At the end of each month the council assigns a grade. This grade has no effect on the game, it mostly shows how quickly the player is progressing through the main questline, but it can be used as a relative reflection of how a player is doing versus another campaign that would eventually pass the game.

	Grades start out at '''C''' and, ~~depending upon XCOM's success~~, can ~~move up to '''A+''' and down to '''F'''.~~		Grades start out at '''C''' and, but if it drops lower, it can indicate the player is unlikely to pass the campaign and is doing quite poorly.

	~~A grade of '''A+''' means the player is likely to pass the campaign and is doing quite well. Conversely, a grade of '''F''' means~~ the player is unlikely to pass the campaign and is doing quite poorly.

	~~Every few days the~~ council will ~~offer~~ a ~~trade~~. ~~They~~ will ~~ask for some resource in exchange for another resource~~.		The council will make a request every 5-10 days. Most items can be requested, including items XCOM does not currently have and items XCOM has never seen. Harder to acquire items will usually be accompanied by more generous rewards, but not all offers are worth taking and not every time.

	~~Fulfilling these requests~~ will ~~grant~~ the ~~council~~ country ~~extra~~ defense (~~seen as an empty shield filling up~~).		Each request fulfilled increases a country defense by 10 (as indicated with the little shield icon beside the country name in situation room). Countries with more defense are able to offer more generous rewards for fulfilling council request. Sometimes, if a country defense is high enough, the council nation will offer XCOM a donation to help in their efforts against the alien threat or will [[Air_Combat_(LWR)#Country_Air_Forces\|send its air force]] to assist in a UFO interception. As well, country defense reduces the amount of [[Country_Panic_(LWR)#Increasing_Country_Panic\|panic increase]] alien activity causes.
