	Goal	Key
	The empire of our ancestors might have fallen, but its legacy lives on in us - and thanks to that, we have the strength to not only restore, which has been destroyed so long ago, but also to surpass it!
	The Holy Roman Empire has been into several conflicts with the Polish crown. Perhaps now it is time to surpass them and conquer their lands.
	We have already a navy worthy of the name, but we need to truly overpower the western nations in all naval matters. Otherwise, we could find ourselves that they come with big gunboats to the doors of Edo bay itself.
	Not long ago, we embarked on a series of legendary journeys across the shores of Asia, in a profound and awe-inspiring display of strength. Once again, we are asked to confirm our supremacy across our vast domain and keep prospecting conquerors at bay...
	It is embarrassingly common in the provinces for farmers to maintain so-called 'secret fields', farmland hidden from the eyes of tax collectors. A thorough accounting of these unreported properties should significantly help bolster the health of our economy and our coffers.
	It is embarrassingly common in the provinces for farmers to maintain so-called 'secret fields', farmland hidden from the eyes of tax collectors. A thorough accounting of these unreported properties should significantly help bolster the health of our economy and our coffers.
	Before its destruction by the Magyar hordes, the mighty city of Veligrad had been the seat of Moravian rulers, from which they governed a vast realm stretching from the hills of Lusatia to the plains of Pannonia. The restoration of the city should be our highest priority.
	The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, renowned as the Cathedral of the Living Pillar, holds immense reverence as one of the holiest sites in the Caucasus and stands as the focal point of the Georgian Apostolic Church. Regrettably, the passage of time has left its mark on this sacred edifice, closely intertwined with the decline of our nation. Now is the opportune moment to embark on a comprehensive reconstruction project, breathing new life into the cathedral so that it may radiate the renewed might, resilience, and prestige of Georgia.
	The Austrians in the south and the Bavarians in the east have penetrated into Swabian lands, impinging on our liberty. If we are to secure a place for ourselves among the foremost states of Germany, we will have to fight them to free our kin.
	The majority of Zanzibar may have fallen to us, but the rest of the Swahili people still resist us, both militarily, and financially. If we subdue them all, we can be the sole hegemon of the Zanzibar trade.
	By binding the independent-minded Colognian Electorate to our power - one way or another - we will have removed one more obstacle to our rise to power in Germany.
	The wealthy city-state of Geneva longs for self-rule, and finds the prospect of autonomy under the Swiss Confederacy an alluring alternative to subjugation. We shall grant their request.
	Emperorship is not a title easily achieved, especially by a non-member of the Holy Roman Empire. Greasing a few palms and whispering the right words will certainly assist us in our efforts, however.
	Support for a renewed crusade against the heathens in Greece has waned since the failure at Varna. We must convince the Pope to legitimize our unwavering efforts to reclaim Greece in the name of Christ.
	Gold in the Incan Empire was relatively abundant in comparison to the European Imperial counterparts. As the concept of minting coins was not a thing in Inca, the gold was smelt into various golden idols and Jewelry. Gold was still precious though, being thought to be derived from the gods and dubbed as 'Sweat of the Sun'.
	While our people yearn for independence, our forces alone might not be enough to enforce our liberty from the Danes. We need to find allies outside Scandinavia who seek the destruction of the Kalmar Union.
	We have heard disturbing reports from Stockholm; its masters plan a devastating invasion of Poland, aiming to reduce our nation to ashes. This must not come to pass; we must strike at Stockholm before they strike at us!
	The New World is open for conquest. Sweden should take advantage of this opportunity while it lasts.
	If a hostile power were to establish a foothold on the Southern shore of the Baltic, Sweden would be in great danger. It is better that we tether our horses to the enemy's fence, than he to ours.
	Skåneland is the Danish foothold in the mainland of Scandinavia. As long as Skåneland is in their hands we will always be vulnerable from the south. We should conquer this area as soon as possible in order to contain the threat of Denmark.
	The domains of the Po Valley down to the Adriatic are ruled by proud men, sinful men, who brazenly refuse to recognize our authority and even attempt to appoint their own clergy. Such insults to the Papacy cannot stand!
	Switzerland has had a difficult relationship with the Holy Roman Emperors. We must either negotiate a strong position for ourselves within the Empire or find a safe route to leave.
	While the question of the heathens within our state is cleared, it is apparent that the infidels outside of our border are a threat to the our religion faith and our cultural identity as a whole. We must pick up the sword and fight for not only the survival but prosperity of the our religion!
	We shall combine the traditions of the old with the technologies of the new. As such, we will get the best of both worlds putting us at the forefront of innovative thinking and our past will forever be cherished.
	Our architecture is unlike any other. As a dynasty with its origins in Sunni Iran, our architecture in India is a mix of the traditional styles native to this area and the influences from the West, creating a combination full of splendor.
	The needs of our country have been expanding in recent decades. For this reason, it would be a good idea to reform our government to establish a more comprehensive system that allows us to employ an efficient bureaucracy organized in different thematic and territorial councils.
	Banking practices are evolving rapidly as commerce becomes more sophisticated. We must ensure that our own banks have enough gold in their vaults to fund the continued expansion of our nation's interests.
	Banking practices are evolving rapidly as commerce becomes more sophisticated. We must ensure that our own banks have enough gold in their vaults to fund the continued expansion of our nation's interests.
	Clothes and textiles of our land are highly sought after and are symbols of our high culture. The demand for cloth and silk is high; higher than we might be able to provide. We must construct additional workshops in order to satisfy the market.
	To symbolize the great rule of our dynasty, let us construct a glorious mausoleum to house the tomb of our ruler and all those who shall succeed their. Made out of finest marble, it should be as lavish as the life of a Mughal Emperor.
	To bolster the superiority of our forces, let us recruit regiments from the native Iranian population. Though they may not have the same prowess as our Turkic troops, they can still be a significant asset for our military.
	Constantinople is one of the most holy and venerable cities in Europe, and it behooves us to bring it and its hinterland under our control, where it can magnify our righteous glory, and we can bring it into a realm worthy of its own majesty.
	The port of Gibraltar may be a useful bargaining tool in dealing with the Spaniards and Moors. It would also be an invaluable resupply base for our Mediterranean operations.
	Undeniably, control over the seafront along the West Indian Coast would give us greater control over India as a whole. Take this land in the name of our nation.
	As the logical extension of the great Empire of Timur, we, the Mughals, lay claim to all of India. The warriors of the Steppe shall seek out new riches.
	This land rightfully belongs to us. Evict the squatting nobles, and burn them at the stake.
	Our landowners report that our occupation is working well in the South, yet the East India Company tell us that it would be beneficial to all if we were to maintain direct control over Northern India.
	Futa Jallon is a sandstone plateau, heavily eroded by the abundant rainfall, that lies to the southwest of our realm. The region can be used as the start of a longer front to challenge the power of Mali.
	The Moldavian lands are a fertile patch of land which is known for its wine production. It is also the access point for the Ottomans to Ruthenia. We should annex Moldavia in order to prevent the Turks from expanding into East Europe, and, of course, in order to get access to the wine.
	The Novgoridian province of Neva is a strategically important province. Not only is it an important center of trade, but it is also the only feasible access to the Baltics for the Russians. It is recommended that we conquer this province and cut the Russians to the east off from the Baltic Sea before they can utilize it for their war efforts against us.
	The city of our capital - the capital of the Kalmar Union; the capital our monarch used to rule from - is our most urgent war goal. If we want to retake the Kalmar Union for ourselves then we have to occupy our capital.
	Our neighbors in the west, the Pomeranians, are the descendants of the ones who once inhabited the Prussian lands. It is said that they still lust for vengeance against us for the actions of the past knights of 1225 and onwards. We push westwards and take over Pomerania so the flame of vengeance can finally die off.
	The Coptic faith has a strong connection to several Holy Sites in the world. One of these is the ancient city Qasr Ibrim, which served in the 8th century as the center of Christianity. However, its glorious days have found an end with its inhabitants turning towards the heathen beliefs. We should liberate it from its incompetent owner and turn the people there back to the true faith.
	As we head north, the extreme highlands' climate begins to subside and grow weaker. The ethnic make-up changes too, with the city of Quito being the capital of the Caran.
	our nation is a religious center of great importance for the Muslim faith. As devoted Muslims we are obligated to protect it from external threats. But to protect the Holy City we need to assert our dominance over it first.
	Now that we control Sardinia, we should set our sights on Sicily, an island with an illustrious history and considerable riches. By taking it, we would control a commanding position in the seas west of Italy and be in a strong position to funnel riches from the Mediterranean trade routes into our capital.
	The rich lands of Silesia, which like Lusatia are an attractive target for Saxon settlers, stand between us and further eastern expansion. We should seek to conquer this strategically important area.
	The time has come for Mali to give their title to us. Their decline weakened them and now they are just a shadow of what they once were. However to claim the Empire title of West Africa we need to demonstrate our power by outclassing Mali in every aspect imaginable.
	The Holy Roman Emperor leads the state business of the Holy Roman Empire, defends it from foreign and internal threats and gains manpower and wealth from the members. The current Emperor is weak, and is enjoying the spoils of the Empire without being able to actually protect the members' interests. It is time that we take the crown of the Emperor for ourselves!
	The Son of Heaven requests that the islands to the north of Japan be settled with landless Ronin for the peace of the Emperor.
