Hmmm... maybe it isn't such a bad idea after all
What I was kind of getting at is that we would (nominally at least) have less power than we do now - right now we've got a seat in the Permanent 5 on the security council, our own nuclear weapons, etc. To give all these up and
still be smaller than one of the current states would just be too much...
