Good thread!
In Mikitivity local laws are not uniform to a national level, but are determinded by individual cantons.
The following is for Miervatia canton -- the canton most people associate with Mikitivity, as it is the seat of national government and international commerce.
Abortion: legal
Adoption (different-sex couples): legal
Adoption (same-sex couples): legal
Adultery: not prosecutable
Age of Consent: 15
Age of Majority: 21
Anal Sex: legal
Atheism: legal
Compulsory Education: 5-19
Contraceptives: legal (canton sponsored)
Divorce: legal
Drinking Age: none
Driving Age: 21 (exceptions for military and emergency response)
Marriageable Age: 21
Oral Sex: legal
Polygamy: legal
Premarital Sex: legal
Same-Sex Marriage: legal
Smoking Age (tobacco): legal
Smoking Age (cannabis): legal
Voting: not compulsory
Voting Age: 19 & graduation from cantonal civics program
p.s. the NSWiki articles should have links to explanations of what each of the categories are with examples of individual laws of various NS nations being incorporated into the articles. For example, it might be interesting to have a NSWiki article for everybody on "Voting Age" and to talk about a few extremes in the article. What does "Graduation from cantonal civics program" mean? That could be briefly explained.
