Which country had the first democratic government?

The ancient city-state of Athens (circa 508 BCE) is believed to be the first state to institute a fully-democratic government, although there had been plenty of proto-democratic experiments in other nations before.The modern era is generally considered to have begun in the 1500s ("early modern"), and by this time, a number of countries had already implemented democratic mechanics into their government. The earliest is sometimes considered to be Poland–Lithuania, which operated under a noble republic (elective monarchy) since 1505.At the same time, England had already been utilizing a semi-modern parliamentary system since 1215 that would later develop into the Westminster-style parliamentary system seen today in the United Kingdom. However, the English Parliament was far less powerful then, as the ruling monarch still retained most of the authority.Other well-documented early democratic systems include the Dutch Republic, which was founded when the Netherlands revolted against Spain in 1581.
