Explanation

JUNTA refers to a small group of people, usually military or political leaders, who jointly control a government. A CLIQUE is similarly a small, exclusive group of people with shared interests or purposes. Neither junction (a point where roads meet) nor jungle (a dense forest) captures this meaning of a ruling group.
