	A terrible foe is slowly expanding its influence into Europe. Our southern borders, lacking any significant terrain obstacles give us next to no advantage when it comes to defense. The further fortification of our military frontiers should be of the utmost priority.
	The 'vroedschap', the humble city council, is the foundation upon which our great system of government rests. To curry favor with it is to curry favor with the nation itself.
	For years, the Timurid pretenders have clung to their control over the northern parts of Iran, but now the time is ripe for our armies to march. Let's strike the heart of Iran, claim the region of Iraq-e-Ajam, and let our banners wave high over the ancient land. Our ambitions do not end here, this is merely a stepping stone towards greater triumphs.

Our ambitions do not end here, this is merely a stepping stone towards greater triumphs.
	Our rivals must be aware of our bravery and might. Thus, we have to show we are the strongest people around, humiliating them in the battleground.
	To truly dominate the trade of the Baltic Sea we must ensure that our internal factions are pleased and that competent advisors hold positions which allow them to maximize our profits.
	Our our ruler represents our state and our religion. they is the epicenter of our society and as such only deserves only the best around their.
	The Danish and Swedish marauders to the north of our nation have repeatedly attempted to invade and conquer our lands. Now that we have expanded our coastal area, it is time we consider building a sizeable navy to compete with their naval power and contest the Baltic Sea. And soon we shall claim their land as ours.
	The city of Ayutthaya - or Ayuddhya - is perhaps the greatest of the cities of South East Asia but it is not the extent of our ambition in the region. Let us expand our influence over the entire Thai and Khmer Kingdoms, and add this land of a thousand elephants to the Mughal Empire.

	The Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg have lofty ambitions to dominate northern Germany. We must see to it that these ambitions come to naught by dominating them first.
	Genoa's golden age has passed - now, finally, it is time for us to gain the upper hand over our old enemy. Our strength would be greatly increased if we could absorb their city into our growing our nation.
	The Rajputs of Malwa have been a constant thorn in our side for generations. They must be crushed utterly so that we can safely expand southward.
	The Bishop of Münster has a large ecclesiastic territory. Although he has in the past taken a fiercely independent course to us, if we could join his lands to ours, we would be a force to reckon with in northern Germany.
	Iran exerts much influence on their neighbors with its culture. It is most regrettable then that this land is torn by religious conflict. Let us subdue Persia once more and put an end to all the conflicts within.
	Rajputana is not a rich land, and the many petty princes there would never pose a danger on their own. But Rajput dynasties once ruled Northern India and their kinsmen are still very commonplace as minor rulers throughout the region.\nIn order to build a lasting empire we must make the Rajput Kings and Princes learn that they must either bow to the our ruler, or face the full might of the Mughal Army.

	Afghan nobility have ruled much of northern India for centuries. Their power has grown too great, and they must be brought to heel. The best way to display our dominance over them would be to capture Kabul itself.
	Although the Pontic Steppe is free from the Tatar yoke, there are still some nomads in the Urals that pose a threat to us. Through subjugating them, we will remind any rider who wishes to plunder our land to think about their decision again.
	Southern Arabia is home to the Mahri people, a culture distinct from other Arabian tribes. They are also renowned seafarers like us, but that only makes them our competitors. Let us march into their land and make them submit to our rule.

	The work of scribes is honorable work, but modern times call for modern measures. We should adopt the new printing press, so that we may more easily produce encyclicals, tracts, and all the other necessary documents the Church requires.
	Unlike the tribal Somali clans, the state of Ajuuraan has actually a centralized government in form of a theocracy. However, despite being pious Muslims in name, they do not care for our fight against the Christian threat, and instead focus on commerce and expansion beyond the sea. Their rulership is worthless, but the fertile land they hold in the south might be of good use for us.
	If we don't want our interests in the Maghreb challenged further, we must try to secure stronger relationships there. It's time for Algiers, heavily pressured by Christians, to fall into our sphere of influence.
	The Sultans of Arakan occupy a precarious position between us and the powerful Bengal Sultanate. This situation is unlikely to last long, so we should conquer them before Bengal gets the chance.
	The Kings of Ayutthaya would have us become no more than a vassal state under their rule. Little do they know that their fate is to become subject to us.
	The defeat we suffered at the hands of Ayutthaya must never be repeated. We must subjugate their kingdom.
	Our southern neighbors have their eyes on our lands. Conflict is inevitable. We must subject them to us if we are to avoid being subjugated by them.
	The Margraviate of Brandenburg is one of the more militarily competent states in North Germany. Their armies were steeled from their wars with the Slavic tribes in the early days of the Holy Roman Empire.\nHowever, what makes Brandenburg much more intriguing is their role within the Empire. As one of the few electors, the ruler of Brandenburg is allowed to vote for the next Emperor. If we want to gain this role ourselves we have to subjugate Margraviate first.
	The Duchy of Brittany is not recognizing their proper relationship with the French Crown. We should persuade them to return to the fold.

	The Khmer Empire has had its day. Once mighty, it has fallen into decay and despair. Its people would be better off under our rule.
	The lords of Chiang Mai believe they are safe in the isolated north. We will show them that they cannot easily evade our rule.
	Dai Viet has grand ambitions to extend its southern borders. It cannot be allowed to encroach upon our territory.
	The lords of Dai Viet fancy themselves Emperors in Chinese style, and even emulate the Confucian bureaucracy. For all their pretense they are nothing more than pretenders, and must be made to submit to the true Emperor.
	The Mamluks are weak; their rule of Egypt is flimsy at best and their forces are in no position to defend their sultanate. It's time for the Mamluk state to cease its existence as an independent unit and Egypt be subjugated under our own rule.
	The region of Egypt has changed its owner many times. From the ancient kingdoms to being a mere province of the Roman Empire to their current form as a sultanate bound to be conquered once again. As Egypt used to be part of so many different Persian empires, it is our right to reclaim this land for us.
	The almighty Iran was devastated by the Mongol and Timurid hordes. We must return this glorious land, one of the cradles of Islam, into the hands of people who will rule it justly, and restore the land's splendor and prosperity.
	Lay claim to the Duchy of France. Their nobles shall bow their heads, or they shall lose them.
	Many heathen tribes and states threaten our people and our allies, if they were to join forces they could pose a serious threat. We shall weaken them before it happens by bringing them under our righteous fist.
	Jolof used to be our vassal during their early days, but due to our own internal struggles they managed to declare independence. They had their hundred years of sovereignty, but now it is time for them to return under our care.
	The City of Kazan sits on the key trade routes along the Volga River. For Russia to prosper it must belong to Mother Russia.

	We have shown that the Khmer are not capable of putting up a fight. We should take this opportunity and subjugate them.
	Möngke Khan forced the Koreans to submit to Mongol rule. They have since ceased to bow to us, and must be reminded of their true masters.
	The Land of a Million Rice Fields is ripe for harvest. We should bring them under our rule.
	The Land of a Million Rice Fields is ripe for conquest, its rich bounty soon to be enjoyed by hungry our mouths.
	The lords of Chiang Mai believe they are safe in the isolated north. We will show them that they cannot easily evade our rule.
	We tolerated Lao independence amidst the decline of our empire, but now that we are resurgent this cannot stand.
