In solidarity with Ukraine, I will be censoring the letters Z and V from my signature. This is -ery much so a big change, but it should be a -ery positi-e one. -olodymyr -elensky and A-o- continue to fight for Ukraine while the Russians are still trying to e-entually make their way to Kharki-, -apori-h-hia, and Kry-yi Rih, but that will take time as they are concentrated in areas like Bakhmut, -uledar, and other areas in Donetsk. We will see Shakhtar play in the Europa League but Dynamo Kyi- already got eliminated. Shakhtar managed to play well against Florentino Pere-'s Real Madrid who feature superstars like -inicius, Ben-ema, Car-ajal, and -al-erde. Some prominent Ukrainian players that got big transfers elsewhere include Oleksander -inchenko, Illya -abarnyi, and Mykhailo Mudryk.

  • What is the minimum legal age to:
  • Get a driver's license: 12 preferred.
  • Vote in elections: No age limit. Ability to read, comprehend, and debate encouraged.
  • Get married: 12 (marriage in general is discouraged though)
  • Join the military: No military.
  • Age of consent: Half your age plus seven; enthusiastic consent knowledge, self-defense training, and self-awareness all required
  • Buy/drink alcohol: No age limit.
  • Buy/use marijuana: No age limit.
  • Buy/use any other drugs: No age limit.
  • Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws: 12.
  • Become leader of your country: No age limit.

The nation is very decentralized, as such there are different regional codes of conduct for each community depending on what they've democratically decided to have. Other than the lack of age limit on voting, none of these hold absolutely true for every location in the nation, such as age of consent, with some communities as high as 18, or drug use, where some communities have strict prohibition. Punishments for such rulebreaking is also decided upon by the community in which the act occurred, which can be as minor as community service or as extreme as capital punishment. Being recognized as an adult comes with almost no benefits, and marriages can be voided with just one party's consent. There is no specific leader to the country; "the people" lead.
