Citizens

 are the oppressed human residents of the Combine's remaining urban centres.

With hardly any rights afforded to them, they are often moved without warning between cities, either to disrupt the formation of organised resistance groups or prevent citizens from becoming comfortable with their surroundings.

Daily life for citizens is designed carefully by the Combine to be hard. Lack of proper food, money, and rights is a real aspect. It's not rare to find a citizen relying on the minimal nutrients that the daily ration provides. Brand new arrivals will have to start at the lowest level of society. Minimal rations will be the only thing that will be given by the appropriate terminals. As citizens continue to provide for the city, they will gain higher tier rations which include more filling foods, and more tokens. This will be calculated by Documented Civic Deeds.

Documented Civic Deeds
In City, a citizen's social value is tallied by Documented Civic Deeds(DCD). These are earned through actions that contribute to the continued stability of the city, such as reporting threats to Civil Protection.

Workforce members can earn Documented Civic Deeds through gainful employment by attending daily work-shifts or seeking temporary work as Infestation Control.

Businesses
Citizens may also own businesses in order to sell items to fellow members of society. Any citizen can own a business provided they have the proper amount of tokens to afford it. There are many things that citizens will be able to sell including; much needed food and drink, clothing items, and Combine approved equipment(IE: Flashlights and Request Devices).

Work
Workshifts are used for the production, repair, and betterment of the city. All citizens must attend these shifts in the Combine's eyes to prove useful. All shifts operate from 1200-1600 sharp. Citizens in attendance will be granted a single Documented Civic Deed for their efforts.
