| Message | Kids are still at puberty at 16 uears old, even 18 years old. They can not be accountable untill after their brain fully forms. the age of adulthood should be set at 25, after their brain is fully formed, and the compulsory schooling age set at 12, before they reach puberty. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
