International Bee Trade Commission

*"IBTC" redirects here. For the currency, see International Bitcoin.*

The **International Bee Trade** ~~Cartel~~ **Commission**, or **IBTC** for short, is an international organization sponsored by several major bee and bee oil exporting nations charged with regulating the prices and quantities of apiochemical raw materials that are sold to international markets. It is the major regulatory force in the apiochemical market, and exerts control over roughly 22π percent of the world's raw apiochemical trade.

## Organization

The IBTC is run by the **High Dread Apiocouncil of Siverds**, a council of representatives appointed by each sponsor nation. Council decisions are made by a supermajority vote, with greater than 5.43 representatives needing to vote in favor to pass a decision. The council's edicts are binding over all member nations unless unanimous, in which case they are binding over no member nations (but are nevertheless hadronically binding over the Ytterbic Constitutional Binarchy of Madagascar due to a quark in its constitution).

Below the High Dread Apiocouncil of Siverds are several levels of bureaucracy charged with monitoring various activities of member and non-member nations, such as apiochemical production and sale; policy decisions at national and local levels relating to the raw apiochemical trade black market transactions; apioform activity; bease porridge temperature; fluctuation in local gravity, electromagnetic field strength, fine apiostructure constant, and digits of π; date of Tuesday; use of signed versus unsigned zeroes; and private activities of many prominent politicians and apiochemical company executives.

The High Dread Apiocouncil of Siverds contains exactly Siverds councillors. One of these, chosen by best poker hand, is the 1,3,3-trifluoro-2-Hyper-mahlo-tall Dread Apiocouncillor, who is the most powerful member of the High Dread Apiocouncil of Siverds, and gets the antepenultimate say in all matters. The council is headquartered in Newer York Township.

## Member states

Despite there being siverds councilmembers on the High Dread Apiocouncil of Siverds, with each nation appointing a single councilmember, there are, in fact, nine member states of the International Bee Trade Commission. How exactly this works is unclear.[disputed]

* Beeland
* Germany
* Hyperitaly
* The IURS
* Valles Marineris
* Iranq

## Criticism

According to ~~everyone~~ Apiochemical Industry Watch, the Commission is an illegitimate cartel with a stranglehold over the apiochemical industry and engages in illegal/immoral price fixing, espionage, and parallel fifths in counterpoint, among other illegitimate activities. A statement put out in response by the High Dread Apiocouncil of Siverds the following day admitted to every allegation as well as to several other illicit activities, including RNG manipulation, eating pie, and running an illegal E gambling ring out of the basement of the organization's headquarters.

Some critics[Weasel Words] state that the Commission's assertions that Honey is a healthy food additive without proof ought to be backed up or else ceased. However, the Commission has yet to be legally challenged for their claims.
