	Although our merchants influence ends at the ports of India, the lands of South East Asia have always been influenced by Islamic traders. Should we sail there and seize their trade routes, we can extend our reach even further into Asia.
	our religion
	Other tribes might be our allies, but we will show our power and let them know who makes the rules.
	The religious dissentions that plague other states must not be allowed to establish themselves in Bavaria. We must see to it that piety and faithfulness remain cornerstones of our nation.
	Bukuri Mountain, also called Paektu by the Koreans, is the sacred origin site of our people. According to legend a heavenly maiden residing at the mountain lake was impregnated by a fruit dropped by a magpie. Her son become the first Jurchen chief. We must honor our ancestors by building shrines near the Mountain.
	Foreign powers from the west are beginning to encroach upon our nation. We must ascertain their intentions, and either drive them out or find a way for their presence to benefit us.
	Our involvement in Manchuria and among the Thousand Islands requires a new defensive frontier. The taigas of Siberia may not be the most alluring of lands, but they will provide a good first line of defense against anyone from the west who wishes to attack our more prosperous territories.
	Whilst the Great Wall has fallen, the Chinese still resist us. Let us prepare to storm Beijing by taking their Northern territories for the horde.
	The merchants of Genoa have frequently maintained good relations with our royal family. Their ports harbor great wealth, however, and therefore we could consider usurping it to fund our goals and agenda.
	The Silk Road was the lifeline of the medieval commerce as goods from Asia and Europe were exchanged through this trade route. The rise of our power put an end to its commercial importance though as the Christian infidels were blocked from trading with the east due to our embargoes.\nIf we want to profit from the trade with Asia once again we must ensure that the wares of Asia arrive in Europe through us.
	Whilst the printing press existed in China in the 9th century, it is complex and only a few bureaucrats can use it efficiently. If we simplify this technology of ours, we may be able to bring China to a new era of printing.
	A great variety of cults, traditions and beliefs are disseminated across all the Sahel, Niger and Guinea regions. It's in our best interest to have a melting pot of all of these, to support our growing power in these regions through a better understanding among the people under our rule.
	By tightening our grip over the upper Indus region we have acquired a good base for expansion further south. Let us follow the Indus to its mouth and add the lands of Sindh to our domain.

	An Empire the size of ours is, at times, hard to administrate and properly tax. Thus, a lot of our potential for profits may sometimes go unrealized. To amend that, we must create a new all-encompassing tax, paid entirely with silver in an effort to centralize our taxation policies.

	The Danish Crown has an impressive fleet, so much is clear. If we ever want to raid the coasts of the Baltic Sea at peace then we must make sure that Denmark cannot be a naval threat to us!
	Ever since the first use of the Silk Road, the Persian and the Chinese Empires have been in a constant state of contact and exchange with each other. As our side of the Silk Road is now back in our control, the time has come to restore this contact, and to establish a beneficial relationship with the Celestial Empire.
	Skanderbeg has taken up the cause of resisting the Ottoman invasion of Albania. His heroic efforts have so far kept us safe from Turkish incursions, but he will need more men if he is to continue the insurrection.
	There is a city standing in the highest point of this land, its stairs unending, its corridors twisted and infinite. Some men have been lost in these steps, their bodies still waiting in the most concealed paths. We must own that city.
	Our first push into Finland has been a great success. However, the Lion of the North is still posing on its throne. We must continue our march into Scandinavia and end the threat the three kingdoms present.

	The Turkomans have long posed a persistent threat to the safety and sovereignty of our kingdom. The looming specter of their victory and subsequent subjugation of our land has left us with no choice but to act swiftly and decisively. The time has come to take preventive measures, launching a proactive offensive and neutralizing the imminent danger they pose. The white sheep shall be slain!
	The nobility have taken to wearing fine cloth sashes to gird their robes, and there are none finer than those produced in Sluck. We must ensure that the province is able to produce enough of these sashes to meet the growing demands of the nobility.

	While showing strength to other nations is important, we cannot achieve it without our people being part of this project We need them to think as when they were younger, full of energy to devour the world.
	The turmoil that has enveloped our homeland threatens to swallow us all in our path. If we are to survive, we must expand and secure solid borders.
	While the original forces of the Caliphate did stop at the Suleiman's Range, the word of Allah has reached far beyond, spreading much over Nusantara, India and through the Silk Road. Many in those regions, however, tend to connect Islam with local beliefs, spreading false idolatry. We need to penetrate into those societies.
	Obsidian is the primary material that the nobles use when creating their weapons. However, it is also a scarce resource, which means that only the wealthiest in the our nation Society can afford them. If we can create a monopoly on this resource, we may be able to more efficiently equip our armies for war.
	Ever since the entry of western traders in the Indian Ocean a great deal of silver have begun flowing into the subcontinent. While this is good it is troublesome how little control we have over where this capital flows. We must establish our own western bases so that we can open our own direct line of trade with the west, and so that we can more efficiently keep an eye on their activity in our waters.
	Southern Germany is the home to many great German families. By developing their lands, we may gain favors with them.
	It is time to carve out a great Empire in India. Though we shall surely face adversity along the way, our elephants shall trample our enemies underfoot!
	Trade is the lifeblood of our nation. We should aim to control all trade that passes through south India.
	It is time we move our positions forward and lay claim to the lands that were once the heartland of the Vijayanagara Empire.
	We must secure our independence by force. We will recognize no overlord and accept no occupation of our core territories.
	Our control of the Mediterranean can never be complete as long as we have interlopers like the Spanish around. We must assert our power along the eastern Iberian coast, and stop the Spanish from infringing on our sea.

	We must be ready to combat the rise of heresy in Europe, and to do so we will need a fleet to rival even that of England. Our Great and Most Fortunate Navy must be able to withstand any foe and any storm.

	Princes cannot reign with force alone. Sometimes a subtler approach is needed, one where those weaker than us view us as protectors rather than conquerors. Of course, they will not realize that even without the sword, we are drawing them closer to ourselves and closer to their own submission.
	Our position as the Custodians of the Holy Cities and brave protects of the pilgrims has earned us a positive reputation in the Dar al-Islam. Let us continue the development of the holy sites and guarantee peace in our corner of the world.
	A ruler's court is more than a symbol of sovereignty; it is a crucible of wisdom and decision-making that shapes the destiny of an empire. We must strive to build a court filled with the wisest men in the realm. Their sage advice, scholarly wisdom, and diplomatic acumen will guide our governance and ensure our decisions reflect the needs and aspirations of our people.

	We must refurbish our capital and our palaces into glorious embodiments of the splendor of our our nation.
	The sinews of war are infinite money. This money should be extracted from neighboring states.
	We have recruited a large number of pirates into our employ. It is time to unleash them, letting them wreak havoc upon the shores.
