	Goal	Key
	We must demonstrate to the rulers of Christendom that Provence is a cultured and pious nation. Patronizing the works of Italian artists and displaying them in our churches will surely have this effect.
	Philip the Good of Burgundy has left a court in the Low Countries filled with many great artists. We must continue his legacy and bring the Dutch court to even newer heights.
	We should establish a center of our religion learning to act as a base from which we can exert our influence and ensure that our neighbors view matters of religion in much the way that we do.
	The western Fathers convinced us of the error in our ways and brought us to the light of Jesus. It is now our turn to further bring His light to all corners of Asia.
	The manufacturing base is the strength of our nation. We must build upon it if we are to grow into an economic powerhouse that can dominate Germany.
	Sweden is not the only kingdom which was target of the Christianizing of Scandinavia. Our neigbors, Denmark and Norway, were, too, affected by the Church's quest of spreading their vile religion, and succumbed to the promised power by becoming Christians. As faithful Norse it is our duty to restore the rightful religion in Scandinavia.
	The time to be in the defensive is over! The Catholics tremble before our might, and we shall lead to the true path of the Christian faith - either by the cunning words, or by the mighty sword!
	These Catholic fools cling to their deceitful ways, demanding money from every sinner and giving them a "free pass to Heaven". We end this abuse of power within the Christian world, and spread the Reformation. The corrupt Papacy needs to lose its grip on our misled brothers and sisters!
	It is our divine duty to spread the our religion on this world. Let none walk on the path of darkness as long as we carry the light of our religion!
	The natural place of the Habsburg family is on the throne - as many of them as possible. We must acquire the thrones of Europe for our family.
	The Europeans brought diseases and unfair trade to us, but they also brought technology and advancement. But the most important good they brought was the light of the Lord. It is in the best interest for the people of Africa to receive this gift too and become part of the Catholic church.
	Stunningly few recognize Ali as Muhammad's successor and even fewer acknowledge how important Zayd was. Let us end that ignorance.
	Our people are some of the most loyal followers of the Ibadi sect. However, we have always been in conflict with the Sunnis and Shias, something that has made us struggle to spread our faith to foreign lands. Let us be done with anyone wishing to crush us, so that we may spread our ways to other nations.
	The East territories of our domain are inhabited by wild and bloodthirsty principalities, vying to control the throne of the Rus people. We must secure a frontline and develop adequate defenses lest we fall pray to their expansionist tendencies.
	Preserving the trade hegemony in the seas of Northern Europe is no easy task. The custodians of the City of Novgorod once bowed down before our tremendous influence. Perhaps we should remind them why they need to respect us.
	Our region's instability is a great opportunity for those that are brave enough to make use of it. We must do whatever it takes to increase state income and prepare ourselves for the troubling times to come.
	The Millenarist Musha'sha Order, ruled by the charismatic Muhammad ibn Falah, is currently in control over Khuzestan. They are not the first Millenarist Sect that has sprung up in this area and other radical sects have set a dangerous precedent. We need to get rid of this invasive force.
	There is no use attempting conquest unless our nation is stable and ready to deal with anything that may assail us.
	The recent conflict with Georgia has taken its toll on our empire. Our brave soldiers have been depleted, our subjects are restless, and the strains of war are evident within our borders. Now, it is our mission to stabilize the interior. We must recover our manpower, placate our subjects, and mend the fabric of our society that has been frayed by war. Only when our internal affairs are in order, when our empire is once again a solid, unshakeable monolith, can we turn our gaze outward towards further conquests.
	The recent civil war has left scars across our lands. If we are to leave the evils of our past behind, we must tend to the stabilization of our internal affairs.
	With our breakout from the Kalmar Union, our our nation is in a time of turmoil and instability. We should stabilize our realm, legitimize our ruler and pay off the estates before we can expand into any direction yet.
	Aided by our powerful supporters, we must labor towards a truly harmonious government. We must be free of corruption and discord.
	We must resist the Turks by every means we have available. To even survive this onslaught would be a feat of military and diplomatic genius.
	The 'Relazioni' are the reports our ambassadors send to the government, detailing the political, financial, and social state of the countries they serve in. These documents are essential for both our own diplomatic efforts and for maintaining the competitive advantage of our merchants abroad, but it is an increasingly common practice for copies of relazioni to be published and made available to anybody willing to pay a high price for them. This is a threat to our own diplomacy and security. We must crack down on these publications, and establish a common, secure system for the writing and dissemination of relazioni.

	The New World offers many opportunities for the ambitious. By establishing large-scale colonies there, we can greatly expand the old Baltic League in new, unforeseen directions.
	The examination system is robust, yet there are many who are never able to participate due to illiteracy. We should improve the standard of education in our country.
	The wheels of industry turn ever onwards, and Russia must not be left by the wayside as new production technology becomes available. The state must construct and control as many large manufactories as possible.

	Instead of ruling through religion, we should instead rule by common law. Our state is a melting pot of many different faiths, so instead of reining them in, we should shape these laws to fit all of their values.
	A few towns on the Tuscan coast, known as the State of the Presidi, owe allegiance to Naples and the our ruler. These territories should be the basis of our expansion further into Tuscany.
	The dispute between those who support the state, the 'Statists', and those who support the monarchy, the 'Orangists', has been plaguing our nation since its foundation. We must pick a side in this conflict if we are to end it once and for all.
	We have secured a powerful position as the foremost trading nation in the Bay of Bengal. What good is this, however, if we cannot steer trade toward us? We must use whatever means are at our disposal to drive trade from Burma and the Spice Islands to our own ports.
	The tribes of the great steppe are powerful and unpredictable. Yet some among them might be convinced to treat us as more than a target for raids and conquests. Many among them revere the Buddha; this may be good common ground to establish better relations with them.
	The lands of the Crimea are divided between several nations, but they rightfully belong to the heirs of Genghis Khan.
	With the head of an elephant and the wisdom of a god, Ganesh has been one of the most worshiped deities of this land. We should not disturb his rest.
	Ever since our foundation the our people had to fight off the raiders from our nation. Being defensive is however not the solution; the Tuareg will just continue raiding our villages.\nNo, to end this threat we need to go into the offense and eliminate the our threat.
	Stora Kopparberget is an old copper mine in our nation, which quantity of pure copper ore has secured the economy of Sweden since as early as the 9th century. Under King Magnus IV the company which was responsible for the mining process received further privileges in 1347, which increased the production of copper even further.\nWhile Stora Kopparberget is already responsible for a sizable percentage of our income, their potential has not been fully reached yet.
	There were many attempts to form a proper Scandinavian Empire. But none of them came even close to unifying the three Kingdoms of the North. The last attempt, the Kalmar Union, was the most pathetic of the attempts.\nIt is up to us to unite Scandinavia into one single entity and form a proper empire which can face the likes of the Holy Roman Empire or the Russian Tsardom.
	As the Hundred Years' War resumes, it is time we adjusted our approach. Rather than whittle away the French forces with skirmishes and pitched battles, we should strike at the heart of their nation.
	Savoy is a tempting prize for would-be conquerors. It is crucial that we befriend one of the great powers of Europe so that we have some recourse against foreign depredations.
	The numerous Nomadic Tribes within our realm have always gone out to pillage and conquer, all in the name of wealth. Let us help them in this endeavor.

	Our northern flank is repeatedly violated by the Shaybanids and the Khanate in Moghulistan. We need to hamper their advances.
	We once shared our land with Greater Poland until the latter lost control of the region in early 14th century. Now that we have become a stronger nation, we should seek to mend and strengthen our old ties with Poland before we crush the Teutonic knights in Prussia. However, if we decide rivalry is the way to go, we should show them our national might, diplomatically or militarily.
	Our state is a made of a German minority class ruling the masses of the natives. We must strengthen our authority and ensure that the Estonians and Latvians are satisfied with us in order to keep the state stable.
	We have long maintained good relations and a defensive pact with Scotland due to our mutual rivalry with England. We should expand on this relationship in preparation for an assault on the English mainland.
	The Bakuhan, the system that divides the land between that belonging to the Shogunate and that belonging to the local lords, has been in effect ever since we unified the country. We must use all its capabilities to our utmost benefit.
	The Basqaqs were enforcers in the Mongol Empire, responsible for maintaining order and collecting taxes. They operated as a decentralized system of administrators and military officials, ensuring compliance with Mongol rule across the vast territories.
	The authority of the crown has always been a subject of contention. While the ruler sees his reign as absolute and of divine nature, the tries to limit the our ruler's power.\nAs the idea of Absolutism grows in the courts of Europe so does it in ours. We must follow the trend and strengthen the our our nation.
