  • Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws: 17+
  • Become leader of your country: ~20 - there's no real legislation nor part of the constitution that limits a person's right to campaign, however one is generally expected to have an experienced background of politics and business, or other suitable fields of academia, before considering running for office. Generally the parliament can issue a vote of no confidence if said elected leader is deemed too "immature" or "inexperienced."

  • Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws: 18
  • Become leader of your country: 18 (There are no laws specifically concerning the age of the Prime Minister, however as the Prime Minister is the leader of the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies and anyone who is old enough to vote is considered old enough to be elected to either chamber of Parliament, 18 is considered the de facto minimum age for serving as Prime Minister, although of course, the individual political parties may themselves restrict the leadership position to party members of a certain age or above)

What is the minimum legal age to:

Macureus considers the treatment of adolescence as a part of childhood to be "infantilizing" in its effects and a self-fulfilled prophecy. It artificially prolongs childhood by not giving youth the chance to develop their brains earlier through proper, rigorous training and life
experience. The practice of universal basic income enables youth to finish secondary education without any need for full-time employment in order to survive the process even without parental provision.

What is the minimum legal age to...
  • Get a driver's license: 17
  • Vote in elections: 16 (through the 44th Amendment to the Constitution)
  • Get married: 18 (through the 50th Amendment to the Constitution)
  • Join the military: 18
  • Buy/drink alcohol: 18 (in public places)
  • Buy/use marijuana: Medical cannabis in its various forms is given to people of all ages. Recreational cannabis is now legal for everyone aged 18 or over as a result of successful coalition negotiations in 2023, after earlier WA-imposed decriminalisations; Mayor Saffron Howard had expressed a greater willingness to enact drug reform into law than her recent-past UCP predecessors and has been credited with forcing an 18-year rather than the previously-proposed 21-year age limit on the grounds that smoking tobacco and e-cigarettes is legal aged 18.
  • Buy/use any other drugs: ILLEGAL in all circumstances (not including paracetamol, etc.)
  • Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws: 18, for all intents and purposes
  • Become leader of your country: 16, which is also the age at which you can vote and be voted into the Assembly - although no Assembly Member has ever been younger than 19 and no Mayor has been younger than 40.
Asides: Gambling, weapons purchases and the ability to actually drive without another license-holder present are all restricted to 18-year-olds, among other acts.

  • What is the minimum legal age to:
  • Get a driver's license: 16 (14 in certain jurisdictions)
  • Vote in elections: 18
  • Get married: 18 (16 is permitted with parental consent) **
  • Join the military: 18 (exceptions sometimes granted for 17)
  • Age of consent: 16 (18 under certain circumstances) ***
  • Buy/drink alcohol: 18 (buy), 14 (drink, with parental supervision under 18)
  • Buy/use marijuana: 18
  • Buy/use any other drugs: 18 (legal drugs)
  • Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws: 18
  • Become leader of your country: 21

Deeper Grea follows the generally accepted international guideline of 18 for most things, with certain noted exceptions above.

Notes:

** Parental consent under Deeper Grea law requires the legal guardians of both children to consent to the marriage, and it must be demonstrated that there was no form of coercion applied to any party.

*** Age of consent is raised to 18 when one of the parties is in a position of authority over the other, such as a teacher or supervisor at work. Also, consent is deemed to be impossible to give when one party is under the influence or alcohol, drugs, or is unconscious. Consent granted prior to getting drunk, high, or passing out is considered revoked upon entering one of those states.
