Objectives

|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Colonial Power | Our first steps to establishing our hegemony should be to expand our borders overseas. We should amend our laws to allow us to colonize, in order to further our goals. | — | — | — |
| A Great Power | We have been a regional power, but now we should look to solidify our standing in the world and join the other Great Powers as a show of our might. | — | — | — |
| Achieve Sovereignty | As long as we are not recognized as an equal by the wider international community, foreign meddling in our domestic affairs will remain endemic. We should strive to stake out a place for ourselves at their table, so that our nation does not go the way of Old Chorasmia. | — | — | — |
| Acquire Manchurian Concessions | The region of Manchuria contains several areas which may serve as valuable warm-water ports. Acquiring treaty concessions and constructing railways in the region will immensely benefit our power projection in the Pacific Ocean. | — | — | — |
| African Colonies | Now that our laws allow us to establish our own colonies, we should look towards acquiring new lands on the African Continent as our first steps in expanding our hegemony. | — | — | — |
| An Egalitarian Society | Now that we have all the laws and institutions in place, we should look to making sure that we have an equal society that allows for equal opportunities for all our citizens.

Extending recognition to the Circassian state, and ensuring its continued existence, must be a priority of ours. | — | — | — |

| Communal Divides | "Is it possible that two nations—the Mahomedans and the Hindoos—could sit on the same throne and remain equal in power?" The history of Hindu-Muslim relations in India is both storied and complex, with episodes of collaboration and coexistence interwoven with ones of intolerance and cruelty. Nonetheless, for centuries, the two communities hobbled along under the auspices of their feudal masters. However, with the emergence of new, national identities and the increasing spread of ethno-religious nationalism, it is clear that the old ways must make way for the new. Few voices, however, agree upon what such new ways should entail. A nation in discord cannot hope to endure. In one way or another, unity must be achieved. The Two-Nation Theory Hinging on the belief neither Muslim nor Hindu can rule without oppressing the other, the so called two-nation theory has been gaining traction in recent years.
