Voting in SKM is compulsory, and after years of protests (apathy is very low), the age of voting was lowered from 18 to 16 in 1951. All legalities that require the person in question to be an adult are 18, such as joining the military and getting married. Since the human brain is only fully developed by age 26, and scientific research has repeatedly proven drugs and alcohol affect the development of the brain, the age for drinking and taking drugs is 26, also the minimum age required to run for the Presidential office.

For all of the above the age is 16(ish), at least for Humans. Considering the multi-racial melting pot that is the Imperium Victora, the legal minimum age for just about anything is, to quote, "whenever puberty stops".

Thus, across many worlds of the Empire legal age for driving/drinking/smoking/marriage/military service/consent/etc for Humans can range between 16 and 18.
Telegram me things you want me to put in the "Codex Imperialis"
The Holy Solar Empire (or simply 'the Empire') is a FFT interstellar federal empire that is attempting to restore galactic civilization in the wake of the apocalypse while simultaneously having to fend off hordes of literal demons. The setting is a horrid Frankenstein of numerous Sci-Fi Universes (predominantly 40k and Doctor Who/Faction Paradox).
NS Stats are for nerds. I don't use them and neither should you (if you must, use stats as an indicator of the "average Civilized World"). With that said, according to this index, the Victoran Empire is a Tier 10, Level 8, Type 9 civilization with a Power Comparator of 3.9
