	Christianity will never be safe from the infidel until we have expelled the Ottoman menace from Europe.
	It is time we put up a defense against the tides of Anatolian infidels occupying European land. Establish a secure border, and fortify our territory. We shall not surrender easily.

	To our west lies the lands of Anatolia. Once home to the Romans, the provinces and cities were the battlegrounds of invading Mongols and Turks. Now it is the hatchery to the successors of the Seljuk Turks who once conquered Persia.\nWe should not lose any more time, and march into Anatolia before Persia gets once again conquered by the Turks.
	The Occitans of Southern France have longstanding connections with Italy, with mutual influences on culture, thinking, and peoples. It is only right that we encourage these connections, and bring southern France into the fold.

	At last, we are united. We must now mobilize our armies against the Kingdom of Ava that arrogantly proclaims hegemony over all of Burma. The time of the Shan domination begins today.
	The religious split in Yemen goes as far as the origins over the succession of Muhammad. However, what has changed in centuries since is the religious make-up of the area. One realm in particular, the Rassid State, has gained prominence, preaching a rare but ambitious sect of Zaidism.
	The lands of Silesia and Lusatia are inhabited by the Silesian and the Sorbian people respectively. Although they are no Germans, their Slavic heritage makes them potential allies of the Polish Crown - and a threat to our authority in Germany. We should take over these lands ourselves and integrate them into our society before our rivals start to support them against us.
	For centuries, the silk road has been a source of wealth for those who could control a large part of it. It is our turn to enjoy these benefits.
	The Silk Road has been the connecting line between the European kingdoms with the Asian civilizations for centuries. After the fall of the Mongol Empire, however, this trade route became disjointed and not as safe to travel as it used to be. We must restore its security and importance.
	We have discovered vast deposits of precious metals as we explore and colonize the New World. The systematic exploitation and trade of these metals, especially silver, would greatly increase our regular income.
	Slavery is ubiquitous in Africa. We should either monopolize the slave trade or seek to end the barbaric practice entirely.
	The Incas praise Inti, God of the Sun, as the creator and the ancestor of the royal dynasty from whom the emperors are descended. This makes a relationship with the Sun a very important part of the Inca religion.
	The Songhai cities along the Niger river are wealthy and populated. We must launch a campaign to control the river if we wish to secure our hold on regional trade.
	As one of the most powerful nations in the area, the sole existence of Songhai is a threat to our realm. As long as they are not kept in check, there is danger. They will kneel before us or die.
	It is a tradition of our people that gongs and bells are played in naval battles. That sound shall be our last warning.
	The Main, as it has become known, can be sighted from the decks of our trade ships before they dock at Hispaniola. If the prosperity of the Caribbean is any indication, it would be worth exploring the Main thoroughly.

	By securing northern Italy and the lands of Austria, we are now ready to further one of the ancient ambitions of the Habsburgs, the wealthy Netherlands. But first, we have to establish a series of military posts and alliances that could pave the way for our armies.
	There are rumours that the Spanish crown is weak and insecure. We must lay claim to the throne before our enemies have a chance to seize it themselves.
	We must achieve complete dominance over the spice trade, both in terms of production and distribution.
	Spices may not have a direct benefit to our nation, but the Spice Trade itself has proven to be profitable for us. We must make sure to secure the spices, whilst keeping away any competitors, if we are to monopolize on this valuable good.
	Spices may not have a direct benefit to our nation, but the Spice Trade itself has proven to be profitable for us. We must make sure to secure the spices, whilst keeping away any competitors, if we are to monopolize on this valuable good.
	Spices of various kinds are highly prized throughout the world. Controlling the global supply of these goods will make us wealthy indeed.
	Spices are a rarity in Europe, but they are in extreme high demand. Meanwhile, the East Indies are full of spices and other lucrative goods which are highly sought after. The basic principle of Offer and Demand requires us to establish a trade presence in Malacca so we can finally help our European neighbors in their spice problem - for the right price of course.
	There are those in our nation who do not believe in the Dreaming Stories. Now more than ever it is important to exemplify Stories of our people and proselytize them among this populace of strangers and make them aware of the Dreaming.
	The old Duchy of Swabia included lands beyond those which would now call themselves Swabians, with large territories in Switzerland and Vorarlberg. Through a show of strength, we can bring these lands back into the fold.
	"Divide and Rule." This has been the practice of our previous our ruler in order to maximize the tribute we could collect for our Tatar overlords.\nHowever, this form of decentralization is counterproductive if we want to ascend to the dominant power in our home region. The subjects of our nation must become part of the our nation.
	The Ottoman Sultan is the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world. We must court his favor in the hopes of receiving aid.
	The borders of the Ayyubid Sultanate meet the borders of Persia at Zagros. The Shah is a formidable foe, but could also be a valuable ally. It is time to decide whether he will be our dearest friend or our mortal enemy.
	Though a long way from restoring the former borders of the Delhi Sultanate, our initial aspiration should be to secure a strong position in north India.
	Our first imperial priority should be to establish ourselves as the dominant power on Sumatra.
	Swabia's princes are not powerful enough to stand alone against the large territorial states. Only by banding together can we be strong.
	As final addition to the modernization of our nation, we must overhaul the old hierarchical systems of the state in favor of a structure which promotes merit and discourages from ranks thanks to birth.
	Yemen is splintered and weak. The time to exploit their weakness and usurp their lands draws near. Their wealth will serve our court.
	The newly conquered Tamil port cities of the Coromandel Coast have the potential to bring great profit to our nation. We are struggling to integrate the local trade guilds into the new order however. We must resolve these disputes before consolidating our rule over the south.
	The Tibetan Empire once stretched across the Tarim Basin and beyond. The nomadic peoples who have come to inhabit the region must accept our rule as we restore our ancient realm.
	Foolishly, the Russian Princes believe we are a relic of the past and have long since stopped paying us tribute. We will lay waste to their cities, take their wives, and burn their fields to remind them who rules the Steppe.
	We desire to exceed the accomplishments of all dynasties that have come before us. The boundaries of Qing must extend into Inner Asia and to the South, ruling over peoples that have never before known governance from Beijing.
	Nowhere is there a more terrible bastion of tyrannical autocracy than in Russia. It is time to strike the death blow to autocracy in Europe by marching into Moscow and deposing the Tsar.
	In 1236, the Livonian Brothers of the Sword was defeated by the Samogitians and their Semigallian allies. The remnants were incorporated into the Teutonic Order in 1237, which then eventually led to the creation of the Livonian Order. De jure, the Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order is our overlord, but de facto both our orders are more like autonomous allies than anything.\nThe wars between the Teutonic Order and Poland have shown that the Teutonic Knights are not as military competent as they used to be. It is time to help our brethren in Prussia through renewing our alliance with them - or by replacing their archaic administration with our own superior reign.
	The Theme System used to be our form of civilian and military governance. Due to the sudden decline in territory, the need for themes has been rendered non-existent. Let us restore this system for good.
	With the fall of the Byzantine Empire, our nation is the only state left to lay claim to the title of 'Third Rome'. Earned by royal marriage, the title still is nothing but a claim until we legitimize it in the eyes of the world by asserting control over the City of the World's Desire, Constantinople itself.
	The Russian state had laid claim to the title of 'Third Rome'. To legitimize this claim in the eyes of the world, we must control the City of the World's Desire, Constantinople itself.
	As our colonies grow in stature and influence, so too does the number of volunteers willing to make the treacherous journey to the West. Let us make this part of the world our own.
	Our relations with our southern neighbors in Dai Viet have been quite tumultuous over the last few decades. Their royalty broke away from the loving embrace of the Chinese Emperor. We must remind them, however we see fit, where their allegiance lies.
	As our campaign reaches further south into China, we must consider whether it would be easier, at least in the short term, to delegate rule in the region to the Ming governors who have defected to Qing. We must find some way to exploit the situation in the south.
