	Goal	Key
	The isles of our nation, our nation and our nation are in possession of the Scottish Sinclair clan, who are technically a subject to Scotland. However, the Earldom of Orkney serves the our Crown, which of course wants to get the earldom for themselves, and punish the clan severely.\nWe should eliminate Scotland in order to protect our interests in the North Sea, as well as prevent any Scottish aggression against our holdings.
	Furthering our influence abroad by creating new colonial subjects and outposts will further amplify our monetary gains and our military might, both at home and abroad.
	Greenland is one of the most remote places within our our nation. It was discovered by Erik the Red in the year of 986, and over time the large island has been colonized by our ancestors.\nHowever, contact with Greenland has died down in the recent years, and it is unknown what could have been the cause. We should reach out for Greenland yet again, and see what has happened to the people living there.
	Lithuania has been in relative decline, compared to Poland. It is time to bring them into to closer union with Poland for our own, as well as their, security.
	In other nations the noble laborers who work the fields and factories would be met with bayonets and grapeshot if they demanded bread for their toil. In our nation no man, woman, or child shall ever die of hunger. Let us provide bread for all!
	A Council House is the center of each of our villages. Our leader rules from there, weddings and meetings are held inside it, and it works as a symbol of our diplomatic power. We should invite some allies to come and see it with their own eyes.
	Mesopotamia is of great importance in several aspects. For scholars, it is the ground where the first human civilizations prospered. For men of religion, the importance of Baghdad to Islam is out of question. And for us its fertile lands and strategic position at the Persian Gulf makes it to an invaluable asset of our ever-growing empire.
	The first navy of our great our nation was established in 1323 after capturing the town of Karamürsel. Ever since our navy has been growing.\nYet our rivals on the sea such as the last Knights Hospitaller, the Genoese Trade Republic and the Doges of Venice are still a threat to our security. Building up our fleet is of great priority if we do not want to fall behind our enemies.
	For far too long have we laid splintered, our lands under foreign command. France can never be safe lest the region we inhabit is united under our banner.
	The Frankish King Lothair II once carved out a mighty kingdom from the Low Countries to Savoy. We are the obvious successors of Lothair's kingdom, and yet we have to content ourselves with lesser titles. This will not do. We must reclaim the rest of Lothair's territories and insist on our coronation as Kings of Lotharingia.
	The Kalmar Union unifies all of Scandinavia under one crown, and the aristocrats of Sweden and Norway obey our our ruler. But even before the creation of the Kalmar Union, Denmark and Norway had a long history together - reaching all the way back to Cnut the Great and his North Sea Empire. We should strengthen our ties with Norway even further to ensure that they remain loyal to the Kalmar Union.
	The Kalmar Union has been crippled by our independence, but it still remains due to the close ties between Denmark and Norway. Although the Danish king wants to deny it, Norway is mostly a province in the eyes of the Danish administration rather than a real kingdom of its own. It is our duty as good neighbor to free the Norwegians from Danish oppression and let them be ruled by a caring monarch for once.
	The Kalmar Union by itself is not a very old union as it was created in 1397. Yet, the nobility of Sweden expressed again and again their discontent with a our culture our ruler as their monarch. During 1434 - 1436, the Swedish miners, peasants and even nobles gathered behind Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson and started an open rebellion against the our Crown during our war with the Hansa. Only Engelbrekt's unfortunate yet very convenient death managed to break this rebellion, and normality has returned in Sweden.\nStill, unlike Norway, the Swedes and their nobility are a powder keg, waiting for a moment to explode into yet another rebellion. We have to secure the good relations with the Swedish nobility as fast as possible.
	Our financial advisors have assured us that there is absolutely no way that this could go wrong.
	Under the leadership of our ruler our dynasty let us march and answer their call for Jihad and war. Our neighbors need to recognize their as the rightful Imam!
	The great peninsula of Arabia is the cradle of the Islamic faith; the birthplace of the great Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him). As devout Muslims, it is clear that Arabia shall stand under our protection.
	People of the Dharmic religions follow many gods and take many forms. Perhaps by studying their ways more deeply, we may gain some unique visions of the Dreamtime.
	Many years have passed since the Divine Wind blew an invading Mongol army away from Japan, and saved the Motherland from foreign invasion. In the future, perhaps we should be better prepared?
	Far from our shores exists an Emperor of Dragons. This Emperor is clearly an agent of Wagyl, and we must make the Chinese populace aware of this revelation.
	Vienna would be a fine addition to our our nation. We should acquire it for ourselves.
	Through complex laws of succession, we have a claim to the Duchy of Cleves. While shaky, it provides a cause for expansion into the Rhineland.

	The Eagle has been wounded, but that does not mean it can't recover. We must tend to the wounds of Hisn Kayfa - of Ayyubids - and nurture ourselves to a healthier and safer position lest we risk becoming a dead nation in the history books. Soon, the eagle will fly again, it will fly alone, and everybody will live under the shadow of its mighty wings.
	Our navy is the lifeblood of the Hanseatic League. So long as any nation can challenge our control of the seas, our commercial dominance will not be assured. We must build a grand fleet that no competitor will dare to stand against!
	Majapahit once collected tribute from the numerous petty kingdoms of Nusa Tenggara. It is time that we ruled over them more directly. We should assemble a fleet and the capacity to colonize these islands to prepare for our campaign in the east.
	The European stage is set. Kingdoms either fall or form into empires which shape the world to their liking. We cannot allow us to fall behind. Of all these empires, the Russian Empire shall ascend to the Crest of the World Powers.
	With our complete and utter dominance of the trade, the Yemeni Arabic has become the lingua franca in all ports of the Arabian Sea, be they on the Indian, Persian or Somali coast. Whoever wants to acquire goods from this area must not upset the patricians in Aden.
	While the western provinces are under the threat of expansionistic empires, our eastern flank is not spared of a similar issue. We must construct defensive strongholds in our east so we are prepared in case of invaders from India.
	Literacy is vital for the health of a nation that aspires to modernity. Church-led schools in every parish must be established, and all landowners must knows the basics of Latin, law, and the arts.
	Traditional Jurchen hunting parties have served us well in conflicts against our rivals, but if we ever wish to conquer an empire we must reorganize our forces into disciplined Banner regiments.

	Embracing the Renaissance is but the first step towards enlightening our populace. We must also make sure there are sufficient funds for erecting proper tuition facilities around the country.
	Now that we have access to the Atlantic via the port of Emden, we must charter a Royal Asiatic Company to traverse the oceans in search of wealth to bring home to our nation.
	The Kalmar Union is powerful and possess naval, military and economical power beyond what we can muster in Gotland.\nFortunately for us, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire has his own agenda against the Kalmar Union as the Duchy of Holstein is de jure part of the Empire, yet de facto a subject of the Union. We should make a deal with the Emperor for subsidies in our war efforts.
	The Ottoman Empire has emerged as the dominant force in the Balkans and the Middle East, posing a significant threat to the entire Christian world. It is imperative to overthrow this empire of non-believers and consign it to the pages of history.
	The Kingdom of Denmark has made several enemies and rivals over the centuries. It is crucial for our survival to contact them and request an alliance with them.
	It is our obligation to unite all the Navajo people under the same supreme authority.
	The English nation is a powerful force in European politics, but it relies mainly on its naval superiority to provide it with security. Now that our naval force can outstrip theirs, we should consider whether such a troublesome island should be allowed to keep its independence... or whether the ancestral closeness between Germans and English should be restored.
	Across the length and breadth of our realm, the emblem of the Black Sheep, our venerable symbol, flutters in the wind. Our rule has not only brought stability and prosperity, but a golden age of culture has blossomed under our guidance. Poetry and prose, music and dance, architecture and science - all aspects of culture have thrived, echoing the glory of the past while charting new territories of creativity and knowledge. The 'Era of the Black Sheep' has begun, marking a period of unparalleled intellectual and artistic blossoming under the banner of the Qara Qoyunlu. We must celebrate and nurture this era, letting it be known far and wide that the Black Sheep rule in an age of enlightenment and prosperity.
	Across the length and breadth of our realm, the emblem of the White Sheep, our venerable symbol, flutters in the wind. Our rule has not only brought stability and prosperity, but a golden age of culture has blossomed under our guidance. Poetry and prose, music and dance, architecture and science - all aspects of culture have thrived, echoing the glory of the past while charting new territories of creativity and knowledge. The 'Era of the White Sheep' has begun, marking a period of unparalleled intellectual and artistic blossoming under the banner of the Aq Qoyunlu. We must celebrate and nurture this era, letting it be known far and wide that the White Sheep rule in an age of enlightenment and prosperity.
	The future of our state is unknown, but one thing is for sure: whatever direction our nation might go, the estates have to be on the side of our our ruler.
	Constantinople might be the New Rome, but the old Imperial capital, the Eternal City itself, has been lost since the fall of the Exarchate of Ravenna in 751. The unexpected resurgence of the Roman Empire has given rise to a powerful movement seeking reunification with our ancient Latin home...

	Great Powers are emerging in Europe, and the nets of alliances and diplomacy become more and more of great importance. If we want to survive in this ever evolving stage of rising empires then we need strategic alliances who share their view of rivals with us.
	Although many goods from the New World flow into our channel, it is by far not the only trade hub in Europe with considerable profit to make. Expanding our presence in Europe will ensure our dominance over the European commerce.
	As the authority of our our ruler is more and more in question, the Eyalets, our once so loyal subjects to govern our territories, are turning against us. The situation needs to be stabilized.
	Our Muslim brethren in the Horn of Africa are at risk of being overrun by the Christian infidels of Ethiopia or, even worse, the pagans of the Oromo. We should step in and establish the Eyalet of Adal to secure the Muslim control over this region.\nOf course the growth of our influence in diplomacy and trade in the Horn of Africa as well as our strengthened grip over the Red Sea are a few additional advantages we can gain from this.
	The Infidels of Iberia laid waste to the Muslim states that have dominated the South of the peninsula for centuries and are now the bastion of the Christian faith in Western Europe. As our borders are closer than ever, wars and conflicts with the Iberians is inevitable.\nWe must ensure that it is us who shows superiority. We shall drive the Spaniards and Portuguese out of Iberia and establish the Eyalet of Al-Andalus on its place instead!
	Although the heretics of Persia are no more a risk to our dominance in the Arabic world, their territory along and beyond the Zagros Mountains is difficult to govern. Once again, we need an Eyalet which administrates the Persian region for us.
	Egypt fell under our relentless assault and the Mamluk sultanate is no more. Yet, one thing remains to be handled: the government of our newly conquered territory and the fate of the Mamluks who used to rule these lands independently.
