*The Vajji Sangha (Vajji Confederation), consisted of several janapadas, gramas (villages) and gosthas (groups). Eminent people were elected from each khanda (district) as representatives to the Vajji gana parishad, the ‘people’s council of Vajji’. These representatives were called gana mukhyas. The chairman of the council was titled ganapramukha but often he was addressed as a king although his post was neither dynastic nor hereditary. It was, perhaps, among the oldest democracies in the world; though it probably did not give representation to ALL citizens.
