In most totalitarian regimes, the leader rules through intimidation and coercion. That intimidation often takes the form of torture and killing. It rarely, if ever results in economic prospertiy, so the masses are usually poor. Modern examples of totalitarian regimes are Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Kim Jong Il in North Korea, and Fidel Castro in Cuba.
For the citizens, they are usually poor, and live in fear of their own government. There is usually very limited freedom of speech, religion and press.

There is no such thing as citizen in a totalitarian regimes, there are subjects or even objects.
e.i.: to be a citizen you need to be aloud to have your say in the affairs of the community. You have to have a say in the "how we live together". There can't be such a thing in a totalitarian regime for in those regime your role is to serve rather than to act.
