Citizens

Citizens are an en-mass of individuals conglomerated into the majority of Combine controlled territories within major population centres. Many citizens live in a constant state of suppression and fear, but are ultimately kept safe from the hazards that are outside of Union territory. They are the backbone of the surviving human population on the planet. Much of the current citizen population worldwide are herded into overcrowded state apartments and are appropriately documented. Their daily routines are usually that of taking part in long work days that can be attributed to slave-like conditions.

They are fed and maintained through ration distribution terminals within the local precinct they are contained within. This is so that the population falls in line with the Universal Union's governing body while Civil Protection ultimately keeps watch on every citizen in their vicinity. Life for them is usually difficult in the making as it is increasingly difficult to keep out of prying twenty-four-hours surveillance webs initiated by Combine proxy forces.

They are often relocated around the globe through major relocation movements as to keep the citizen populations disconnected from previous comforts and luxuries prescribed by the old world. Often these relocation programmes for many citizens can occur in the dozens in their lifetime, with some of them being relocated to potentially up to three times a year or more.
