I still think large political unions are a bad idea. I wouldn't mind Scandinavia having their own political union. I just don't like large ass political unions that span such a large land mass and incorporates hundreds of millions of people. I wouldn't mind seeing 4-5 countries form a political union. But having 20+ states joined in a political union is ungovernable.
I'd really like to see where this is in 10 years time. Maybe better, maybe worse.
