The powerhouse Chronic and Violent IBSian economy, worth 20.9 trillion Procals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 76,527 Procals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The atmosphere in Chronic and Violent IBSian boardrooms is turning more gay, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chronic and Violent IBS's national animal is the New Guinea Worm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
