	Goal	Key
	The rule of the our ruler and the power of the are in stark contrast. Conflict between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians is inevitable.\nWe must make sure that our nation will prevail these trying times and come forth as a state of greater power and authority.
	Corn, beans and squash are the main food source for our community, and thus we have called them the “Three Sisters”, sustainers of life. Keeping a harmonious and peaceful nation will help our crops flourish.
	Bengal must establish a great empire, surpassing any in India or beyond. We must triumph over any who would oppose us.
	The commercial status of Italy does not seem so insurmountable anymore. By reforming our approach and preparing for the trades to come we will become an even stronger trading power.
	Slaves from Africa are sent to work on plantations in the New World. The products of this slave labor are then shipped back to Europe and sold for an outrageous profit. This is the Atlantic triangle trade, and we must dominate it.
	Our nation is formed by several petty kingdoms that alone are weak, but that working together can become a formidable threat for our enemies. We shall unify our people and conquer the world.
	The Triple Alliance of Tenochtitlan, Tetzcoco, and Tlacopan was the foundation of our Empire. By developing all those three cities, we can more effectively set out and conquer lands in order to gather more tribute.
	The liberties our society enjoys free our people to engage in some truly remarkable activities. Mercantile interests in particular owe some of their successes to our particular attitudes towards economic activities and the rights of the citizenry.
	The Tuareg have always lived in the desert areas north of us. It is time we expand ourselves towards that direction and bring them under our rule.
	The Ming are weak and ripe for invasion. We must gather our armies and defeat them on the battlefield before they have time to properly organize their forces.
	The Turkoman tribes pose a significant threat to our nation, and it is important that we find a solution to this problem as soon as possible. Our previous rulers have established a tradition of marrying Turkomen in exchange for military guarantees. Perhaps, we should consider seeking to resolve this problem via diplomacy, else we are left with military action as the only solution.
	The tysyatsky have been military leaders since the time of the Kievan Rus' who are now serving in judicial and commercial offices. They have been mostly abolished and replaced with the voyevodas in regard to the military and the namestnik for the government. However, some of our provinces still have tysyatsky active. It is time to end this outdated position once and for all.
	The southern lands have always been shrouded in mystery, who knows how many unthinkable riches may lay there? We must explore those lands if we are to exploit them.
	Universities are places of knowledge and of learning. As such they are of great importance for the technological advancment of any country as the bright ideas come from universities in general.\nHowever, the establishment of such institution needs the official permission of those who are well versed in the literacy already - the. We will have to appease them in order to build a university which accelerates our technological progress.
	The Varangian Guard was an elite unit within our military. Initially comprised of Viking mercenaries, it would later be reinforced by Anglo-Saxons. The unit would get integrated into the greater society and would cease to exist as a separate regiment. Many were claiming to be Varangians in the 1400s. It is time to restore this famous unit and modernize it.
	Our capital of our capital must flourish and become a city of music and high culture, worthy of a ruler of our standing and a true capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
	Our capital of Wien must flourish and become a city of music and high culture, worthy of a ruler of our standing and a true capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
	The Vladislav Hall is the largest hall of the Prague Castle, used for various public events, receptions, coronations, and even knight tournaments. Maintaining the grandeur of the Vladislav Hall is a testament to our nation's glory.
	Vodka is a cheap product which can be brewed in a large quantity. It is of great benefit to the state to establish a monopoly over this beverage as it is both a secure source of income and an easy way to control the masses.
	The remença peasants have risen up against the Catalan nobility, after centuries of growing seignorial abuses, organizing themselves through the 'Sindicat Remença'. Now it is our duty to pacify the country and sew up the wounds of this conflict between peasants and nobles.
	Our home region is not only a place for the our, but other tribes as well. Although we share certain similarities and live very close, our cultures still differ quite substantially. Two of these cultures are even seen as a threat to our borders, which are the raiding Yaka and the militarized Mbangala. We should subjugate them quickly before they get any chance to become a serious problem.
	In times of war and particularly when facing a stronger foe, we must use every available man, regardless of their moral compass, to achieve victory. Various privateering crews that would normally cause us trouble, are now primed and ready to be unleashed upon our foes.
	If there's anything merchants of the Islamic world have accomplished, it's spreading their faith across Asia through trade. They are able to show our teachings by firstly introducing them to the new shores they land on, and then allowing the population to convert over time. We shall follow this tradition, so we can spread our faith to every corner of the world.

We shall follow this tradition, so we can spread our faith to every corner of the world.
	Although we had a history of trade with the Asians from the Far East, it is very unlikely that we can ever restore this old trade relationship. Yet we have no reason to be apprehensive. The wealth of the East Asian trade flows through India and eventually reaches the Gulf of Hormuz and the Gulf of Aden. While Hormuz might be too far, the Gulf of Aden could be in our reach. All we have to do is to... liberate the coast of the Horn of Africa.
	The riches of Italy make her a prized target for those looking to expand their power. In our hands, it would facilitate our rise towards becoming one of the great powers of Europe.
	As the French eye up expansion into Germany, our location makes likely to be one of their first targets. We must assert our superiority and ensure that we - and the Empire - are safe from attacks from the west.
	With the rise of a gunpowder empire in the west, it is very clear that they seek our destruction. We must prepare the mountain cities on our western frontiers for the incoming invasions.
	To the West lies a large ocean that stands guard between us and untold wealth. We must cross and charter the great seas in an effort to understand the world around us.
	It's time for our great nation to shed the attire of a modest domain of provinces and unleash our great might upon the unsuspecting giants of the old continent. Tales of our military might will be born from our many campaigns to come.
	As our empire grows so grows the importance of our capital. It is apparent that the city no longer serves as the heart of our realm but also as the center of the world's trade. We must make sure that we are its greatest beneficiary.
	A fight has two components to it: your skills with gun and blade, and your mental ability to confuse your enemy. We already are masters of shooting and stabbing, but our crewmates certainly need training in the high art of insulting. The port of Tortuga shall be our training field so our swashbucklers know every verbal counter.
	The Yoruba and the Nupe are right next door, and a perfect target for our expansion. We must conquer them to establish a firm position from which to expand further later.
	The Yucatan Maya polities are at the height of their power. The Terminal Classic period has seen many inland societies migrate to the coast, forging cities in the North. Though Mayapan has collapsed, it's likely this region will birth a new hegemon.
	The Inca had an elaborate network of shrines dedicated to their gods radiating out of Cuzco in lines. This network of Huaca shrines would earn the name of Zeq'e System.
	The Reformation is in full swing in Europe, and religious questions become more and more of great importance for the state. We must make our stand in a world divided by a religious schism.
	The world as we know it is changing. Christianity is experiencing one of the greatest schisms in form of the Reformation, and it is unknown what the future holds for our religion. We must pick a side in the Reformation!
	Levantine trade has long been a source of wealth for us, but discoveries have revealed an even richer land to us: India. If we could secure a toehold in this rich land to the east, our merchants could become wealthy beyond imagination.

	The neighboring kingdoms of Poland and Bohemia have a history of close relations, but also of border conflicts. In recent decades, the Hussite uprising has been key in regional politics. Now we have the chance to solve this entrenched problem, either by offering a Jagiellon for the Bohemian throne, or by trying to crush the Hussites once and for all.
	The Neapolitan succession is a complex and contentious matter. Naples itself aspires to independence, but both France and the Iberian princes also stake a claim to it. This matter must be put to rest.
	The great city of Constantinople has been captured by heathen forces, an event that has brought shame and disgrace upon the illustrious legacy of the Romans. It is our sacred duty to embark on a holy mission to free this precious jewel of the Christian world from its oppressors and, under our governance, to revive its past splendor. With a Georgian Emperor on the Roman Throne, Constantinople shall be restored to its rightful place of glory and magnificence.
	We have achieved greatness in times of both peace and war, times of hardship and ease. The final step to fulfill the destiny that has been gifted to us is to reach total reliability.
	Ceylon is the most sacred place in Theravada Buddhism and of great importance to our monastic traditions.
	The English are in an envious position to make wealth from trade. We should either make joint cause with them or challenge their nascent commercial empire before it is too late.
	The Komnenos in Trebizond were our old allies decades ago. They were the rulers of Gothia, yet our merchant family was able to slowly emerge as a player in the Black Sea politics. Now that their realm is in decline, it is perhaps time the roles are reversed.
	In the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade, the Latins have gained footholds in the Black Sea and have been dominating its trading naval routes ever since. If we are to rid ourselves of their negative influence, we must either make them our allies or banish them from the region for good.
	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.
