You're quite wrong. The Nordic Countries pull already much more weight internationally than their size would warrant (except for maybe Iceland, who liked to play Greece). If united, the Nordics would be the 12th largest economy in the world, and if using 1.5% of the GDP on military, the new Kalmar Union would be the 11th largest military spender globally.
So definitely the union would be a big global player.
Hey Ariete we want Finns in on this too
Finns are great soldiers, they can provide the muscle.
They'll be US of Scandinavia
Also i want a Southern Europe union.
Spain, Italy, Greece..etc. and they can flirt with some Balkan countries.
I would definitely want Serbia and Croatia and maybe Hungary
And HQ of this union will be Regnum Siciliae.
So Sicily will be thriving again
Italy will be the biggest boy in Europe and this will put the screws on Germany and France.
Who will step up when/if Britain leaves, I mean the financial step up, when countries who get more, ( Greece, Italy, Spain, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Ireland, Scotland..LOL, Portugal, Lithuania, Estonia, Austria) have to then plug the billions Britons wont be paying( me). Or will France and Germany ( which is either a right wing Nazi regime, or a left wing Nazi regime) cough up all of it. Britain will feel pain if we leave, or much more if we stay. Well done Netherlands for keeping Ukraine out of it. Germany can kiss Turkey`s backside. I for one blame Germany for this ( The East of Germany, Merkel, has ruined West Germany, and now ruining Europe). I will still go to Italy on hols and love that country

Net contribution of the UK is 8.5 billion Euros. That's 314.814.814€ when divided by 27. I know that sounds like a lot, but isn't something that should get the rest of the countries into trouble since their overall budgets are a lot bigger than that.
As for the rest of your post? Can't make much sense out of it.
My post means that the EU was/is a Franco-German union to prevent another European war, sucking in smaller neighbours such as you-Austria, Luxembourg , Holland, Belgium ect all countries who are identical , to form this block. So France-Germany right the rules, the smaller neighbours get more back to keep them on board, as is happening with Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania,Czech ( who are basically Germans) , Slovakia- none of these countries put much money in, ( and as proved with the German migrant problem) don't want to take any in, yet feel free themselves to move en-masse ie; to Britain. But Germany is always willing to pay up because they are pulling the strings and it helps fuel their economy. This is very clear now, to me, that it is a strange experiment

TL;DR: You seem to be bitter that the UK never cared much about their influence on the EU. Also, your economic knowledge and that on other countries and cultures in Europe seems to be rather limited.
