Office of Trade Communication

The Office of Trade Communication (OTC) is a government office operating within the Illuminatia Bureau of Commerce and Trade (BCT) responsible for regulating truthfulness and fairness in communications relating to goods and services. The OTC sets standards for accuracy and honesty in the communications that take place regarding products and services that are marketed or sold to consumers in Illuminatia.

The OTC enforces truth in advertising in Illuminatian mass media, including in broadcasting, periodicals such as newspapers, mailings, signage, packaging, and other communications that equate to marketing or conveying real or perceived facts, figures, claims, and other representations about products and services.

The OTC protects against misrepresentation, misinformation, deception, trickery, misdirection, mispackaging, shrinkflation, inflated figures and claims, and other potential problems that can arise out of the type of communication that can occur in unregulated and under-regulated economic systems.

The Office of Trade Communication, through the power of its parent agency, the BCT, has jurisdiction over all communications including marketing, labeling, and other documentation and communication of dimensions, qualities, statistics, claims, and promises about goods and services sold to personal end consumers, corporate customers, and the government itself.

The OTC delegates any authority over commercial trade and marketing usages of the Illuminatian identity to the BCT's Office of Illuminatian Identity (OII), which oversees commercial use of words and marks representing Illuminatia, the Neonisi planet, and the Lucidus mission.
