Description[?]:
| "I believe that at this age, young Zardugalies have lived on Terra long enough to have their own opinion and make there own choices. Obviously, at this age, parental opinion retains a large influence over their lives, so the Liberty Party proposes this measure to earn the respect of Zardugali youth and to help them mature into proud, responsible Zardugalies." ~Max Zeplin, Directory Member |

| Message | OCC: If I see some 16 years old guys here, I am sure they're no adults at all. |

| Message | "Most kids aren't just reasonable enough with the age of 16. Therefore we can't handle them as adults by law." |

| Message | OOC: As I said before, this is really up to their parents. Believe me, they'll still have a massive role in their lives. But really, I don't really believe in the Age of Majority. Civil Liberties like suffrage, drug, tobacco and alcohol consumption, sex, gun ownership, joining the military, license to drive etc should be split into age appropriate policies, not one universal age. |
