What is the minimum legal age to:
Get a driver's license: 16, with appropriate training as designated by their chancery, unless the driving is done to accomodate for employment or family-related hardships, in which case, it is 14.
Vote in elections: 16, and mandatory participation at 18.
Get married: There is no official standard, as marriage is not regulated by a government agency in the Kieshlands, though the generally-accepted age is 18.
Join the military: Recruits are able to enlist at the age of 18, or upon completion of Secondary Schooling if earlier.
Age of consent: There is no official standard, as the national high chancery does not mandate such activity, though the generally-accepted age is 14.
Buy/drink alcohol: 18, though more lax in Gesuwar Tribal Mandate zones due to cultural importance of alcohol in daily routines.
Buy/use marijuana: 18, though its recreational use in the Kieshlands is often frowned upon.
Buy/use any other drugs: 18.
Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws: 18, or upon completion of Secondary Schooling if earlier.
Become leader of your country: There is no official standard, as government in the Kieshlands is managed through a "nested"-type scheme, but the generally-accepted age is 40 to be appointed to lead as the Guardian of the Confederacy or elected to the seat of Prime Chancellor.
