All around disagreeable person.

"Personal freedom is a double edged sword though. On the one end, it grants more power to the individual. However, the vast majority of individuals are fuckin idiots, and if certain restraints are not metered down by more responsible members of society, the society quickly degrades into a hedonistic and psychotic cluster fuck."

Some of these may seem a bit harsh, but they work well, and never caused any problems. The reason that Vjørnburgën are only considered adults at the age of 20 is that we have a 16-grade mandatory education system - starting from what is regularly called a preschool up until the second year of what is normally considered college. After that, Vjørnburgën have the oppurtunity to pursue either another two, four, or six years of education. Although some opt to continue on and take eight or even ten years of education, most people take no more than six years.
Interesting point: The ability to vote depends not on age, but on passing the required 16-year school.

The following only applies to humans. Turtles and mushrooms reach majority separately.
  • What is the minimum legal age to:
  • Get a driver's license: Fourteen.
  • Vote in elections: Eighteen.
  • Get married: Fourteen* for females, sixteen* for males. To be married without mutual consent of all legal parents or gaurdians, they must be eighteen.
  • Join the military: Eighteen.
  • Age of consent: Trick question. Sex is only legal within marriage, but it is de facto eighteen. (However, if two minors consented to marriage and their parents signed off, they could lawfully have sex.)
  • Buy/drink alcohol: Trick question. We have Prohibition.
  • Buy/use marijuana: Trick question. Courts have interpreted Prohibition to include cannabis.
  • Buy/use any other drugs: Pharmaceuticals can be purchased without parental consent at the age of eighteen, but any creature may take medicine if their parents sign off.
  • Be legally recognized as an adult under your nation's laws (age of majority): Eighteen.
  • Become leader of your country: N/A, but de facto, it is the age of majority.
