	The great ports of Gujarat are not only among the busiest trading centers in the world, but they are also the point of embarkation for India's thousands of Muslims on their way to the holy cities in Arabia. It is our duty to conquer Gujarat so that we can ensure the safety of our subjects as they undertake the most important journey they will ever make.
	Dutch ambitions of independence must be crushed. We must not only subjugate the Low Countries but also occupy them directly, placing them under our direct and firm governance.
	The Low Countries are home to the Dutch, a people well known for their maritime and mercantilistic achievements. Their trade in the English Channel occasionally caused a cut to our own profit in Lübeck, but usually we do not interact much with each other.\nHowever, now that we have started to expand our influence into Germany it is clear that the Dutch are within our scope too. Depending on our position with the Holy Roman Empire we should either ensure that they are part of said Empire, or part of our own realm.
	Dutch ambitions of independence must be crushed. We must not only subjugate the Low Countries but also occupy them directly, placing them under our direct and firm governance.
	The peoples of the Netherlands harbor ambitions of independence. We must snuff these out and make sure our control over our territories remains complete and uninterrupted.
	The ports and ancient dynasties that dot the Malabar Coast are an appealing target for expansion. We must bring them into the fold.
	The islands of the Western Mediterranean would be strategically valuable in our hands, and are a constant threat in the hands of our rivals. We must seize the islands and establish our rule there.
	It is imperative to connect the two halves of our maritime potential together, and receiving guarantees from the Scandinavians is one such end to the means.
	We must ensure that our army and our institutions are capable of securing our safety both at home and abroad in order to guarantee the continuation of our our nation, free from instability and foreign domination.
	As our reach grows, so too does our need for defense. While we look to the west for opportunities to grow, we must also take heed of the great expanse to our east, the Pacific Ocean. Who knows what threats may come from that direction? It would be prudent to assert our power among islands of the Pacific, lest some other country claim them and strike us from the east.
	The Sava River courses through Croatia and Slavonia before emptying into the Danube at Belgrade. It is one of the most important waterways in the Balkans, second only to the mighty Danube itself. To leave it outside our control is to leave a vital route for trade and armies in the hands of our enemies. We must secure it for ourselves!
	The riches of the Silk Road flow through trade routes that now largely fall within our borders. We must ensure that these routes remain prosperous.
	The French King and the Holy Roman Emperor alike have their eyes on our lands and will take any pretext to claim our title. We must secure the succession and make sure our children's children will have a our nation left to inherit.
	The strategic location and trade potential of the Vistula land are too significant to overlook. Securing it would boost our nation's influence, and would curb Polish influence and their capability to pose a threat to us.
	We must move to establish our primacy in the markets of the East. With control over the flow of exotic wares, those who do business with us in the West will be at our mercy.

	The Low Countries have always been supplied by grain imports, specifically those from the Baltic. If we manage to secure that grain supply for ourselves, we will no longer be required to pay for it.
	Central Asia can be called the crossroad between China and Eastern Europe and Persia. For that reason, many traders had established trade centers along these lands. Let us seize them and their wealth.
	In the year 1225 the duke of Mazovia, Konrad I of the Piast dynasty, requested our help in their fight against the pagan Old Prussians, who refused to convert. Of course, our honorable order made short work of these heathens, converted them to the true faith and defeated anybody who refused. Following this, our order established a state in West and East Prussia and we continued our crusade against the Romuva Lithuanians.\nHowever, our presence in Prussia has always been a thorn in the side for the Kingdom of Poland. And even the Lithuanians, which we spent so many decades converting, seek our destruction!\n\nAlthough the Holy Roman Empire is not particularly benevolent to our order, they are the only power which would be ready to defend us from the Polish threat.
	In these trying times, we must seek the support of the religious community. Their influence and guidance can help us navigate through the challenges we face.
	Brittany is infamous for the dreariness of its weather, which provides a steady diet of wind and rain that is well-appreciated by our farmers but few besides them. We should give our people the option of living in a warmer climate by establishing a Caribbean colony... even if the weather there, too, might sometimes leave much to be desired.
	The history of dynasties past, as well as the story of ours, has always been dictated by ebbs and flows. Periods of growth, decadence, destruction and rebirth are all part of life. However, that should not be interpreted as that we cannot do our very best when it comes to ensuring the growth and government of our dynasty.
	The fertile delta at the mouth of the Nile is an important trading hub in the Mediterranean. Possession of this area would give us great influence over the influx of goods from the East.
	The last vestiges of the Duchy of Burgundy have fallen on hard times. When they turned their backs on us following the Treaty of Arras, we did not forget. Their land will be forfeit.

	Ceylon is an island near India which is of great use in securing the trade in the Indian Ocean. Our rivals are aware of the profitable trade with India and the spice isles, and seek Ceylon's occupation of their own. We must not allow this to happen.
	The island of Ceylon is well situated to be a resupply port, and would give us a competitive advantage over the other colonial powers in this region.
	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.
	The Crimean Peninsula serves as the final sanctuary for Tatar invaders who pose a danger to our kingdom. It is crucial that we confront them and assert our authority over the peninsula, thereby reinforcing our dominion over the Black Sea and creating fresh avenues for trade with Rus'.
	Danzig is among the richest and most strategic ports in the Baltic. Naturally, the Teutonic Knights, the Polish Crown, the Hansa and the Scandinavian Monarchs wish to claim the city for themselves. Little do they know it is rightful property of Mother Russia.
	Since 1337, the English and the French have been in a constant struggle for dominance over the French throne. A hundred years of battles, devastation, death and destruction; this bloodshed can only end one way: through total victory over the French!
	The Indus river flows from countless tributaries and mountain springs, and into the Arabian Sea. Needless to say, wealth flows freely on the Indus. Make it ours.
	For centuries, traders have had the choice of sending their wares over land via our markets or sailing around Jutland, going through Denmark instead. We must end this dichotomy by making Jutland a possession of our central office. Then, all traders going between the Baltic and the West will pass via ports controlled by us and our accolades.
	The Milanese represent a powerful and aggressive force on our eastern border. However, their wealthy subject cities are fickle and could easily be brought to throw off their rule - and perhaps accept our own leadership.
	A crusader bastion far from the seeing eyes of the Pope and a final stand of the Catholic world as they decay after the failure of their crusades. our nation will fall to our mighty armies.
	The Norwegian ports on the coast of the North Sea bring in trade from the New World. Though Novgorod may not yet have colonial ambitions there, that is no reason we should not pursue a piece of the profits.
	We have long sought to make Sardinia our own. However, the Aragonese have proven to be a thorn in our side, wresting our base in Sassari from our grasp. It is time to reclaim Sassari and conquer the rest of the island for ourselves.
	The Bengal delta is a steamy, jungled area, fit for little but farming. Nonetheless, we have claimed it as our own, and our own it shall be.
	The Altiplano is a large flatland underneath the Titicaca Lake. The lack of inclines is perhaps this land's biggest advantage. Let us conquer it and build a power base.
	The coast around the Ganges Delta is one of Asia's greatest centers of trade. We must seize this land for ourselves!
	By pushing the Manchurian frontier back beyond the confines of the Korean Peninsula, we can increase the strength and security of the Korean nation considerably.
	While the Abbasid Caliphate as a realm was exterminated by the Mongol sack of Baghdad, members of the house of Abbas have continued to carry the title of Caliph, while living as "guests" of the Mamluks. With their defeat this puppet Caliph has lost the last of his prestige and influence. The time for a new and strong family to claim the position as Head of the Ummah has come!
	The Cape of Good Hope is a crucial waypoint on the route to the East Indies. Without a doubt, who controls the Cape also controls the Asian ambitions of the other great powers.\nThe Cape must be ours!
	The Chincha valley and its surroundings are the closest point to the Ocean from Cuzco, let us descend the mountains and enforce our will over the coastal peoples.
	We shall be the greatest empire the world has ever seen. Even mighty China shall know our rule. We must seize the Dragon Throne and proclaim a new imperial dynasty.
	Reasserting Muslim control over Sicily is a worthy goal, and the islands of the Western Mediterranean would make excellent privateering bases.
	our nation is a confederacy of provinces, managed by the Mani of our country. They collect the taxes of the rural areas and every year present their earnings to the our ruler. Should our our ruler be happy with them then the Mani are able to hold onto their power for another year.\nWhile this system worked out very well in the past, it is a very outdated form of government, and if our our nation is to survive we need to seize the power of the Mani and centralize the state.
	The former King of Sweden employed the mines of our nation for his own profit. Controlling the production of Europe's prime source of copper is a profitable venture. Let us liberate the province and its people from Swedish rule, they have nothing to lose but their chains!
	The wily merchants of Portugal have established a clear advantage in the waters around Iberia. Not all battles must be fought with sword and shield - make sure that their traders return with paltry offerings, and attain the mercantile dominance we deserve.
	The fort of our nation is perhaps our biggest obstacle to raiding the rest of Russia. Let us seize it by force.
