Sorry that 1. This only includes part of Europe and might seem a bit elitist 2. Has a bit misleading name pecause structure would be different from historical union.
Kalmar union was union of Denmark, Iceland Norway and Sweden/Finland. It was dominated by Denmark and union was short-lived.
My fantasy is that the kalmari union is remade and nordic countries would have it instead of EU. (Norway, sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Finland) Here are reasons why it would be better than eu
-less countries in union, all countries have better chance to effect union plans
-similar base stats (population size, land area size, climate pretty much neighbours) keep countries on same line
-countries have long history together and has trust and same values
-same values make it easier to plan
-nordic countries already do so much copporation
-if you check pretty much any list or statas, nordic countries are on pretty much same place. (Education etc.)
-union would become big enough to have actual power when making agreements with russia, usa, Eu etc.
I think it would have better chance to become federation (one army, same currency etc) though I think nordic countries value independence too much that it would end up there.
Few reasons why it won't happen
-EU is strong and doing fine. There isn't need big enough for this kind of union though EU has some problems due it size and variation
-norway is doing (too) well by itself. It doesn't really need this kind of unions and this union needs all the members to be effective
-To me it seems nordic countries have similar set of mind, but I would guess its more different than I think.
Few side notes. Estonia could join though though it would have less effect due smaller size. Scotland could be part as well though it might have to be independent to join. These are few countries small enough and close enough to cut make it if they want in.
This is my fantasy and im interested to hear people's opinions about it. It might happen if EU falls apart.
