<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3723587, member: 76194&quot;]I just posted an additional one, the Euboean League, whose member city states shared a common council with elected representatives who were responsible for creating and maintaining a common system of laws and customs, and shared coinage, and a federal military force that protected all the member states. Probably as close as the ancients got to our federal systems today, or even an EU type government, but on a far smaller and much simpler scale obviously. When it comes to bureaucratic nightmare and unwieldy international institutions, we are far more accomplished at it than our ancestors were.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
