	Krakow has been the capital of the Kingdom of Poland for centuries. Although it is already the most important city in our country and an important commercial center, more investments and improvements could be made in it, to take advantage of the Renaissance ideas that are spreading throughout the continent.
	Throughout the ages, our civilization has developed three distinct scripts - Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri, and Mkhedruli - each representing our rich heritage. Among them, Mkhedruli stands as the script of our land, distinct from its association with the sacredness of the church. It is this script that we shall proudly promote, enhance, and disseminate among our educated and esteemed elite. We strive for the widespread adoption of our language and writing across the entire region of Caucasia.
	Regional governors in the south cannot truly be trusted, and our spies report that they secretly conspire to overthrow our dynasty. We must revoke the privileges that we granted in the name of pragmatism so that we can rule southern China directly.
	Clan MacDonald, Lords of the Isles, have much influence among the Highland clans. Having already risen up in revolt several times in recent history, it is only a matter of time until they once again rally the Highlanders to resist Scottish rule. What's more, there are whispers of conspiracy with the English to divide our realm between the MacDonalds and the English King. Clearly the MacDonalds are too dangerous to remain as rulers of the isles.
	While the nobility of Norway and Sweden keep us busy already, the our nobles are in no way any better. They do not wish a unification of Scandinavia. Instead their interests are shortsighted and at the cost of our own resources. We should revoke their privileges and seize their land for ourselves.
	To rule over all of Germany and Italy would be to surpass the deeds of even our greatest ancestors and establish an almighty empire capable of dominating Europe - a new, truly Roman Empire.
	In a letter by Pope Stephen V, Svatopluk of Moravia was addressed as the King of Slavs; a title we aspire to retake. Retaking long-lost glory, however, should not be our only interest. We must look beyond the historical achievements of our ancestors, and forge a true Great Moravian Empire!
	The concept of a Westphalian nation unfortunately does not exist amongst the Rhenish people, although they would be a great asset to the realm. Perhaps by proving ourselves the dominant trade power in the Rhineland, we may create some sense of bond between the Rhenish and Westphalian people.
	There are only a handful of Rhenish people who believe in the concept of a Westphalian nation. By increasing the number of Rhenish people living in our own nation, we may begin to make the idea appear more attractive.
	The Rhineland is a highly contested region, at the forefront of conflicts between great powers as well as being home to many prosperous cities. We should conquer the region in preparation for our conquest of all Germany.
	The riches of Asia are plentiful: from the majestic silk and cloth of Persia, the coffee of Yemen, and the wool of the Turkoman tribes to the cotton and gems of India. As the connecting bridge in the center of Asia, we are in a prime position to master the trade of these invaluable goods, and become the middleman between Asia and the great powers of the world.
	Famous for the greatest Diamond market in the world Golconda fortress has become synonymous with riches in many languages. Both Golconda and the fabled mines at Kollur now lie open before us, according to popular belief untold wealth await us...
	Famous for the greatest Diamond market in the world Golconda fortress has become synonymous with riches in many languages. Both Golconda and the fabled mines at Kollur now lie open before us, according to popular belief untold wealth awaits us...
	India is a region of unrealized potential. We shall be the first ones to truly put its riches to clever use. We will make India the greatest economy in all of the Earth.
	Of course people get rather upset when they lose their sovereignty to a foreign nation. This is how war and conquest work after all and usually the conquered people will adapt to their new overlords over time. However, in some cases the transition must be made more comfortable. Kaffa is one of these cases. Their gold is invaluable to our country, but as long the local population is upset we cannot mine the gold there. We should develop a better infrastructure in Kaffa and Damot to show our benevolent side.
	Just like Charlemagne before us, the right to the Imperial throne of the HRE is ours. Securing it would only serve to restore us in our rightful place.
	The legacy of Rome is a common one. Each powerful European Monarch takes their chance to present themselves as the rightful heirs to Caesar, Octavian, and the like. All the Holy Roman Emperors and rulers of Rûm seem to forget that the greatest empire originates not from Vienna or Constantinople but from Roma.
	The our rulers of our nation stand accused of submission to the Mongol Yasa and other traditions. We must show our Persian citizens we are utmost committed to reforming our country.
	Islam has had various golden ages since the death of the prophet Muhammad, yet the four Rashidun (Rightly Guided) Caliphs that succeeded the prophet are the ones known in all Islamic circles both near and far. Long has it been since an Islamic state came even close to the level of piety and prestige that the Rashidun Caliphs commanded before the Islamic world splintered in the generations afterwards. With all that we have done so far, might we be able to proclaim ourselves as 'rightly guided' amidst all other Muslims?
	Riri is anger, it is fight and rage; Riri is violence, it is aggression or ferocity. Riri is how we show our power and claim our place as rulers over the other Iwis or tribes.
	Times are changing and it is becoming increasingly apparent that the wars of the future will not be decided by the charge of the cavalry but by the roar of the cannon. We shall be at the vanguard of this technology.
	Greatness from humble beginnings is a phrase that perfectly encapsules our rise to power. From the mountains of our nation, to the prestigious conquests of our nation and our nation we have turned a humble Sheikhdom into a most formidable foe for all those who seek to usurp our title. Truly, this is the beginning of the our dynasty era!
	During the 14th century, we found a city in Lake Texcoco. It was the God Huitzilopochtli that directed us to find Tenochtitlan there. With our power increasing evermore, it is time we now rise outside of it, and establish ourselves as the sole rulers of Mexico.
	In the Aztec society, the title of Eagle Knight is considered one of the most prestigious ranks for a commoner to reach. By reinforcing that part of our warrior society, we'll be able to better maintain our military traditions.
	The English to our West are one of the greatest naval powers in Europe. Unfortunately, their interests and our own are in direct conflict as our both nations intend to dominate the North Sea trade.
	The Purepecha Empire is a rising power that is posing a threat to our western expedition. They have built a series of fortifications along our border, making a campaign against them more dangerous. But we will not falter. Let us raise the banners and march to conquer them.
	The the burghers are in desperate need of our help. The lack of roads within our land has proven quite inefficient in terms of transportation. To help them, we must construct new roads for any merchant wishing to travel big distances of land.
	The Holy Roman Empire is a disgrace to the true Romans. To call their system of government ineffective would be a compliment.\nOnce again, it is up to us to dismantle yet another pretender to the true Roman throne. The Holy Roman Empire - a Roman Empire just in name - shall fall today!
	The proximity between Naples and Rome necessitates a clear relationship with the Holy Father. We must either seek to befriend the Papal State or else walk the dangerous path of defying it.
	The Roman Church has exerted its influence over the Empire since its inception, and the tension between Pope and Emperor has never truly been resolved. We must force a settlement of this matter even if we have to march our armies into Rome itself.
	The Roman Church has exerted its influence over the Empire since its inception, and the tension between Pope and Emperor has never truly been resolved. We must force a settlement of this matter even if we have to march our armies into Rome itself.
	A dynastic feud broke out in Moldavia after the death of Voivode Alexander 'the Good' in 1432. This is a strategic polity as we consider it our mark on the Ottoman border. Now is the time to restore order in this Voivodeship, which is so strategic for us.
	Although not always directly controlled by the Empire, Rome finally severed all Byzantine ties when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor. Now, however, the city is back in our hands, and although it has suffered much it is finally ready to again receive the blessings of our patriarch.
	The throne of the Emirate of Granada has been under constant attack from those who would see themselves Emir. We must present a united front to the encroaching Christian threat, by dealing once and for all, with the bitter feuds within our state.
	The authority of the our ruler is beyond reproach. We must centralize the state and enact absolute rule so that all may bask in their radiance.
	The Kingdom of Hungary is threatened by dangerous enemies on all sides. We must step in and protect the Hungarian people directly, unifying their lands under one ruler.
	The Kingdom of Hungary is threatened by dangerous enemies on all sides. We must step in and protect the Hungarian people directly, unifying their lands under one ruler.
	We should establish an elite corps of soldiers to guard the monarch and act as the military arm of the Maison du Roi. With its membership reserved for the upper classes, these regiments will encourage the aristocracy to seek careers in the military.
	The Duchy of Prussia has fallen from the grace of God. What was once a proud order of the Catholic faith is now a mere pawn of its incompetent leadership and the bordering monarchs. It would be wise to intervene and save their people from tyrannical rule.
	It is said that Rügen was once the base of operation of the Likedeeler, German pirates who sailed the Baltic Sea.\nMeanwhile, Gotland is home to the ex-king and feared Baltic pirate Eric VII.\n\nAs we are self respecting pirates of the Baltic Sea it is not only our right but also our duty to secure both of these legendary ports.
	Once the armies of Genghis Khan lay waste to Ruthenia. Kiev was sacked and burned, a great power reduced to ash overnight. It is time for the Tatars to return to the fertile lands of the Dnieper.
	All the British Isles shall be our domain. We will rule Britannia.
	All the British Isles shall be our domain. We will rule Britannia.
	The navy is our strength; the sea is our home. It is our destiny to rule the world from our isles and dominate it with our naval superiority!
	We must eliminate the last vestiges of resistance to our rule in Italy. Even the Pope must accept our rule.
	We must eliminate the last vestiges of resistance to our rule in Italy. Even the Pope must accept our rule.
	All of Java must be incorporated into the Sunda Kingdom.
	Muang Phuan has evaded direct rule from Lan Xang for too long. They must be integrated into our nation.
	Muang Phuan is a petty kingdom that courts favor with both Dai Viet and Lan Xang. This state of affairs is unsatisfactory; they must choose us.
	By engaging diplomatically with our neighbors and engaging in friendly relations, our subjects will see that our government is something other nations take seriously, and their respect for our rule and our laws will grow.
