Some things are inevitable, it seems. You gotta join to survive... (Apparently that's what Hungary thinks).

I think that the European situation is a bit different, since it involves economical/monetary cooperation only - if you're out, your situation will get worse b/c the members will trust each other more than the "outsiders" (briefly). So, if you use your common sense, you will join. I don't know much about the regulation of the members, but since we have no "President of EU" or such (a leader that's above the countries' own leaders), I don't think there is power that could force any country to join or remain a member. At this state everybody wants to join
