After that, the discussion simply pivoted into the political and economic state of the Alliance.

So far, everything was moving smoothly.

The only aspect that was really suffering was education, but that was pretty natural during times of war. Besides, it wasn't like it particularly concerned the meeting, so not much emphasis was Placed on it.
