	The Duchy of Brittany is not recognizing their proper relationship with the French Crown. We should persuade them to return to the fold.
	The idea of connecting the Nile River with the Red Sea dates back to the times of ancient Egypt. As we now possess the means required for such a miracle of engineering to happen, we must consider this investment. Should we succeed in building the canal, the entire Sultanate shall prosper from the trade and tolls collected.
	Originally motivated by our quest for fur, our our nation pushed its way to the east and has reached markets with goods unkonwn to any of our Western neighbors. For the fortune of mother Russia, we must get involved in this trade!
	Scotland and France maintain close ties, promising mutual aid against English aggression. As the conflict between nations only seems to be escalating, Scotland must renew its diplomatic ties.

	The Habsburgs of Austria have liberally married their offspring into just about every noble house in Europe. While this puts them in the good graces of many nations, their policy is a double-edged sword; strategic marriages have united the thrones of many nations, but the fruit of these unions also inherit claims upon Austria itself.

	Ever since the end of the Genpei War in 1185, the power in this country has been in the hands of the samurai. The unification of the country under our hand established a very prosperous shogunate, but His Majesty the Emperor still resides in his palace. Other Emperors have tried in the past to put themselves back at the front of the government, and one even succeeded for a while, so that's a constant potential of threat to our authority we must keep in mind. On the other hand, maybe having the Emperor back holding the reins is not that bad of an idea after all.
	We must establish a balance of power in Europe in which our continued preeminence is guaranteed.
	For much of our history we have played a minor part on the world stage. The great powers must be forced to consider us among their number.

	Denmark has ambitions to conquer the Baltic, but to do so it will need a mighty fleet.
	Sweden has ambitions to conquer the Baltic, but to do so it will need a mighty fleet.
	National banks typically exist to finance the state, but Scotland shall take a different approach. The Bank of Scotland will lend mostly to business owners to encourage private development.
	Raichur Doab sits on the border between Vijayanagar and the Bahmani Sultanate. If we hope to triumph against them, we must begin by taking this fortified frontier.
	The King of Denmark wishes to subjugate the fiercely independent people of our nation. Though we will surely be outnumbered and outmatched in many ways, we must put our faith in God and use every tactical advantage at our disposal to repel the Danish armies. If by the grace of God we succeed, we should push on and liberate Holstein from Danish rule.
	A Ghigau, or Beloved Woman, is chosen for her bravery in battle, her wisdom in life and her integrity and devotion to the truth. It would be a great honor to have one in our own court.
	And yet the most experienced and seasoned fighters in the Incan army were guards comprised of noblemen, dubbed 'Big Ears' after the earplugs they would wear to symbolize their status.
	Ever since the collapse of our enemies Southern India has been ripe for the taking. The Tamil and Kannada uplands due south of Bijapur are perhaps not as rich or fertile as the Coromandel coastline but they are the home of a fierce people of strong martial traditions.\nBy extending our control all the way to the Konkan and Malabar Coast we will also take a firm hold over the southern trade.
	Our Black Army has already become a well-recognized force that wreaks havoc on the battlefield and fills the hearts of our enemies with fear. Let us further institutionalize it so that it may become a pride of our nation and an unrivaled military force.
	Despite the terrain of our region being mostly flat and swampy, it is apparent that we require defensible structures. None is a better candidate than a mighty fort in our nation.
	Uniting the crown of Bohemia with our own would significantly increase the strength of our nation - especially if we can see to it that their Electorate is transferred to us.
	Sympathizers in Bohemia have suggested that, if we united our territories with theirs, we would represent an effective counterbalance to the Habsburgs of Austria. We should act on their plans and seize supremacy in the Empire - or at least try and fail in a blaze of glory...
	We shall now reclaim the ancient land of our people. An expedition must be sent to the impenetrable shores of Borneo, and beyond them.
	The Nile is the lifeline of the Egyptian civilization. Providing an outstanding supply of irrigation and therefore food, with this great river any civilization can grow in population. Having reconquered the area, let us exploit the Nile to its fullest.
	Yet more Ming loyalists have fled to the hills of Burma, seeking shelter among Shan and Bamar chiefs. We must show them that there is nowhere to hide from those who righteously hold the Mandate.
	The ways of our warriors must be guided at all times by a sound philosophy of virtue and proper conduct. Loyalty, honor and obedience, such is the way of the Bushido. Strengthen our military tradition, and our realm will be respected throughout Japan.
	The fur trade flourishes thanks to our colony in the New World. But there is more land to discover and to settle. This New World and its resources shall belong to Mother Russia!
	Treacherous waters surround the legendary cape of Africa, but who knows what wonders lie beyond? Our expansion puts great strain on the merchant fleet, and we must be sure to provide them adequate protection.

	Our continent has seen the birth of tremendous history. To that end, we must seek to have the most illustrious city within it, and write our name in the books of history with golden letters.
	The sheer riches of this new land dotted with islands and archipelagos, is beyond our wildest dreams. Establish an administrative authority to act as a base of operations in our new colonial ventures.
	One of the many names given to our people means “those who inhabit the cave country”, and it is, in fact, a name that suits us. The land surrounding our villages is as steep as our people’s nature.
	A highly efficient branch of our government, we must present our utmost efforts to ensure the continued process of centralization and bureaucratic efficiency so as to match the size of our enormous domain.

	To protect our folk from outside threats, we cannot depend entirely on the armies raised by prominent locals. Instead, we should develop and refine a proper militia system, made up of veteran troops.
	Champa is a maritime kingdom, but the Vietnamese invasions have forced us to focus on the land. We should rebuild the trade fleet.
	The Tibetan Empire once ruled a great expanse of China's western reaches, from Gansu in the north to Yunnan in the south. It is time to reacquaint these lands with Tibetan rule.
	Deeper within the region of Kongo are the Chokwe and the Lunda, both tribes with their own unique culture and traditions.\nThe Chokwe are exceptionally good craftsmen and artists and their art work is a regional treasure.\nThe Lunda are known to our people for their efficient statesmanship and their deep connection to religion.\nOur our nation could benefit from the integration of both cultures into our own.
	Rajendra of the Chola dynasty once launched an ambitious campaign to conquer Malaya. Though only partially successful, his efforts inspire our own expansionist ambitions.
	The Chola dynasty ruled south India for over a millennium. Their conquests were truly inspiring, but most impressive was Rajendra's invasion of Kedah on the Malay Peninsula. We should replicate their success and gain a foothold in South-East Asia.
	The Chontal Champutun Maya of the Western Lowlands, calling themselves Yokot'an are a profoundly mercantile people. Toiling themselves with conducting trade across the northern coast, with their help we could build a great trade network.
	The cradle of civilizations, Mesopotamia, now languishes under foreign rule, its Christian population yearning for liberation. The land of the Tigris and Euphrates is crying out for deliverance, and it is our duty to heed this call. We must march eastward, to free our brethren and restore the splendor of Christendom in these ancient lands.
	The coastal cities of the Holy Roman Empire consists mostly of members of the Hanseatic League. We should blockade, occupy or annex these cities if we ever want to disband this league which threatened our trade dominance in Öresund for so long.
	The city of Riga, the crown jewel of our our nation, is in the hands of the instead of ours. They elect their own mayor without our input, pursue their own agendas against our own will and keep the city running without sharing the fruits of their labor with the our nation.\nThis must stop!
	Many true believers have fled Persia when the fate of their home had become clear. These souls have founded a new community in the Indian city of Daman. Many generations later, the people living there cannot be called our, but they are still connected to us through our common beliefs. We must ensure that this community thrives under a Zoroastrian state.
	Baghdad was once the greatest city in the world. The destruction brought by the Mongols was so devastating that the city has not really recovered since then. Under our rule, the City of Peace will be restored to its former glory.
	The city of Moscow is the home of the Muscovite people, who eventually adopted the Rus name. Like Novgord, so was Moscow founded by our ancestors, though they were mostly known as the Kievan Rus. Over the centuries, the connection between our people and Kievan Rus has become loose at best.\nHowever, the Russians of Muscovy have proven to be a formidable threat. It is in our interest to conquer their center of power to protect Sweden from their influence. The historical connection to the city is just a neat bonus.
	René of Anjou is the rightful ruler of a great many realms. He was tragically ejected from his seat in Naples, denied the crown of Aragon, and pretends to the mastery of Jerusalem. Few take these claims seriously. We must show the lords of Christendom that the claims of Provence should not be dismissed lightly.
