	Our aspirations are greater than any mere daimyo's. It is our duty, our destiny, to reach the highest levels of power in the land.

	The lands of Estonia, Livonia and Curonia are influential parts of the Baltics, but they are also a metaphorical window to the east as trade from the east flows through them.\nThe Estonian and Latvian might not want to admit it, but they are completely helpless against the Russians to their east. We should integrate them into our realm so we can protect them from the East.

	Our strong ties with the cities of Wismar and Rostock have not prevented them from obeying the will of the Dukes of Mecklenburg, even against our own interests. We have allowed their intransigence to go on for far too long. It is time for us to impose greater control over them.
	The Ottoman Turks pose the greatest threat to our independence. We must build an army to withstand them and rule a powerful realm that will stand as a Bulwark against the Turkish threat.
	We must establish a center of learning where we can train the theologians, jurists and medics of the future, and attract the leading minds of Germany to serve the our nation.
	The first attempts to spread the Christian religion in Sweden began in the 9th century. The first two times, the petty missionaries failed to divert us from Odin's glory.\nEventually though, the missionaries found a king who was willing to sell his place in Valhalla in his pursuit of power. King Olof Skötkonung got himself baptized in Husaby. He tried to destroy the sacred Temple at Uppsala, but his own people - the ones who stayed true to the Norse ways - resisted him.\nOne century later, King Inge the Elder managed to destroy the temple and left nothing but rubble. With that, the full Christianization of Sweden was only a question of time.\nAs we have finally returned to our Norse legacy, it is time to restore the religious temples and buildings for the glory of our Gods.
	Our houses are made of young saplings and woven mats or bark. Making sure our village has enough room for growth will attract more people and result in a rich and prosperous society.
	The Gulf of Aden is a very wealthy trade route. If we can expand into Yemen, we could control a significant portion of the global trade in coffee and incense.
	The advent of printing and copying literary works in China is a revolutionary technique that permits the spread and preservation of knowledge. By improving upon the techniques of our forefathers we may succeed in spreading the Yongle Emperor's grandest encyclopedic work, encompassing hundreds of volumes of knowledge.

	The Levy system organized by the Hansa calls all able-bodied peasants across our Trade League's forces. To protect the Republics and our fellow members, to defend the people of our realms, march forth Men of Lübeck!
	Yucca palm trees are one of the few species that can survive this unrelenting weather. We are grateful for their presence and use their leaves to weave sandals and baskets. Controlling their natural habit will allow us to control their production.
	Just like the Sunni, the Zaidi recognize the importance of having a spiritual leader - Caliph. The Sunni Caliphs are not recognized though - indeed, the leaders of the Zaidi community took up the title of Caliphs - including the Rassid Imams in Yemen.
	While we do already inspire faith in our own populace, let us conquer the Holy Cities and proclaim our power to all. With such projection, many of faithful beyond our borders will flock, filling our cities with people ready to serve our state.
	The Upper Zambezi River is said to be rich in gold and ivory. We must control this source of wealth and protect it from imperialist powers.
	The strip of islands and coast across Southeastern Africa is rich with gold and valuables. Should we wish to extend our wealth and influence abroad, we must look to seize it.
	The coastal cities we have captured in East Africa put us in a position to dominate all trade along the Swahili coast.
	Through the work of the Muslim merchants, the word of Allah has spread to far to the southerneastern corners of Africa. That being said, the islamic foundations in the area are weak and only based around the trading patriciate. It is also clear the local sultans and chiefs are unwilling to spread the religion, so we must take matters into our hands.
	Not so long ago, an admiral from the far away nation of China visited our shores. Even today, there are descendants of the sailors of that fleet that stayed in our lands. Our nation is mighty now and we can visit them back. This will not only be a courtesy visit, but a way to ensure a constant supply of china for our realm.
	In the late 10th and early 11th centuries, the Ziyarid dynasty was the dominant power of Persia. Even though their reign was short-lived as foreign invaders claimed the state's territory, it is still a period of Mazandarani rule which marks Persia.\nWith our new rise to power, we shall claim the title of their successor.
	Taxes and tolls between brother states serve only to hamper collective growth. Let us form a customs union to integrate our brotherly nations into our state economically.
	Now that our religious and political position is secured the time has come to find kindred spirits in this dark world. Let us establish a Zoroastrian community where we can support each other in times of need.
	The Tatars may have been an enemy once, but one cannot deny their prowess in battle. Instead of eliminating them, perhaps we can use them in our society or in our ranks.
