why will Saudi, Qatar, UAE nationals want people from other countries to become citizens of their countries, and then demand equal rights and resources from their govt.
Group A has 10 people with 100,000 bank balance (Saudi, Qatar, UAE etc).
Group B has 10,000 people have 100,000 bank balance (the relatively poor countries).
Why would group A people want to come to same level as group B people by having a union which will erase the political and national boundaries.
Country - GDP Per capita (USD) - Total Population (in Millions) - Population as % of total Population of the Nine countries
Qatar - 90,000 - 2 - 0.3%
UAE - 40,000 - 10 - 1.3%
Saudi - 20,000 - 30 - 3.9%
Malaysia - 10,000 - 30 - 3.9%
Iran - 7000 - 80 - 10.5%
Indonesia - 3500 - 250 - 33%
Pakistan - 1,200 - 180 - 24%
Bangladesh - 800 - 150 - 20%
Afghanistan - 600 - 30 - 4%
Now it is a debatable point that whether the countries with just 0.3%, 1.3% and 3.9% of total population will agree to share their extreme wealth with the other 33%, 24%, 20% population in this union.
Another point is Qatar, UAE, Saudi, Malaysia, Iran has less population compared to other countries. So a border-less union means they risk being inundated by people from Indonesia and Sub continent and become minorities in their own countries.
The people from Qatar, UAE, Saudi, Malaysia, Iran would never favour such a union.
The union does not have any sound basis to succeed.
A more plausible and successful integration and union would be an association of all South Asian countries in line with EU.
