The Blissful Sound of Purring is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.965 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Feline Contentment. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government seizes all major gold finds, Purring's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Feline Contentment Times is sold out, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown. Purring's national animal is the tabby cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the headbutt.

Purring is ranked 2nd in Kittens Sanctuary and 17,862nd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 18 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
