TBH they will probably join the EU and it'll make little difference except that they have their own territory and government. They have to abide to the same trade laws as the UK if they do join the EU.

Anyway, what happened to the "Arc of Prosperity"? Ireland's been badly hit by the recession, Norway owes billions to the US and Iceland's gone fishing. Scotland's banks got bailed out fine. Small European countries are often vulerable.
