Age Of Consent:
The age of consent within the Commonwealth is the age at which military service is completed. (23 for a man and 21 for a woman).
It is a crime for a person over the age to engage in sexual activity with someone under the age. However, if both parties are under the age of consent then it is generally not seen as a crime if they are over 14 and there is less than a two year age gap.
Important Civil Rights Law:
Abortion:
Abortion is illegal within the commonwealth; with the exception of rape cases, cases when the continuation of the pregnancy endangers the mother's life and when the child has a severe medical condition that would greatly hamper it's enjoyment of life. Contraception is encouraged, and the government ensures that people have free access to all forms of contraception.
Marriage:
State marriage, the only practised form of marriage, is available to any couple of any sexual orientation. Bigamy is not illegal, however the state can only recognise one marriage between two people; the bigamist would be forced to annul all but one of their marriages if the state discovered they had managed to marry multiple partners.
Racism:
Discrimination by a public service or an employer based upon ethnicity is illegal. Racially motivated violence is treated with the same severity as all other forms of violence, harshly. Hate speech is protected under freedom of speech/expression/conscience laws.
