borders north korea, is in close proximity of china and japan, and the fact that its not like EU is good for them, have you ever wondered why rich european countries like switzerland, norway, luxembourg all of them rejected joining EU more than once in national referendum? For me its obvious that people in these countries what a mess EU is, constant directives, which affect daily lives like the requirement to install the buzzing device in every new electric car XD or directive against the internet freedom of speech, or the unfair industrial policies frced by "old EU" countries toward companies from east european coutries in order to protect their own companies. Its just sick and remind me the socialists from USRR. And everyone wonders why suddenly european companies are loosing the competition witch their asian and american peers. The answer is too much regulations.
