	Goal	Key
	One of the greatest treasures of the world has been sitting under our very nose the whole time: the Papal Coffers of the Curia! It will be a daring venture and many devoted Catholics might hate us for that, but in our hearts we know that we have to raid the Curia.
	Centuries ago Antioch fell to outside invaders and ever since the true patriarch of Antioch has resided in Mardin in Anatolia. We must retake this ancient seat and re-establish the oldest Christian Church in the world in its rightful home.
	The peasantry of Sweden plays an influential role within our country. They are the backbone of our economy and feed our population. Naturally, we should make sure that the peasantry stays loyal to their home country. Constructing manufactories in their name might show to them our good intentions.
	All over Germany the peasants are rising up against their masters. We must support their pious struggle, and help our brothers and sisters in establishing their own peasant republics.
	With Sumatra secured, we can now turn our attention to the rich trade ports of the Peninsula.
	The upstart monarchs of Iberia have taunted us for the last time. We must liberate the people under their chain and introduce their royal family to our guillotines.
	Ever since its creation, Hungary has been a multicultural nation. Though ethnic diversity has not caused much trouble so far, the new enlightened ideas of nation-states are slowly redefining what a nation is. With so many different people living within our borders, this situation might pose a significant threat to us. We must address it at once.
	Not every expansion has to be done through warfare. Diplomacy and culture are the tools we shall utilize to spread our influence and manipulate the smaller states. The growth of our territory shall not be decided on the battlefield but in the court. But first, we must prepare our bureaucracy for the challenges ahead.
	If somebody thinks of master tailoring, they think of carpets with patterns as complex as also breathtaking. Nobles, clerics, and burghers alike kneel in the splendor which is these masterfully crafted pieces of textile.\nThey think of the Persian Rug; they think of our culture and our art. It is our duty to ensure that no other tapestry can become our competition.
	Our kind is not well received outside the borders of our confederacy. Apparently, all these land dwellers are not too fond of our activities.\nWe need to establish a place which pirates of Northern Europe can call a home. We need to make a Pirate Safe Haven.
	Raiding the rich Indian coast will bring us much booty. Some will have to be shared with the pirates of Madagascar however, if we wish to use their ports to resupply. Unless, unless...
	When our name is known on all the seven seas, free pirates will flock to our cause and we will give those who do not yet fear us cause to.
	For many hundreds of years, the infidel reconquista has persecuted our brethren in Iberia. Where once the benevolent caliphate brought peace to the region, now our people flock to us in droves. It becomes us to prepare a home for them, that they might find the welcoming embrace of the faithful.
	The predicament of the peasantry has been ignored for far too long, threatening the stability and prosperity of our nation. We must take action to alleviate their struggles.
	Now that we have a number of ports on the Baltic coast, it is time to construct a fleet for our nation. Our ports must not be left defenseless against pirates and foreign powers.
	Poland, our closest allies, are experiencing a crisis of leadership which could have dire implications for Lithuanian independence. We must emerge from this situation with our sovereignty intact.
	Poland, our closest allies, are experiencing a crisis of leadership which could have dire implications for Lithuanian independence. We must emerge from this situation with our borders intact, be it via a union or by fighting for our independence.
	Pilgrims on the hajj come to our nation to seek passage to Mecca. We must accommodate these pilgrims and maintain good relations with the Ulema.
	The Aceh region has become the staging point for the spread of Islam in Nusantara. We must stamp out this new faith and restore Aceh to Majapahit.
	The meddling Christian kings ensured that the strategic port of Sebtah remains out of our grasp. Despite numerous attempts to liberate our mistreated kin, it once again lies under foreign rule. Make landfall, and establish our beachhead once again.
	While the reformation is spreading like a wildfire, the Catholics try to suppress the reformers, and expel them from their lands. The hostility from the Catholics is more than clear, and it is only a question of time until they declare offensive wars in order to "root out the heresy". We should become the Sword of the Reformation, and make sure that these Catholic fanatics will not stop the Reformation!
	The Dukes of Provence aspire to much, but achieve little. They would be better off as subjects to France.
	The people of West Prussia cry out to be free of Teutonic rule. We must offer them our support in their struggle for liberty.
	The Incan Qollqa is a warehouse stationed at one of the Incan roads. It is where many of the local goods, supplies, and provisions are stored. Those buildings store food for hard times, tools for artisans, and much other equipment.
	The Queen's Channel is our natural frontier with Manila. We should take advantage of this and pay close attention to maritime trade.
	Passing judgement and administrating the League is no easy task. To that degree, we must push funds towards erecting a central court to handle the day-to-day matters of the Hansa and its members.
	Genoa has traditionally aligned with the Guelph faction of Italian city-states which supports the primacy of the Pope over the Emperor. This has made the Emperor's protection a mixed blessing at best. As the Empire loses its grasp on Italy, Genoa must decide the question of its membership once and for all.
	Dreaming Stories across Australia vary wildly but one thing that is persistent is the belief in the Rainbow Serpent. Only by studying all aspects of the Dreaming may we begin to truly understand the nature of the Rainbow Serpent.
	As we further solidify Agra and its surroundings as the seat of our power, the risk of a concentrated attack into this plain is increasing. Let us construct a new, magnificent fort in the nearby Delhi to protect our flank and to continue projecting the strength of our rule.
	In the turmoil of the battle, troops can lose their orientation quickly and find themselves shooting on allies and comrades on accident. Such incidents must be avoided at all cost.\nEstablishing a proper uniform for our troops which makes them strikingly visible will reduce the number of such accidents significantly while also improving the look of our army.
	The Serene Republic of Venice clashed with our might on several occasions in the past already. Starting with the Crusade of Nicopolis in 1396 to the Battle of Gallipoli from 1416 up to the Siege of Thessalonica in 1430 - our two realms have been in constant conflict. Yet it is more than apparent that we both benefit a lot from the trade with each other too.\nWe should make a decision of how we deal with the Venetians.
	The tensions in the Holy Roman Empire between the heretics and the followers of the true faith are rising. It is only a question of time before a religious war breaks out. It is in all of Christianity's best interest that the Catholic League wins this war if it happens.
	The religious situation in the Holy Roman Empire becomes more and more tense. The Protestant electors demand religious freedom while the Emperor tries to enforce religious unity in Germany. It is only a question of time before the situation escalates into a full blown war.\nWe should intervene in this religious war so we can protect the interests of the Holy See and eventually even expand our own influence in North Germany.

	Merchants tell of a land of fabulous riches in the far east. We must send our warships and negotiators to ensure that this wealth flows into our pockets.

	India produces much of the world's silk, diamonds, spices, and textiles. We must establish monopolies on these goods.
	Across the Khyber Pass lie the temptingly rich plains of the Punjab. Let us walk in the footsteps of our forefathers and invade this region for the greater glory of our dynasty!
	Our peasantry will not stand for Korea being dismembered by our foes, no matter how desperate our situation might seem! Rather than submitting to foreign occupation, they will surely rise up against our oppressors and see Korea's freedom remains unblemished.
	We have inherited territories known as the Upper Palatinate to the east. However, they are isolated from the rest of our lands. Further conquests are required to secure the territorial integrity of our state.
	The Italian nation and the Papacy are in an awkward position. Through tradition and history, the Papacy claims the right to rule large swathes of Central Italy. Through people and geography, Italy claims the right to rule all of the Italian peninsula. Tensions will remain between the two institutions, unless a more permanent agreement can be reached.

	A our ruler is nothing without their advisors. No matter how the future of our nation will look like, competent consultants are always required.
	The maritime nature of our state demands adaptations of our military. We must establish the Royal Marines which shall protect the interests of our nation overseas.
	Yet the most iconic of all Byzantine symbols has to be the Royal Purple dye. Tyrian Purple garments were the symbol of royalty and royal offspring would be born in a room glazed with purple rock, exceedingly rare at the time. The dye would be produced in several spots across the Empire, but the yields were never high, and availability remained limited. Let us restore the color to the Roman royalty.
	Russia is one of the last obstacles to a our hegemony in Europe. We must capture Moscow even if our armies must endure the frozen hell that is Russia in winter.
	We have gained full access to the Indian and Chinese markets and we are funneling its most valuable assets to our main entrepot in Europe. But what we are gaining is only the start of a far greater enterprise. Let us revive the Silk Road and turn it into the path which leads the riches of Asia to Europe.
	Ruthenia is home of the Kievan Rus and of the Orthodox faith. As they are heretics it is only natural that we take over their land and convert them to the true Christian faith.
	Islam is the true faith, and the true caliphates of Islam have often ruled over the entire peninsula. Though we are but a Sultanate and most of Arabia is an inhospitable desert our status as a resurgent powerhouse in the region puts an indirect pressure on us to try to reunite the Arab tribes once more. Let history be repeated and have the birthplace of Islam be united under one banner - under the Ayyubid banner.
	During the second half of the 15th century, the power of the Doge of Venice is relatively limited. The Venetian Republic's governmental structure has shifted towards a more decentralized system, with significant influence held by the Council of Ten and various noble families. The Doge primarily serves as a ceremonial figurehead, representing Venice on formal occasions and performing symbolic duties. If we are to seize control of internal affairs, this status quo must change.
