The Icarus program of Chloe Armstrong is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chloe Armstrong with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, avant-garde cinema, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.888 billion Chloe Armstrongians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icarus. The average income tax rate is 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Chloe Armstrongian economy, worth a remarkable 2,289 trillion Chloes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 88,439 Chloes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chloe Armstrong's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Stargate.

Chloe Armstrong is ranked 46,525^th in the world and 11^th in Stargate for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
