Officially it's 18. But there are some who demand it to be lowered to 14 for female because their breasts started to give milk at that age (even without pregnancy)

[*]Get married: 18
[*]Join the military: 18 (The military is only about defence not invading other countries. Children would be forced to fight if the country was under serious threat of invasion)
[*]Age of consent: 18
[*]Buy/drink alcohol: No age limit. Children spending money on alcohol is considered a good thing because it helps the economy.
[*]Buy/use marijuana: No age limit. See Above
[*]Buy/use any other drugs: No age limit. See Above
[*]Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws: 18
[*]Become leader of your country: 18. There's never been a child Great Leader. If it happened the closest adult would supervise the Great Leader and advise him/her until the age of 18, when he/she would have sole power, and if he/she thought the closest adult had messed things up the Great Leader could have him/her put to death. So the closest adult is sure to want to make the Great Leaders wished known even if he/she is just a child.
