This has both its pro's and cons. To see a partial dissolution of borders between such major countries would be great and the impacts on the international community with the merger would (hopefully) bring about many changes. It would be very beneficial to the peoples of the said countries, in both freedom of movement and econmic stability.
On the other hand a sense of indentity would be lost though not to any extreme length. The one thing that would worry me the most is some of NZ's enviromental policies would be overlooked or dismissed, and I think that other countries could learn a lot from these even though NZ still has a long way to go in that regard IMO are heading in the right direction. And aswell with regard to Indigenous peoples of NZ the Maori's huge strides are being taken in giving them back their lost heritage, land and a sense of pride in their culture. An increase of over 40% of Maori's in the last 10 or so years have learnt to speak the Maori language.
But I digress, I just think that these things NZ could contribute to such an alliance. Not Economic or political weight to throw around but rather ideals to learn from.
