  • Drinking Alcohol- N/A, absolute Prohibition.
  • Driving- 18 for humans, 29 for turtles, 7 for mushrooms (mushrooms don't live as long).
  • Smoking- N/A, lumped into Prohibition in 2001.
  • Gambling- N/A - gambling was banned following eight year olds in casinos. However, Bingo and the Lottery are allowed in the Republic. Their ages are a universal 10.
  • Recreational Drugs- N/A, namely due to the large population of sentient mushrooms. No one wants to smoke one's cousin.
  • Voting- 24 for humans, 18 for turtles, 18 for mushrooms.

Drinking Alcohol - Consuption: 18 Buying: 21
Driving - 18, needs license
Gambling - 18
Sex- 15 but those over 18 can't have sex with those under 18 unless there is less then two years difference.
Smoking - illegal
Recreational Drugs - illegal
(However, the drug ban is being debated in the Imperial Senate at the moment, and an upheaval is most likely. In that case the age limit would be 18 for both.)

Livendans drive on the right side of the road.

Virtually everything is 18, but by and large it doesn't matter too much. Drinking and smoking are Vetalian rites of passage, and everything else the government doesn't care about too much unless it involves some sort of felonious activity. We drive on the right side.

I mean, the usual response for finding a kid drinking or smoking is "wait until you're 18" and then at that age their father (usually) will usually give them a symbolic first drink and smoke...these things are so much a part of their culture that it would be rather unrealistic for anyone to deny young adults the privilege of embracing adult Vetalian culture.

Ahem! The "world's oldest Human", perhaps, but members of certain other peoples -- such as 'TrueBears', for example, or at least some types of 'Elves' -- can live for significantly longer than that...
