The Fear Inoculum of Tool is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maynard James Keenan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18.871 billion Toolians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.

The thriving Toolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,629 trillion tools a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 86,355 tools, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, and street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tool's national animal is the Maynard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tool is ranked 277,976^th in the world and 4^th in Tool for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.06 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
