	Given its diminutive size and its location in between the more powerful (when united) nations of China, Japan and Manchuria, it is no surprise that Korea has been invaded frequently over the years. Only by making our country impenetrable can we ensure our security from invasion.
	Mecca and Medina are the holiest sites in Islam. Politics in the region are complex, but we are in a position to subjugate both Sharifs. If we can control both cities under two subjects, there may be an opportunity for consolidation.

	The holy city of Mecca must be liberated for the free access of all who wish to undertake the Hajj. It becomes us to take great care of this wondrous and revered site.
	In these dark times, we must rally the Faithful together and present a strong front against heretics and heathens alike. A strong front requires strong allies, however. We need someone truly formidable on our side, if we aim to seriously pursue our sacred mission.
	Our control over the Persian Gulf has allowed us to control trade between Asia and the Middle East, as any ship wishing to make its way to Mesopotamia must sail through our glorious city first. If we place a sound toll for any fleet passing by, perhaps we can further increase our profits from trade any foreigner may conduct.
	We must ensure that our Lord is properly honored across our lands, in churches worthy of His name.
	The House of Wisdom, a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment in Baghdad, is being revived under our enlightened leadership. Once a sanctuary for scholars, it will regain its former glory through meticulous restoration. Distinguished scholars will gather, fostering intellectual exchange and innovation. The House of Wisdom's libraries will house ancient texts, sparking new discoveries. As patrons of wisdom, our reign will be forever remembered, illuminating a new era of enlightenment.

	The bishoprics of Estonia, Livonia and Curonia constructed cathedrals in the name of the Lord. However, these Houses of God are no longer maintained as the bishoprics ceased to exist. It is our duty to restore the old cathedrals and build new ones in the name of the Lord!
	The Treaty of Tours has brought an uneasy period of truce between our nation and France. Both sides are aware that this is unlikely to last, and we must decide whether to honor their treaty and bide our time, or prepare for war.\nThe fate of our nation depends on this very action.
	Though we have been making gains in recent conflicts against the English, they continue to occupy territories that are rightfully part of France. We must eject the English from our lands entirely!

	Hungary is at the core of our empire. However, the Hungarian people are fiercely independent and do not take their subjugation to a foreign power well. If we are to safeguard our stability, we must ensure - one way or another - that the Hungarian provinces wholeheartedly accept our rule.
	The failure of the Crusade of Varna has left our country leaderless and vulnerable. We must negotiate this crisis without losing our independence to any of our opportunistic neighbors.

	Until very recently, the Holy Crown of Hungary had been under our control. The devastating loss at the Battle of Varna has left the throne in Buda vacant, giving us the perfect opportunity to press our claims and retake it once again.
	The lands of Oman are home to the Ibadi school, a faith that has been a nuisance ever since our increased influence in the Oman area. We must deal with them, either by tolerating them, converting them, or perhaps accepting their teachings and spreading them...
	The Empire is at the brink of destruction. Every Roman citizen is silently aware that the end is nigh, and the days of Roman glory are already numbered. But is there really no hope for the crumbling empire? With the emperors struggling to make alliances with the west and seeking support, there might still be a chance for recovery.
	The Habsburgs have been dethroned, and the Empire has been knocked to its knees. It is upon us to decide whether we shall give it a death blow of mercy, or ascend as the new emperor and lead it to a new golden age.
	Some territories of the Empire have lapsed from our rule and are governed by those who do not recognize the Emperor's authority. This situation must be rectified.

	We should ensure that our capital is a place of glory and riches, where a great imperial citadel projects the power of the state.
	Our position among the great powers is a strong stance against the influence of all nations that seek to belittle our people. Our might and resilience alone will lead us to the top and establish us as the strongest.
	Indian trade goods such as silk textiles, cotton fabrics, and metal goods are highly requested by European merchants who come to visit us. In return, the Indian merchants themselves also require goods from us such as tobacco, dried fruits, chinaware, and of course some of our cultural exports.\nIt would be of great economic benefit if we establish an enterprise in India to increase our trade revenue as well as our influence in that subcontinent.
	The roar of the engines, the happy whistling of steam and the advancement of the knowledge forefronts are moving forward as we harness the leaps and bounds that our economy is growing with. Manufacturing lines, industrialization and the advent of new machinery will pave the way for our glorious industrial awakening.
	The Infantes of Aragon are the brothers and sisters of king Alfons V of Aragon, cousins of king Juan II of Castile, of the Trastámara dynasty. Their influence and ambitions in Castilian politics have been a constant for a quarter of a century, now reaching a new critical and turning point.
	Islam is a complicated religion. Many heirs of Muhammad - peace be upon him - claim the superiority of their teachings over those of their rivals, and eventually, the Islamic faith split into different branches. Only one path can be chosen, only one branch can be taken to reach spiritual enlightenment.
	The discovery of America was done by an Italian navigator first and foremost. It may have been made for a different power but that is irrelevant. Let us claim the Americas for ourselves.
	Local problems require local solutions. Allying with larger powers outside of Italy only leads to dependency, debts, and a loss of autonomy. We need to be able to manage ourselves.
	To master the tide and floods that erupt across the riverbanks of our great nation is a skill that will prove to be vital, if we are to survive the coming centuries. Floods have been the catalyst events behind the rise and fall of those who were here before us and as such we must take the necessary steps to make sure we do not end up as just another brief mention in the history books.

	The Kanuri are right next door, and a threat to our expansion. We must conquer them before they are powerful enough to conquer us.
	With the great fort of Udayagiri under our control the Coromandel Coast lies open before us. Let us expand as far as our armies can take us and conquer the entire coastline down to the Kaveri River Delta and the rich lands of the Tamil.

	Our people have been traditionally spread out between the several Mossi kingdoms; some big and other petty, but disunited nevertheless. If we want to survive as a nation, we need to unite as a confederacy.
	The Kingdom of Poland to our south is the target of the desire of many realms: the Teutonic Knights try to expand their power into Polish territory, the Muscovites are more than interested in annexing the West Slavic people, and the Ottomans in the south pose a serious threat to everyone in this region.\nTo achieve true hegemony in the North we have to find a policy of how we handle Poland. On the one hand it might be worth trying to get our dynasty onto their throne, while on the other hand the Kingdom of Poland might become a strategic and reliable ally against the Russians and the Holy Roman Empire.\nAlternatively, we could conquer them the old fashion way and be one of many others who claim the valuable Polish lands for themselves.
	The Livonian and the Teutonic Orders are now our subjects, but their loyalty is still questionable at best. We must ensure that they know their place under our rule by using their might in our name for the conquest of the Baltic Region!
	Bahrain is home to some of the most precious gems in Arabia. They are however controlled by foreigners, not making use of them to their full potential. Perhaps it is time we took over and traded these gems for our own benefit.

	We must safeguard our crusade by taking control of Egypt, re-establishing the Archbishopric of Alexandria and making the land a safe place for Christian pilgrims.
	The Icelandic sailor Leif Eriksson was the first Scandinavian to discover foreign land beyond the Atlantic Sea in the early 11th century. Little did he know that this new land was a whole new continent.\nThe vikings of Vinland are long gone now, but their courage will not be in vain. We shall colonize this strange land, and claim its resources for the our Crown!
	Hisn Kayfa is the last foothold of the Ayyubid dynasty. It is key to ensure that the city is well fortified so that it can serve as our base of operations.
	The city of Trebizond stands as the last vestige of the once-great Byzantine Empire in Anatolia, a poignant reminder of the Romans' bygone glory. The conquest of Trebizond is not merely territorial expansion, it's a symbolic act, signifying the definitive end of the Roman legacy in Anatolia, and the dawn of a new era under our banner. The time has come to turn the page and inscribe our own legacy in the annals of history.
	After the Fourth Crusade a Latin Empire was established in Constantinople, claiming dominion over the former Byzantine lands. We must restore this empire and take on the mantle of Rome.
	Being a gallant warrior is not the only significant quality in a chief, as loyalty is equally important. The nobility of the great Laughing King is unparalleled and having him by our side will be the greatest of honors.
	The two great Mesopotamian rivers of Tigris and Euphrates are the lifeline of Mashriq and have served as the cradle to many civilizations. If we are to support and feed our growing population and armies, the wealth and prosperity of this region must be firmly controlled by us.
	Only by controlling our region will we be able to call ourselves trader kings. Conquest or diplomacy, it matters not. All nations around will bow or perish.
	The Livonian Confederacy was a loosely organized confederacy under our rule which was created in 1435. It is a defensive alliance of the five bishoprics and the Livonian Order to protect the German rule over Curonia, Livonia and Estonia against the threat from Novgorod and its Orthodox Church.\nHowever, the different bishoprics within the confederacy are not our subjects but autonomous states, and as such they often have petty rivalries with each other. It is time to dissolve this confederacy, and integrate the lands of the bishoprics into our own.
