Daily life in your nation

[Brivaria]

What is the daily life like in your nation, what if someon likely to do after work on a regular day? Do they have to worry about crime, or about being shook down by police? Is it crowded or do people just want to get home?

[The English Regions]

The average citizen of the English Regions will usually finish work between 4:30 in some states to 7 in others. They will often take public transport or their own personal vehicle back home, although they will often stop for a coffee or maybe an evening class. Also in the summer, it isn't uncommon who workers to cycle home or go to the park with family and friends. The usual dinner in most states in rather Mediterranean, while in the south it is more rice and noodle heavy, whereas in the north it can be quite Scandinavian, for example heavy in fish and meat. Due to high levels of political engagement, once a week or two it is not uncommon for a large percentage (60% to 75%) to attend a general meeting at work, discussing future plans and activities, or a community or group meeting on local issues and policy.

It's a bit like the USA.

3:00/ here your neighbor getting abducted by the Secret Police.
3:01/sleep once more.

Repeat until death.

[New Ridgewood]

It's a bit like the USA.

Same.

[Gilnneas]

The average life of the Gilnnean citizen is pretty good actually. Most people work job hours from around 9am to 3pm. For children, school starts at 10am and they get off at 2:30. Thanks to the large city sizes, low population density and big roads (the biggest in the capital city of Muscova is a 24-lane blvd.), people get to work quickly and without traffic. The low traffic rate is also helped by people who opt to use public transportation. In labour jobs, lunch time is at 12:00pm and they resume work at 12:30. The Militsiya forces have the freedom to take a lunch break whenever they see fit. In the military, lunch is usually around 11:30. Our low crime rate allows Gilnnean citizens, including children, to walk alone from point A to point B, usually without the fear of getting robbed. The police can regularly be seen but they will not bother you unless you commit a crime. Most people go home after work for a couple of hours, then usually go out again for an extracurricular activity, usually sports. Kids hang out with their friends for the most part, and don't usually get home until after their extracurricular activity is finished. Children tend to go to bed around 11 - 12 o'clock at night so they get their full 8 hours of sleep before school.

This is all in Eporuvian Gilnneas, in Serberia, where the farmlands are located, the lifestyle is much different. Farmers are some of the hardest working people in Gilnneas, with some farms working 18 hours a day to produce food and such for the rest of Gilnneas.

In the Far-East, it is much the same as Eporuvian Gilnneas, except that the city sizes are smaller and there are occasional traffic problems.

[Russels Orbiting Teapot]

Before I launch into this, it would be useful for you to know that Russel's Orbital Teapot, known colloquially as 'The Teapot', is a large, mostly spherical space station in an eliptical orbit around the sun, in the vague shape of a teapot.

The average Teapottian gets up after about four-five hours of sleep, reduced due to ubiqutious biological implants and optimization of the functions of the brain. They would generally find themselves in their cramped personal quarters (generally a 10x10x10 room, sometimes smaller) which are attached to the shared space of their Voluntary Collective (VC). Frequently they will tune into the Steam network through their viewers (which are sometimes visible, like a pair of glasses or shades, but more and more frequently are invisible contact lenses or even implants) and catch up to date on the news, check in with their friends all over the station, and often spend an hour or two in a netgame before they grow restless enough to roll out of their bed.

Some citizens never get past this stage.

After greeting the other members of their collective and having their breakfast printed for them, they'll get started on one of the Collective Projects and get at least a productive hour or two in before they inevitably break off to pursue personal endeavors, like personal pet projects, general socializing, romantic relationships, or more netgames.


A VC shared space might look somewhat like this!

It's fairly common to leave the VC space for at least a few hours in the middle of the day for lunch, and many collectives exist as a variety of restaurants in which lunch can be enjoyed, such as The Missing Link, where the meats of creatures whose remains have never been discovered, but the fossil record shows must have existed, can be served, their genome probabilistically extrapolated from known species. Lunch is a favorite time to catch up with old friends and family outside of your collective.

From here, many are pulled back into their collective projects, in an attempt to eke a bit more focus out of them before dinner. Collective projects usually include things like upgrades to the VCs shared space and work on collective virtual spaces, but often will expand beyond that, to creative or engineering projects intended to improve life for everyone living in the teapot. Many collectives are assembled around the creation of such projects, but just as many if not more are just groups of people that find each other easy to live with. Participation in collective tasks is rewarded with collective rep, and collectives earn station rep for service to the station at large. Keeping up to date on the TeaHouse social network is done so reflexively that most people don't even think about it.


Most servers are robots, as few teapottians willing to do manual labor can be found, but if you're personable enough it is a good source of constant rep.

After dinner it is often impossible to get the majority of Teapottians to focus on collective tasks, leaving them to those few dedicated individuals who make the collective their pet project. Instead, many focus on the nightlife, going to one or several of a variety of clubs, bars, or gaming arcades to hang out, socialize, and show off their latest projects or their newest body modifications to their peers.


Physical socializing is old fashioned, but still fairly popular and encouraged by most community leaders.

Eventually going home, most Teapottians will relax in their quarters or their shared space while playing netgames or working on their projects until sleep finally claims them.

Simple: Wake up, eat breakfast while being blasted with propaganda from the radio, go to the factories or mines or any other workplace, work with no pay while still being blasted with propaganda, go home, watch friends or loved ones or complete strangers get captured by the secret police, eat dinner, sleep, repeat.

---

Wake up at six in the morning, take a nice stretch and then proceed to the bathroom. Take a nice, warm shower, then walk outside, dry yourself and then brush your teeth. After that, go get change and then go outside the bedroom and have breakfast made by your wife/girlfriend/self. After enjoying your breakfast (either donuts, toasts, cereals, beef dumplings, etc), you leave your apartment and walk outside, heading towards the entrance to an underground Heping Metro station. After arriving in the station, you wait for the next train, which arrives 90 seconds later. You board the train and head towards your destination.

Arriving to your destination, you exit the train, leave the station you just arrive, and then you take a walk towards the office building you work in. As you arrive in the entrance, your bureaucratic, financially-conservative boss tells you to hurry up and "work hard for your Motherland" while your left-wing, cultural-marxist "friend" walks up to you and whispers "don't listen to that bureaucratic pig" in your right ear.

As your arrive in your cubicle, you smash your hands towards the desk, starting a very long and boring sequences of work, work, and more work. While the cultural-marxist rants and the boss swims in piles of money, you work hard so that you can earn some pay and move the day quicker. As you're about to type into the computer, that attractive receptionist you keep staring at just stared and winked at you. You sit still for about a minute until your boss shouts "stop staring and start working!"

So, it's eight o'clock and you're quite tired. You did your job well but your patience is running low. You quickly leave the building and head towards the Heping Metro. You board the train and sit down, then seconds later, you fall asleep. Too bad you won't notice two female sixteen-year-old high-school students taking a picture of you sleeping in a very embarrassing position.

As the train stops, you fall off the seat and wake up. You then leave the train and walk towards your apartment. As you unlock and open your door, your wife runs towards you and hugs you tightly, which makes you feel calm. After having dinner, you brush your teeth and go to bed.

[The Great Nation of Dan]

The average life varies greatly from person to person however it doesn't change from at all depending on gender and varies very little past the age of 15 and is often very similar starting from the age of 12.

Will edit to add more...

In that same message, it said that it doesn't qualify as an "X in your nation thread" if the OP expands on it, which the operator in question did:

What is the daily life like in your nation, what if someone likely to do after work on a regular day? Do they have to worry about crime, or about being shook down by police? Is it crowded or do people just want to get home?

It isn't a one liner.

The same as USA.

[Maldovania]

Similar to Germany

[New DeCapito]

A bit like France, with a siesta from 12 to 2 (called a 'arreta').

[Crumb-Cashew]

A report by Crumb-Cashew citizen Cecil Cannellini when asked about Daily Schedule:

Here's a little background information about me. I have a wife, Briciola Cannellini, and a child, Grano Cannellini. I'm a car salesman, and earn an income of Cotturas that are sustainable enough to give me my house, my family, my high-class car, and my freedom in my country.

In the morning, I wake up in my own home. It's very similar to the other houses in the neighborhood, as most Crumbs seem to have a similar color palette and creative style. Unusual, but true. My alarm wakes me up, and I usually am the one to bring Grano to school in my car and then drive over to my workplace, Cannellini Cars. Now, for foreigners unaware of the Crumb-Cashew naming system, your town name is your surname. For example, I live in the city of Cannellini. Residents of towns who plan to leave the town and move to another one keep their last name. If you are born in a town your parents do not live in, you use your parents' surname.
Anyway, I go to my workplace. Briciola will call me from home when she is settled in. My workplace is very ideal. I have very warm, philosophical colleagues. As a people, we are generally cynical of tourists, though. We sell cars to other Crumbs, and export other cars to separate countries. For instance, a neighboring country with a weak car production industry receives regular imports from us. I am a manager of the company and help oversee these exports.
I usually go home to eat lunch. Often times, I will cook it for Briciola and I. She's not a very enthusiastic cook, but that is fine with me. After lunch, I will go back to my workplace to work for another 3-4 hours or so, depending on traffic!
Often times, I am finished with my work at a time where I will pick up Grano from school. He will go home and change from his school uniform and complete his homework if he has any.
After this, I stay at home and enjoy the time with my family. Occasionally, a colleague will come in, or a surveyor, or even a friendly policeman just to check on things. Crumb-Cashew policeman are very warm and helpful to citizens, but are the worst disciplinarians ever when it comes to the criminals. Luckily, crime is literally unknown in Crumb-Cashew.
Briciola has recently become glued to the new white computer we just bought. It is even more advanced than a TV. My abstract-thinking brain could have never dreamed up such an object! Briciola plays solitaire on the computer. Me, I'm not a fan of such card games.
When dinner comes around, Briciola and I will make it together. Grano often helps, as he is very mature around the kitchen. We will sit around the table together and maybe have a philosophical discussion, or maybe something simple like a review of the day. It varies every day.
Sometimes after dinner, I will go visit the grocery store or another store nearby to spend a few Cotturas and a new ingredient, toy, or product we can use for the week. Unfortunately for me, lots of Crumbs do this, so the shops are generally crowded.
After this, at around 1.8 (8:00 PM for those unfamiliar with the CMB Scale), we will all go to bed. We may say a prayer before sleep, and always lock everything in the house except for the fireplace. The next morning, this will start all over again.
