What is your nations Age of Majority?

Postby Tersanctus » Thu Jul 01, 2010 12:50 am

In Tersanctus proper, the universal age of majority and the rights and responsibilities of a full citizen is Sixteen.

They can drink, smoke, get married, and own property.

Sex is not considered a dangerous or dirty activity in Tersanctus, it is simply considered an enjoyable activity that is a part of life. However, the age of consent is still set at fourteen, with felony level set for anyone over the age of twenty one attempting to seduce a person under the age of majority.
That means a nineteen year old could sleep with a fourteen year old, but a twenty one year old cannot sleep with anyone under sixteen.

We have no "Age of Majority". You have rights and legal abilities when you are born, its just an issue of practicality of, persay, an 11-month old driving.

The child can challenge this practicality when its practical, and usually 12 is a popular ruling, although its been known to be reduced. All people are listened to.

Certain Rights are incontestably universal and since birth undeniable. And any right that s not protected universally that can be challenged for practicality automatically becomes default at age 12.

While culturally it's 13, there is no law mandating an age of majority.

In Masire the age of Majority is anyone age above 15, however every citizen of Masire has to complete 2 years of Military service before they are considered an 'Adult' or 'Full Citizen of State'
Drinking, smoking are all available to anyone over 15 even if they have not yet completed Military Service but neither can be done Publicly

Sex is considered a natural and fun action and as such the age of consent is 14, anyone above the age of 15 trying to seduce anyone below the age of consent is considered a sex offender and is put in jail for a set amount of time depending on the age differance.

Marriage, Driving and Owning Property are all allowed after a person has completed their 2 years of Manditory Military Service.

18, but 16 in cases of those who enlist in the military before turning 18.

There is no Age of Majority (either legally or culturally).
Previous legal ones were abolished a few years ago as enforcement was seen to violate peoples right to freedom and, more importantly, as a drain on our resources.

The age of 18 is when a minor ceases to be legally an child by law (or Age of Majority), and assumes control over their own person, actions and decisions, thereby eliminating the legal responsibilities and control of the parent or guardian over them.

These actions may include entering into a binding contract, buying stocks, voting, buying and/or consuming alcoholic beverages. Age of consent as well as the driving age is at 16 years old.

In most jurisdictions, one is considered an adult at the age of 17 years. Typically, this allows one to join their state's militia, own weaponry, and participate in their province's political affairs.

However, many states accept contracts signed by 15- or 16-year olds as legally binding, and persons of these ages are almost always tried as adults in serious criminal cases.

There is no Empire-wide age of majority. Rather, the Imperial government sets age restrictions for certain procedures. For example, one must be 20 years of age to vote in Imperial elections, and 18 to serve in the Imperial military.

There is no limit other than how old you have to be to understand the connection between freedom and happiness and what your part is in ensuring the continued freedom and happiness of the other citizens.

There is none, either legally or culturally.

Decepticons are activated with all the data needed to make decisions about things normally covered by age-of-majority laws already installed.

We prefer that they wait until at least 4 to join the military, however, so they have a chance to properly individualize.

It depends on how you view it. Orlkjestad isn't really firm on this.

You can get a learner's permit at 14, a driver's license and allowance of sexual activity with parental pre-notification at 16, vote and have sexual activity without parental pre-notification at 18, and drink and get a pilot's license at 21.

Basically, it's 14-21. Politicians debate whether to set it at 16 or 18, with some arguing for it as young as 14 and as old as 21, but its really up to how somebody views it.

The age of majority in the United Roman Empire is 18, however because civilians may only join the armed forces or one of the other service branches as early as their 18th birthday, they cannot gain the right to vote until they finish their minimum tour of service of 2 years, therefore the earliest age at which a citizen can vote is 20, though most serve longer than their minimum of 2 years. The right to vote is not earned until the citizen is officially retired from their chosen service branch, this means soldiers and officers cannot vote until officially retired.
