	Perhaps our most trustworthy yet untrustworthy partners would be the Timurids, which aided us in the past. Now however their realm is splintered, and perhaps we can act pull some strings behind their backs in order to gain control of the Timurid Empire.
	The Timurid Diwan is split into two chambers. One is based on the efficient use of land, tax farming, and general administration. Whereas the other is handling all matters military. The former is also notably dominated by Persian Nobles, while the latter originates from the tribes.
	Despite all odds being against us and the potential instability, we have managed to weather the storm and turn this ruinous fate around. It is time to forge an empire as famous as the one by Genghis Khan. After all, we are the 'Gurkani', the 'Sons-in-law' to the great Khan.
	Under the late Timurid Empire, all forms of culture have experienced a true rebirth. Under the patronage of rulers and many influential nobles, many artists and architects could spread their wings in Herat and in other illustrious courts. The elites too, have started producing works in the Persian and Uzbek languages, furthering the era of culture.
	The Rhine River once used to constitute a natural border between Rome and the Germanic tribes. Let us restore this boundary and protect this limes until we are ready to subdue the lands beyond.
	The ancient kingdoms of the east crumble under the weight of history. Their greatest cities in ruins, the people of south-east Asia yearn for stable governance, which only we can provide. We must advance to the shining sea of the Pacific, uniting all of the peoples along the way.
	While sword, bow, and horse are staples of our military might, it is clear that new technologies in the arts of war are arising. The neighboring powers are already adopting these new weapons such as the musket to subjugate those who cannot or will not go with the time.\nWe must create a military branch which focuses on the combat with the musket.
	Mere decades ago, back during the life of Timur, those lands in the western steppe were disunited. But then came Tokhtamysh, whose ambition, coupled with Timur's assistance, allowed him to unite the lands of the Golden Horde. Eventually, though, he turned against Timur and had to face the consequences of his actions. Since then, no Khan could've come close to what Tokhtamysh achieved with Timur's help. Let us consolidate our hold over this region.
	Made up of many religions and even more cultures, it is imperative that the Mughal Empire remains tolerant to them all. To be permissive of other rites may not be in favor of the Ulema but it would be in favor of our growth and survival.
	We have decided to let our rural people keep practicing their traditional religion. However the upper class of our realm is not too keen on it. We need to increase our public tolerance of the old traditions and reduce the power the the clergy has over our our nation.
	Abdullah Ansari was a famous Hanbali Sufi whose shrine in Herat has become an important religious center during the Timurid rule. Let us forever cherish his legacy.
	Tonga is the most powerful nation in the Pacific Triangle, but some islands seem to have forgotten their place in the hierarchy. We have to remind these nations that we expect a tribute from them. Samoa is the first place we have to control, as it is the traditional cultural center of the Pacific.
	The Polynesian Triangle knows of no other bigger power than ours. Ours is the glory!
	The treacherous state of Mamluks, a powerful Egyptian rule under the rule of the Circassian Mamluks, is continuosly encroaching on our Arabian Holdings, trying to hold onto the control over the Holy Cities. Let us deal a striking blow to their armies and expel them from Egypt as well.
	Toulon is an ideal location for the construction of a grand new naval dockyard and arsenal. From Toulon our fleet will dominate the Mediterranean!

	Our lands and surrounding ones are full of resources that other nations desire. We can definitely make their wishes come true. For a price, of course.
	In Nusantara the success of an empire is measured in its ability to control trade.
	Kingdoms ascend to empires through conquest and bloodshed. While it is profitable in its own right, it is not as sophisticated as our ways to project power. Our our nation shall be known in this world as the Trade Empire of Europe, which controls the flow of the Ducat.
	Now that we know about the trading practices in Europe, we can look at ours and improve them where we feel they fail. We shall use these new and better techniques to become the dominant trader in our region.
	The Bab al-Mandeb strait is a close trading choke point that needs to be controlled by our nation should we want to become a big trading nation. We do not need to conquer like crazy, just hold the proper provinces.
	The incoming trade volume in the markets of Basrah would certainly make for a valuable addition to our treasuries!
	The riches of the Orient lie untapped by European merchants. We must rush to exploit this new source of wealth. Set sail to Cathay!
	The Indian subcontinent is a treasure filled with extravagant goods and invaluable materials. It goes without saying that the trade opportunities in India are plentiful and simultaneously lucrative.
	The Ivory Coast is vital for any merchants who bring riches from Asia. By securing the lands there, we can further increase our trade flow from Asia to Europe.
	Having reclaimed much of the west, we must know our limits and proceed to solidify our rule in those territories. Moreover, let us restore the tarnished trade routes, interrupted by the many years of conflict in the area.
	Thessaloniki would for a long time remain the secondary capital for the empire, fulfilling both political and maritime functions. Let us restore the city to its former glories!
	There are a lot of places in the North and West in which the flow of trade is remarkable. We must own those places and take control of the trade ourselves.
	The Baltic trade is profitable to us, yes. But compared to the riches of the Lübeck market, the Baltic Sea seems rather lackluster. We should start establishing our own presence in the Lübeck trade, and transfer some of its Ducats into our own pockets.
	The Straits of Malacca shall become far more than one stop along the maritime Silk Road. We shall make our homeland into the very center of global commerce.
	Our traders have found it more and more troublesome to sell their wares in Tangiers and have turned to us in hope of a solution. 'Grab Tangiers', they say, 'Take it and let us build a stronger trade empire than ever!'
	Our nation would benefit from controlling the trade in Tunis, giving us a greater say in the trading in the Mediterranean.
	China is a vast nation that is seemingly so abundant in resources that it needs no trade with the wider world. It will be difficult to convince Chinese rulers that our merchant ventures can be of value to them, but the potential rewards can hardly be understated.
	The Far East is the source of immeasurable riches of legend. We must have a strong trade presence there if we are to take part in them.
	The region of India is full of riches untapped by any of our neighbors. If we managed to establish a trading presence there we might be able to reap unthinkable benefits.
	India is known much for its wealth. To further expand trade with this region would only stand to benefit our coffers.
	Suspicious of all strangers, the feudal rulers of Japan are reluctant to allow any merchants the right trade or even land in Japanese ports. We must find a way to overcome their suspicions and become the only European power with a foothold in this exclusive market.
	After India, we should expand ourselves into the markets of Java. Doing so would allow us to control the trade coming from the Spice Islands, and the benefits would be unmeasurable.
	After the Indian market, the next logical step is to tap into the Chinese one. From there we can obtain riches and goods even more exotic and profitable than before. We must also establish ourselves there.
	Trade has always been prominent in our area, especially that led by the Muslims through Timbuktu and Gao. We must not fall behind them if we are to profit, we need to also be active participants in the trade flow and be able to control it.
	The battle for dominance over the Ohio fur trade cannot be won through military force alone. We must establish a trading relationship with the Native Americans living in the region to secure the interests of the our treasury.
	We may be numerous, but the overseas invaders have brought with them a number of unknown weaponry that they plan to use against us. Whilst we cannot prevent them from using those new weapons, we can at the very least capture some of them and adopt them into our army.
	Trading with gold is easy, it's value is indisputable. The only thing worth it's weight in gold is gold.
	As nations within core of Islam, many scholars here nurture a more traditional approach to Islam, tending to focus on the Quran and the Hadith, rejecting the practices of Sufi lodges and paying little heed to islamic jurist's judgements.
	The Renaissance has made Italy the centerpiece of Europe with every nation trailing behind experiencing rebirths of their own. Let Italian arts be reborn again so as to bring forth a new age where the human mind will be enlightened.
	If we are to survive and defeat anyone that dares oppose us, we can't do it with a rabble that can barely distinguish the pointy end of the spear from the other. We need to turn them into an actual army.
	The Cawa are the feudal noble class of our realm. These professional soldiers, once originally appointed by the Negusa Nagast himself, serve as the backbone of our military and ensure the peace in our remote provinces.\nStill, there is always room for improvement. We should recruit more of these fierce warriors and train them to perfection.
	The Janissaries were formed during the reign of Murad I in 1365 and were recruited from the strongest sons of our Christian subjects. Every five years, the loyal servants of the Sultan scour our realm to find these sons and take them for the Janissary corps. The time of a new wave of recruits is near once again.
	The samurai are the life and blood of our forces. We must further train them so that no other country stands a chance to oppose us.
