	Serfdom is a powerful tool to increase the state's overall productivity - and to ensure its population's enslavement. The fate of the peasantry lies in our hands.
	Before our world, the Five Suns were fighting against each other as to who gets to be the Sun deity of the world. First was Tezcatlipoca, whose humanity was devoured by his jaguars when his sibling Quetzalcoatl dethroned him. Second was Quetzalcoatl, whose humanity grew corrupt, leading to their banishment. Third was Tlaloc, whose grief, sorrow and anger destroyed the earth on which the humans lived in. The Fourth was Chalchiuhtlicue, whose humanity was tricked by Tezcatlipoca to hate their Sun. The Fifth was Huitzilopochtli, God of War, and the current sun of humanity. In his constant battle to keep humanity alive, we must offer humans sacrifices to nourish him, as well as keep Tezcatlipoca at bay, and offer blood for the great Quetzalcoatl.
	Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca. Those were the original five nations that shaped the so-called Iroquois Confederacy. We shall take those lands under our judicious wing, in one way or another.
	Sikhism shall have five Takhts, seats of authority from which the Khalsa shall be governed. Each must have a great Gurdwara, and the people of the region must be brought into the faith.
	The our people have always been a people of the sea. Centuries ago, our ancestors used longboats to loot and plunder the European coasts. It was our sailors who fought with the Danes against the Englishmen.\nAnd even in recent times, it was our ships which engaged with the Hanseatic Fleet in the Danish Trade Conflict with the Hansa. It is time for us to expand our fleet so they can serve once again for the glory of our nation.
	Territories around the Weser valleys to our West lay under weak leadership. Let us intervene in the local politics and save the people from their incapable and inefficient ruleship.
	Legends tell of the Fountain of Youth, its water so blessed that it can heal the sick and prevent death by ageing. If such a miraculous thing truly exist, we must secure it for our sacred order. Immortality awaits!
	Following the Fourth Crusade, we established several lordships in former Byzantine lands, and for a while helped maintain their presence in the region. The Greeks denigrated these realms as the 'Frankokratia', the rule of the 'Franks', but for us, they were useful tools for extending our power. It was a grand time to be a Venetian. The time is ripe to re-establish our presence in Constantinople, the real center of power in the area, but this time we should play a more active role in the region's administration.

	Discovering the New World has given birth to new commercial opportunities. Let us harness them and funnel the riches of far-away lands into our French Channel.
	The Fulani are our neighbors and for centuries our people have been in contact. The relations have not always been friendly, but there is some kind of kinship between us and we think it could be possible to fully integrate them into our realm.
	Our experiment in India has shown us that the future of extraordinary profits do not lie in the Mediterranean, but abroad, towards the Indies and the East. We must establish a stronger presence in these lands, so that we may tap into their vast riches.
	Long ago, our ancestors went forth and brought civilization to Gaul. Quite frankly, it's about time we do it again.

	The conquest of the Ganges is a truly ambitious proposal, yet potentially achievable through deft diplomacy, and most importantly astute military strategy.
	We have successfully consolidated Georgia, but now it is time for us to expand our power to the territories that once belonged to us. Let us, therefore, cross the so-called Gates of Alexander and subjugate the tribes living north of the Caucasus.
	In order to achieve true hegemony in the Baltics we have to ensure that no coastline can endanger our trade or our national security. Right now, however, the areas of Pomerania and Mecklenburg are in foreign hands, which might be against our interests. We should either find a trustworthy ally in North Germany who holds these coastlines, or conquer them for ourselves.
	The Danish lands are rich and are able to sustain a large population, which in return can serve the country as soldiers.\nBut why should we throw good Danish lives away for our wars when we can hire somebody else to do so instead? The Germans to our south have plenty of competent and well-equipped mercenary companies. We should get into contact with them.
	We trace the origins of our title to the Count Palatines of the old Frankish kings. However, we cannot rest on the laurels that the antiquity of our titles brings. If we are to be taken seriously, it is imperative that our court maintains the highest standards of pomp and shows off our splendor to all of Europe.
	The British Isles have long been a source of competition for our country. Happily for us, the British have their own internal problems, and given the right opportunity we could use one of their domestic grievances to justify our own... intervention in British affairs.
	While North America is a provider of many valuable goods, the core land of Mexico is a literal treasure chest, filled with gold to the brim. It is our highest priority to subjugate this land and transport the gold to our capital.
	The land of Zimbabwe is rich in gold, we must conquer it to obtain such wealth. Only then will we have enough economic power to allow further expansion.
	There are no problems in this world that cannot be solved with gold. And if all else fails it can be used to buy more rum!
	Prague, sometimes called the Golden City, is a pride of our kingdom and one of the most important cities in the entire Europe. It should be in our best interest to make the city deserve its nickname, and make it overshadow all capital cities of our rivals.
	Suvarnabhumi was a legendary kingdom of ancient times. It has been an ambition of many empires to replicate the glory of the Golden Land, though none have yet succeeded. We shall be the first.
	Northern Italy holds some of the world's most prosperous lands. Home to political and scientific innovation, its beat is the pulse of the entire region and securing it would assist in further accelerating our conquest plans for the region.
	Sikhism lacks a true spiritual center, a clear beacon of God's splendor. We shall found a new city, Amritsar, and there we will construct a Gurdwara more magnificent than any that have come before or that will come after.
	The Princes of Gothia share a long history with the Komnenoi. Having once been a Perateia of Trebizond, our peoples have a lot in common. Our shared struggle should make the unification of our nations a mutual interest of both parties.
	During times of absence of our our ruler, there must be an institution which keeps the balance of power in our state in check and ensures the stability. The Governing Senate is exactly what our country needs to have established.
	The Grand Trunk Road is one of the world's oldest trade routes, spanning from Kabul in the west to Bengal in the east. If we could control the entirety of this ancient route, we would have an efficient transport network across all of northern India.

	We have concocted our ultimate revenge against the Ming dynasty: a great blockade that will completely cut off their ports from all maritime commerce. This will take every bit of our naval prowess to achieve, but we are confident that we have the numbers and skill to carry out the Great Blockade.
	The Hungarian state has endured for centuries, and our capital has grown to become an important city. However, it is dwarfed in size and in grandeur by Prague and Vienna, the capitals of our Western rivals. It would be a fine day were our capital to outstrip the other two and come to be considered as the principal city of Central Europe.

	The great powers are starting to project their power far beyond Europe, and expand into continents unknown to the rest of the world.\nWe cannot allow us to fall behind our rivals and stagnate in Scandinavia. Instead, we should establish a fleet of explorers who shall navigate through the foreign seas, and find opportunities for our own colonial ambitions.
	The Spanish Armada of the Iberians; the Royal Navy of the British Isles; the Royal Netherlands Navy - all of these navies are well known for projecting their power across the world. We must establish a navy which can compete with these other maritime great powers.
	The Great Peacemaker is one of the most advisable leaders among our tempestuous warring tribes. He brought us calm in moments of careless rage, helped all the people that lived and fought in the southern Great Lakes focus on more important duties. We must always remember that diplomacy is also a valid way of growing.
	Not all our wealth can come from mines, and not all our prestige can come from conquests. We must promote Serbia as an intellectual powerhouse, and to that end we must establish the finest university in the Balkans to attract bright students and promote new thinking.
	The Chinese armies are in disarray, their generals rapidly losing confidence in their masters. If we can control enough of northern China, these generals might decide to defect to us rather than serving a doomed Emperor.
	The story of Cusi Yupanki, called Pachacuti meaning Ground-Shaker or Reformer, is a famous one. One of the sons of the Incas of Cuzco, his father abandoned the city in anticipation of the Chanka army. Pachacuti remained and valiantly defeated the invader army in the gods' favor. Or so the story goes, as the details of these events evolved to suit the subsequent needs of his heirs.
	The Gulf of Aden has always been bustling with trade. We must take clear control of it and exploit it to our benefit.
	The Hungarian engineer and iron founder Urban has reached out to us. He is offering us his service and knowledge to create cannons which would be the downfall of the walls of Babylon itself!\nWe must make sure that we get access to his siege weapons.
	The Hakkapeliitta are the Finnish light cavalry, which excell in skirmishing, raiding and scouting. Their speed allows them to outmaneuver enemy fire and charge through the enemy lines. However, their numbers are few, and the Finns do not have the infrastructure to train more for the Swedish our nation.\nWe should construct barracks in Finland, and adapt our tactics so we can utilize more Hakkapeliitta in combat.
	The cities of the Hanseatic League have become rich on the trade that flows through the North Sea and the Baltic. We should claim their riches for ourselves by forcing them to accept our rule.
	Many from outside would question how our tribes manage to function in such extreme environments such as the arid Najd. This acclimatization is truly remarkable and allows us to thrive in such lands like noone else.
	Mecca is the center point for the Muslim Community. Home to the first Caliphate that has taken vast swathes of territories from our crumbling empire, it would be most ironic for us to seize their most holy of cities. Even more ironic it would be to convert it to a church.
	The core Yemeni territories lie within the Rasulid portion. It is certain that anyone who captures Taiz, subdues Aden and seizes Sana'a will be able to reunite this war-torn land.
	Persia has seen millenia of war, conquest, and empire. This land belonged to our ancestors, and by extension, belongs to us. Many holy cities lie in this land - claim them in our name.
	Past the Paektu mountain lies the kingdom of Korea, a land of fertility and abundant resources. Their affluence is dangerous, and we cannot allow them to roam free so close to our borders as they may evolve into a dangerous rival.
