Yeah, this is the same reason why mass immigration in Europe from Africa and Middle East doesn't work. Different ethnicities and cultures will never be able to coexist peacefully, it's human nature to want your culture and ideas to dominate in your home. Rich people in power trying to brainwash us into thinking it's possible just becaude they want to exploit 3rd world countries and lowering salaries all around in Europe are an existential danger to our very existence, for us white people in Europe. So much so we're organising our own disappearance for the 1% to reign supreme without questioning the morale of such a thing. The exact same reasons why it's impossible to have peace when forcing vastly different people to coexist together peacefully.

I saw this, and immediately my brain said "you are uniting several major nations under a single banner, who all colloquially hate each other in the 1920s." This was before NATO which effectively achieved the same thing without forcing people to speak the same language, and defend a singluar corridor. NATO also kept its national borders policies, because god forbid you allow a bunch of people who have ancient blood hatred for one another live in a land where their boundaries are now gone.

"Scandinavian" isn't a language. They all have their own. The idea behind this plan was to do away with borders between languages or cultures. Each Canton being multi-lingual and multi-cultural is deliberately by design. I do however agree that you're correct about the stability of this proposal.

Depends on which type of government it should have. Anything that wasn't a federal republic or a confederacy would be difficult and speratist movements could quickly gain hold. See Spain. What I actually find wild is that they called it "United Europe" while there are still separate countries in Europe though. Why not go all the way?
