Pretty much what you'd expect an average communist to do.

Most average civilians work in labor, such as mining, gardening, manufacturing...

And every morning before the work shift begins, the people have to line up in shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the Unicarion flag, and sing the anthem. They proceed to work for a few hours, eat lunch, work some more, clock out, return home, and do whatever they want to do.

Women don't usually labor however. They usually are in government (politics), and usually run the state media, state government, and other things.

It's mostly a woman's society in Unicario.

Do EVERYTHING the government tells you to do. It is a complete totaltarianist government. No one is above the government (Except for large corporations) no matter what your gender, age, race, or anything else is.
I'll respond to a lot of titles, but I preferred to go by Forest.

Unless stated otherwise, I have disowned all of the posts, both in and out of character, that I made years ago. I would like to think that both my real, out-of-character behavior and my in-character role-playing skills have matured.

In the central area, the Northern and SOuthern forces have been clashing for a while now, so the majority of the day is work with gunshots and occasional missiles.

Zdrakeh is a Communist nation (Well, space empire) in a very small sense. It is classless because everyone gets paid the same,corporations are non existent, and most are drafted into our military at 18 until the age of 40 (Although Zdrakehns age differently then Humans, this is a rough equivalent. It is equal to 50 Zdrakehn years, and Zdrakehns live for 200 human years on average) but otherwise they are free. Some combine incomes and get multiple jobs to afford better furniture, housing, and entertainment (To prevent rioting, Zdrakehn Government has it's own district dedicated to providing the people with entertainment.)

Up at dawn for a breakfast of porridge and eggs from the hens, then out to work on the farm.
Saturdays and Sundays are traditionally non working days for farmers. the smell of Mr. Wello's fresh baked bread fills the air as you walk or cycle down to the post office and have a gossip about Mrs. Ros' new fling with a much younger man.
As the sun sets, it's a good time for that big evening meal, seeing as most people don't eat at lunch time. Pasta or Pizza are always good for the kids, and a nice salad for the dieters, then there's time for reading, chess or even a sing-a-long of old traditional songs, taught to you by your elderly grandmother. Father plays the ukulele, and mother puts on piano shows for the local WI.
Monday signals a return to farm labour, and school for the children. School normally runs from 8 until 12, with optional classes running in the afternoons. most children have to go home to help of course.
The weather is variable as in any country, but it's nice. Never to hot or too cold. Lots of rain though.

That was a typical day for a farmer's family i guess. that's not the only job of course.

There's no so-called "typical" day for any citizen, as there are different species, different backgrounds, different careers to choose from, and different places to live. Thus, there are no "typical" day for any one citizen.

For the average working adult on a work day (post conscription): Get up, shower/shave/wake up, make/have breakfast, go to work, work, light lunch, nap (maybe), more work, go home, spend time with spouse/family, do some housekeeping stuff, make/eat dinner, spend time with spouse/family, (if possessing kids:put kids to bed somewhere in here,) get ready to go to sleep, (maybe have sex with spouse somewhere in here,) and go to sleep.
Of course, just about half the population are unemployed homemakers, retired, attending school, or currently conscripted, so that's not that representative of the population. Of course, with a mean household size of 6 people, and a mean of 2.6 jobs per household (in an 6 person household, there are usually two or three working family members, and one or two looking after the house and kids/grandkids,) so that's not bad.

It depends on if you're a freeman or slave (kajira). Kajirae are expected to do anything their owners ask of them, and their owners have full right to punish them otherwise. Freemen tend to work, or, in some of the more militaristic tribes, go out and shoot their enemies.
