Citizen

Citizens are the players of Populus; each citizen is an account controlled by a real person, and each player is only allowed to have one citizen account at a time.

Citizen Abilities
Citizens can:

Economic Abilities

 * Work at any one company per day, provided it is located in their economic zone. This company may be their place of employment, or it may be a company they themselves own. Regardless of how many companies a citizen may own, however, they may only work once per day.
 * Hold a job, provided it is located in their economic zone. Citizens may hold no more than one job at any one time (excluding appointments to political office). It should also be noted that owning a company or companies does not preclude a citizen for working for a company owned by someone else.
 * Own companies; citizens may not own more than one company in the same industry, and may not own companies located outside their country of residence (unless it is originally located in their country, but in a different region, and that region is conquered by a different country).
 * Own stock; citizens may own stock in up to five corporations in their country of citizenship (again, excluding corporations whose home regions are originally within the citizen's country but are conquered by a different country).

Social Abilities

 * Own one newspaper, whose articles are published in the citizen's country of citizenship.

Political Abilities

 * Hold citizenship in a given country. Upon joining the game, citizens are automatically granted citizenship in their "birth" country (the country in which they choose to start the game). Citizens who move to a different country may apply for citizenship in that country; if their application is accepted, they will lose their previous citizenship and would need to re-apply for it in the future (even if the lost citizenship was of their birth country).
 * Join a political party based in their country of citizenship, regardless of current location.
 * Vote in the elections of their country of citizenship, regardless of current location. If their location is currently outside their country of citizenship, they will only be allowed to vote in nationwide elections.
 * Hold political office in their country of citizenship, provided they currently live in that country. If they move outside of their country of citizenship while in office, that office will be automatically resigned. However, if their region of residence is conquered, they will be moved to the capital region automatically.

Military Abilities

 * Exercise once per day. Exercising increases a citizen's power level, allowing them to do more damage on the battlefield.
 * Join a military unit in their country of citizenship, regardless of their current location.
 * Fight in as many battles (for their country of citizenship or its allies) per day as their health allows.
