I don't think such a union is not impossible. Some people are talking about bangladeshis how they are treated in Maldive- if such a Union is created then Maldivians won't able do the harsh behaviour, come on bangladeshi economy is far greater than maldives, I assume, so bangladesh will have more influence in the Union- even though I said all the coutries will be equal. Just see Canada- it lives with Quebec province, which wanted to get out of the federation. In the last election, Bloc Quebequa, representing independent wanna bies, got only 2 or3 seats. Such Union not only protect us from outsiders but also it will be a strong multicultural society but islamic. Islam, what we have common. If we truely believe Laa Ilaha illallah Muhammadur rasulullah, and practice the common rules islamically, then I say 100% it is possible. If someone is muslim by heart, they can't deny it.
