Why would anyone need a strategic maple syrup reserve o_O?
The stakes are high because maple syrup is a big and very profitable business: oil sells for US$55 a barrel; maple syrup fetches US$1,200 a barrel.

There's a maple syrup cartel. Maple syrup is serious business.

The FPAQ maintains a strategic reserve of maple syrup, officially known as the International Strategic Reserve (ISR) and also referred to as the Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve. The reserve is operated as a government-sanctioned cartel to control global maple syrup prices and supply, and has been called "the OPEC of the maple syrup world" by The Economist.[7][8] A barrel is worth about $1,200 or $2.88 per pound which is 10-18 times the value of U.S. crude oil.[6][9]
Friendly non-sarcastic advice: don't ever say that in public.Some say he was the greatest Greek of all time
Kemal Atatürk was from Tessaloniki and it feels weird to say that

Or get into the prediction games and drop "Future Yugoslavia Republic of...".I prefer to call it "the former former yugoslav republic of", tbh.
