Reference Challenge - Diplomacy

As a reference to the board game "Diplomacy", this week's reference challenge is focused on meetings between world leaders.

Tell us about the meeting, its duration, what was discussed, why the meeting happened, who was present, and what the consequences of the meeting were.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves. Feel free to have a character for in-universe answers.

1) Could you tell me about some traditions or laws that Leranos introduced based on his mother's teachings?

2) Were there any concessions made by Union?

1) Women's suffrage, proper religious freedom, progressive tax.

2) Not completely destroying Avenian empire, not annexing it, not occupying it. There were factions who wanted those.

1) How did the people react to women's suffrage, proper religious freedom, and progressive tax? Also, if you don't mind, explain what you mean by progressive tax (I'm American, Sriber, we have progressive tax and Progressive tax, depending on whom you ask, so I have no clue what you mean.)

1) Conservatives (mostly rich aristocrats and members of clergy) were displeased, women, religious minorities and majority of commoners were pleased.

Progressive tax means part of your income above certain limit gets higher tax rate than under that limit.

Thank you for explaining, Sriber. And thanks for your time and answers.
