	Goal	Key
	The division of the Romanian Voivodes serves only the interests of our enemies. We must put an end to our petty dynastic squabbles and unite the Voivodes.
	The lands of the von Welf family are divided. If we can unite Brunswick, Lüneburg and Hanover, our position as one of the most influential dynasties of Germany will be secured.
	The divisions of the House of Wittelsbach reach far beyond the borders of Bavaria. A branch of the Wittelsbach family has long been established in the Rhenish and Upper Palatinates, acquiring for itself the status of Elector, a position which the Bavarian Wittelsbachs are clearly more worthy of. It would only be right to reunite the families and - with a bit of persuasion to secure the Emperor's agreement - claim the Electorate for ourselves.
	The Wittelsbach family's holdings were divided in 1294, with the senior branch taking the Palatinate and the junior branch taking Bavaria. The unworthiness of the junior Wittelsbachs to hold such a fertile territory is plain from their failure to keep it united. We should exert our ancestral rights to these lands and seize them for ourselves.
	All Tibet must be united as one realm, under a single ruler. Only then can we achieve unity, and only then can we begin to dream of restoring Tibet's place in the world.
	The harsh drylands of Rajputana and the wealthy trading ports of Gujarat shall join our domain, its ruling Rajput nobility either incorporated into the state or crushed into irrelevance.
	Guge, Tsang, and Bhutan should not be disunited. These kingdoms must become one, under our enlightened leadership.
	Once we have subjugated all of Westphalia's rightful territory, it will be time to start conquering foreign lands and cultures and carve out our own empire!
	Sardinia might not be the wealthiest of territories, but the Kingdom of Sardinia is a well-established title. If we can claim the island - and its regnal title - then we will finally be able to legitimately count ourselves among the foremost realms of Europe.
	It has been decades since a powerful and centralized government ruled over Yemen. Let our dynasty be the ones to fulfill that noble purpose once and for all time to come. We shall parade through the streets of Taiz and let all faithful know of our triumph.
	The Duchy of Bavaria has been divided since the middle of the 14th century, when the sons of Ludwig IV, and later those of Stephan II, decided to formally split their inheritance. However, a divided Bavaria is weak and vulnerable to depredations of its stronger neighbors. We must unify our ancestral lands if we are to stand the test of time!
	We ought to seek to have our industrial centers interconnected and developed. Through such, we will become industrial behemoths and will dominate European commerce.
	By forging marriages with other tribes, we are strengthening our position for future expansions. Expansion can start with a marriage.

	The Rhenish-Palatinate is our ancestral birthright. It must be restored to its rightful owners.
	Hungary's territories are home to people of many different beliefs. One way or another, we must ensure that religious differences do not divide our state.
	Hungary's territories are home to people of many different beliefs. One way or another, we must ensure that religious differences do not divide our state.
	In the religious convulsions that tear apart Europe, only by standing united in defense of the our religion faith can the Bishop-Electors safeguard correct religious practice across the Empire.
	We Somali have always been a collection of different clans, who fight each other on several occassions. None of the tribal clans has the interest to unite our people, and these conceited Ajuuraan prefer to water their fields instead. It is up to us to unite the Somali and rally them against the Christian and Pagan threats.\nBut before that we need an official justification for war or else these clans will never submit.
	Whether we embrace a new faith or strengthen our ancient traditions, the Mongol people must achieve religious harmony.
	It is time for Spain to create a universal Catholic monarchy in Europe. To do so we must lay claim to the Imperial Throne of the Holy Roman Empire in perpetuity, abolishing the electors and making the succession hereditary.

	Places of higher education are the key to achieving great progress. Although we'd had universities in the past, there is currently none functional in Hungary. Let us concentrate our resources on opening a new one in our capital, so that it may become to pillar of knowledge and advancement in Hungary.
	our nation is home to the town of Uppsala - a place of great historical and religious importance. When our our nation got christianized, Uppsala became the seat of its archbishopric. As it is a place of the clergy it is important to build a proper university for the education of our people..\nThe city of our capital, on the other hand, might not have been a Swedish province for long, but it has a long history as a center of learning too. It houses a cathedral school - the Katedralskolan of our capital - which educated many members of the Danish clergy.\nWe should develop both cities and form institutions of knowledge.
	The University of Krakow was founded by King Casimir III 'the Great' and confirmed by Pope Urban V in 1364, becoming the first and foremost institution of its kind in our country. Its success in providing educated scholars to serve us throughout the ages encourages the expansion of the university, as reason is greather than force.
	Established in 1575, the University of Leiden stands as one of the oldest in the Netherlands, founded during a pivotal period of intellectual ferment and religious upheaval. Born from William of Orange's vision for a center of learning promoting religious tolerance and academic freedom, the university quickly gained renown for its commitment to scholarly excellence and innovation. Its early faculty included luminaries such as Justus Lipsius and Joseph Scaliger, attracting students from across Europe.
	The University of Vienna, established in 1365 by Duke Rudolph IV of Austria, emerged as a prominent center of learning from the 15th to the 18th centuries. Offering a broad spectrum of subjects including theology, philosophy, law, medicine, and the arts, it attracted scholars and students from across Europe.
	The Univerzita Karlova is one of the oldest universities in the world. We must ensure it remains a beacon of learning and culture in our nation.
	Our presence on the Italian mainland will always be tenuous as long as we do not hold the Alps, from which our enemies can rush down as they please and retreat back to when they need to be on the defensive. If we held the Alps near our lands, then we could rush down them as we please and retreat back to them when we need to be on the defensive.
	We have become strong enough to challenge the might of Ava. We shall launch a campaign along the Irrawaddy and subjugate the Burmans.
	Across the Arakanese mountains lies a land rich in minerals and precious stones. Upper Burma is also an inhospitable region, home to the warlike Shan people and fought over for centuries.\nHowever, such a source of rubies, greater than any other on earth, we could never resist.

	As India falls under our control, the continent is becoming more and more peaceful. The lack of conflict is allowing us to prosper more than ever, producing more food than ever before. With that, our population rises and more of the lower strata move into the cities, where more opportunities await them.
	It is time for our ruler to seize the throne of France for theirself. The former government must be destroyed utterly to make way for the new regime.
	The fate of Georgia is closely tied to King Vakhtang and his succession. Until we have a legitimate heir, the nobility and members of the Bagrationi dynasty will continue to vie for the throne.
	We have managed to attain both the means and the knowledge to produce silk, one of the most sought-after goods in Europe and typically acquired only through participation in the Silk Road, now controlled by our Muslim enemies. We must begin to produce our own silk and establish an exchange, the Llotja de la Seda, where it can be bought and sold for the benefit of our nation.

	The people of Hormuz have oppressed us over the decades, combating us and reducing our influence to that of inland Omani land. We must not let them be our twilight. We shall march forward and crush them once and for all.
	Without their naval superiority, the city of Venice is vulnerable. By incorporating it into our state, we will be able to permanently snuff out the threat the Venetians pose to our glorious our nation!
	The City of Novgorod was founded by the ancient Varangians of Scandinavia when they still followed the trade paths to the Byzantine Empire in the 8th century. Eventually, Novgorod became part of the East Slavic people and the old signs of Varangians vanished. But the city still is part of our ancient heritage and as such it is our right to reclaim it.
	The result of the battle of Varna, held on November 10, 1444, was a great defeat for Christianity, and furthermore, Poland also lost its king, Vladislav III. Now we have to resolve the succession crisis stemming from his death, rebuild our army, and try to secure the neighoboring lands of Hungary and Bohemia to face the Ottoman menace.
	We should not expand only through direct conquest. We should also subjugate other kingdoms and collect tribute from them.
	Both the Kingdoms of Castile and France cast envious eyes on the lands of Navarre. It would be disastrous to Aragon if these lands fell to either of them so we must be proactive.

	The people of Vaud and Wallis are discontent under the rule of their Savoyard masters. We must bring them liberty though inclusion in the Confederacy.
	We must ensure that our people have a thorough religious education, achievable through the propagation of Vedic literature in our native Odia language, and the establishment of new institutions of learning.
	Constantinople fell victim to a siege by the Catholics in 1204. Sacked by Crusaders, who were initially intending to battle Muslims to the east, they would later betray their ideals and turn their attention towards our city and with the support from the treacherous Venetians, the megalopolis would fall to their combined forces in April of that accursed year. The capture would lead to a period of sacking when an innumerable amount of riches and priceless icons were stolen from the Queen of Cities. The Fall of Constantinople led to the establishment of Latin Empire, whose rule was called frankokratia. That period, albeit short, would accelerate the decline and further weaken the empire.
	Venice is known for its trade fleets, its wealth, and its maritime traditions. By conquering their ports in the Italian mainland, we may be able to start creating a navy to dominate the Mediterranean.
	The Serene Republic of Venice is the most renowned and prestigious of Italian Merchant Cities. Though entering a period of stagnation, we can pull it together and make it our principal trade port.
