Oh, no, I have not forgotten that the UK is multi-national. But in North America, Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy is known (at least to those who care to learn their history) as the oldest participatory democracy on earth.
Couple of interesting reads:
The Six Nations: Oldest Living Participatory Democracy on Earth
Iroquois Confederacy (American Indian confederation) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia
