    That’s why the EU is the best trade alliance. It gives you the opportunity to maintain your national autonomy and to benefit from the advantages of a trade alliance.

      Right, I think this is the kind of model that should basically be scaled to the entire planet eventually. Maybe it’s regional alliances that nestle into a bigger alliance on top of whatever the specifics are, it’s clear the way to go is to preserve individual country/regional identities and independence while increasing cross-collaboration and alignment.

      You give up a LOT of autonomy and sovereignty to join the EU, as far as the (semi-)harmonized fields of regulations go. Which is ever growing, by the way.
