General Notes: Each Order and Primacy has a set
of goals that determine its course of action. If the Order or Primacy is an NPN
it will act according to these goals. Player run Orders or Primacies will be
free to pursue their own goals but may find that if their actions are at odds
with their goals schisms may occur. A goal can be changed by any nation with
influence in the Order or Primacy by running the Request Aid From X action. The
relative strength of a goal is shown after its description, the lower the
strength, the easier it is to change.
