A unified state has the following characteristics:
Single currency and market
Single passport
Single military
Single fiscal and monetary policy.
For countries in a similar developmental stage, becoming a single country country can allow the country to become a bigger player in geopolitics and world markets.
Their firms can combine more easily to form larger units and have access to expanded internal markets. Having a single military under a single command structure can also avoid the NATO pitfall of different members moving in differing directions, or contributing minimally.
The downside of forming a unified state is the danger of creating an EU. The richer members leech upon the poorer ones.
