The dream of the 20th Century Communist was a unified Europe as a start towards a unified World Government. The 3 little nations of Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg banded together to form Benelux and the EU was beginning to take shape. Benelux did a lot of good to provide transportation for commerce. And now Belgium (probably misspelled) is the seat of unelected power in the EU. Too much government is bad for self-determination.
How does Asia get on board?
