	Goal	Key
	Our bid to control Prussian lands have resulted succesful. Now we have the opportunity to further expand our influence by taking control of Riga and the Livonian lands, finally ending the Crusading threat to our country.
	The Prussians to our south overhauled their military system, and established a government which can be described as an "Army with a State". However, their true success is in their efficiency in the administration of the country - their militarization is only the fruits of their government.\nWe should learn from our Prussians neighbors and reform the state, and introduce a prolific administration to the state.
	Hanse merchants already have a presence in London at the Steelyard by the Thames. However, the English only permit our presence there unwillingly, harboring ambitions of their own to become a great trading nation to rival the Hanseatic League. Faced with this threat, there can only be one logical course of action: we must make London a full and permanent member of our trade league.
	If we do not protect our faith, then no one will. We must build a mighty army to strike fear into the unbelievers!
	The king of Tyo, the so-called 'Makoko', rules over Anziku and its rich copper sources. Historically, we did not have any dispute with the people of Tyo, but their copper is of excellent quality and it is needed within our own kingdom for civil and military use. It would be beneficial if Tyo becomes an integrated part of our nation.
	Traders always come to us telling strange stories of the mysterious East and the Spice Islands. We must expand our influence towards those areas and take control of that trade ourselves.
	To the east, the strong nation of Mali threatens our security and our advisors, rightfully, tell us to start developing a strategy to defend ourselves.\nJust in case.
	Ours is a relatively new dynasty. We must prove that we can withstand the test of time before we march forward.
	With Beijing firmly under our control, it is time to claim the Mandate of Heaven. We will proclaim a new dynasty in China that will last for a thousand years!
	Once a beacon of astronomical research, the Maragheh Observatory lies in disrepair, a shadow of its former glory. This observatory was a hub of learning and discovery under the patronage of the Ilkhanate ruler Hulagu Khan, attracting scholars from far and wide. We must restore this symbol of intellectual pursuit to its rightful status.

We must restore this symbol of intellectual pursuit to its rightful status.
	The Europeans markets are full of opportunities, and while developing our own trade nodes and gold production helps us financially, there are still more ways to earn more Ducats.
	Beyond the lands of Eastern Mexico and the Zapotec lies the Mayans, people similar yet different to us. In the end, though, their people are worthy sacrifices.
	Unlike the northern parts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the southern part is more undeveloped, filled with hills and jungles. This makes it harder for us to conquer, but we will overcome those obstacles whatever the cost may be.
	Those who hold the means of material production also have control over the means of mental production, so that the ideas of the ruling class subjugate the minds of the poor. We must ensure that material production is controlled by the people and not by an elite few.
	Our booming commerce is handicapped by the arbitrarily dictates of local rules, who cannot appreciate the full benefits of our mutual arrangements, and insist on such petty hindrances as taxes, surcharges, and the supremacy of their laws over our agents. Clearly, the only way to settle this impasse is to assert our own administration in these lucrative lands.

	The Byzantine Population was among the most centralized of its time. The inside of Constantinopolitan walls was bustling with life and the city has grown to massive numbers. With the Emperor's court within the city, it was simply economically and politically beneficial to settle in the city. As we restore our Empire, this concentration of wealth is bound to reoccur.
	The armies in European warfare are growing larger and larger. It is important that we keep pace with the new standards of combat and therefore maintain more mercenaries for our wars.
	Pirates and privateers seek to enrich themselves by robbing our merchant ships. We must build a fleet capable of protecting them from predations.
	While North America is a provider for many valuable goods, the coreland 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.
	Mercenaries become more and more a rare sight on the battlefield. It is time for us to rethink our approach to warfare and reform our military accordingly.
	Now that we control the trade flowing through the Strait of Malacca, it is time we go even further, into the Spice Islands themselves. Only by doing that can we really control the whole trade flow and its riches.
	While the church has played a major role in the history of the state, it is more and more apparent that its position within our country needs to be rethought.
	It is Muscovite tradition that the oldest brother takes over the throne of the principality. Vasily I knew this, yet appointed Vasily II as his successor for the throne of Muscovy. Through this, our state had to suffer two periods of a civil war. At last, the rival to the throne, Yury Dmitrievich has been defeated. Yet, his son, Dmitry Shemiaka, still craves for the throne. We must make sure that this civil war ends.
	Although the Mwenemutapa is the divine ruler of our religion and our state, they still is an obedient to the almighty Mwari. A being who rules over the spirits of our ancestors, and a deity of creation, fortune and many more aspects. It is necessary that we honor its name with temples.
	The nobles of Sweden need to accept that they are part of the Kalmar Union - part of the our Crown. However, to make them accept this fact is easier said than done as they elect any peasant before our our ruler for the Swedish Throne.\nWe must secure the loyalty of the Swedish nobility - either by monetary means or by the sword.
	Commoners under the banner of our nation have long since suffered from raids executed by neighboring tribes into their lands. Famine, devastation and the loss of life are but some of the reasons behind the need to address this issue before it gets out of control.
	The North Sea Empire was created by the Great Sweyn Forkbeard, King of Denmark, Norway and England. His reign was of short duration though. After his death, his son Cnut the Great took over his mantle and united the three kingdoms yet again and ruled for 19 glorious years. Although he was a Christian, the Viking culture was at its height of power during his lifetime.\n\nIt is time to restore what is rightfully ours, and reclaim the North Sea Empire - but this time under the true gods' guidance!

	Syria has all but slipped from our grasp. The territories of the north have realized the weakness of our central government and in return demand more autonomy as time goes by...
	Trade with Novgorod and by extension the interior of Russia is vital for the prosperity of the Hanseatic cities. However, the merchants of Novgorod and the ambitious Tsars of Muscovy seek to control the city's trade and edge out competitors. We must ensure that our dominance over the city's markets is unchallenged.
	The Zapotec and the Mixtec are two kin and yet very different societies that inhabit the Oaxaca valley. Resisting Tenochtitlan's encroachment and fighting amongst each other, let us force them to join our league.
	The Office of the Sparapet, the commander-in-chief of our armed forces, is a symbol of our martial tradition and resilience. As we stand at the brink of a new era, we must restore this illustrious office to guide our forces, and our nation, to new heights of glory.
	The windswept steppes of Central Asia whisper stories of our ancestors, the formidable Oghuz Turks, who once roamed these lands. As their heirs, we hold the blood of these indomitable nomads in our veins. Their legacy lingers not only in our hearts but also in the arid landscapes of Central Asia. The time has come to reforge the ties of kinship with our ancestral lands and bring these territories under our control.

	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.
	Our efforts to spread the Shahada, the other Pillars and the Qur'an among the people ruled by us have been intense for decades. But now we have to assert Islam as the only religion, because there is no god but Allah.
	The Ichma venerate their own god - Pachacamac - Creator of the World. The idol representing this deity is commonly consulted as an oracle. Perhaps we ought to introduce this god to our pantheon.
	Joining the Holy Roman Empire was considered not because of our love to the other Germanic realms but for our own protection against the Polish-Lithuanian alliance. Now that we have defeated Poland, the threat our neighbors posed for us is no more.\nIt is time to gather the estates and the advisors to reevaluate our political position regarding the Holy Roman Empire.
	Founded to repel the Turks from the boundaries of Christendom, the Order of the Dragon has fallen into severe decline. The catastrophic defeat at Varna quashed the faith of many in the anti-Ottoman coalition. We must restore these alliances and stand united against the Turks.
	Founded by Sigismund of Luxembourg, the Order of the Dragon has become a vital part of our defense against the Turkish advance. The order needs to be significantly expanded so that its members will contribute a significant force to our campaigns against the heathen.
	Other European powers have become fabulously rich via their trading companies in the colonies. Now that we control the Netherlands, we should seek to get in on the act.

	The rising Ottoman Empire has been a menace to not only Eastern Europe but many countries of Central and Southern Europe as well. We must lead a campaign to stop their expansion.
	The our Empire stretches from East to West; few nations can match our tenacity. Nevertheless, there is still land out there that does not yet belong to us...

	If our merchants are to stand a chance whilst they're far away from Arabia, we need to aid them as well. By establishing new outposts and building them up in order to secure new trade routes, they will be able to further strengthen their influence on foreign territory.
