, a Christian king who lived on the far side of heathen realms. Gradually, we learned more; Marco Polo himself spoke of the great Christian kingdom of Ethiopia, and our contacts with that African land have only increased since then. It is in the interests of posterity and in our strategic interests to reach out to the Ethiopian people and forge bonds of friendship and mutual protection.

	Besides the larger towns and aglomerations, the territories outside are dotted with many amirs and sheikhs, the loyalty of whom can certainly be questioned. Let us make sure to ally them through various means, ensuring their allegiance.
	Once our ally, the thalassocratic empire of Majapahit is still worthy of our trust. We must show the world that we never forget our allies... Nor our enemies.
	Although we are surrounded by potential enemies, it's clear that some of them are more cause for concern than others. Perhaps we could strategically get into the good side of those and become their friends before they decide to crush us. At least, until we decide to crush them.
	The Cossacks make loyal friends and dangerous enemies. We should ensure that the Cossacks living within our borders are content, loyal, and willing to do violence upon our enemies.
