Groups such as the European union (EU) and to a lesser extend those such as the African Union, Association of Southeast Asian Nations and Caribbean Community are all organizations that exist as either a supranationalist or quasi supranationalist organization. Each of these organizations experiences both positive benefits to the agreements between their nations and selective pressures against them. While there may be unforeseen benefits to the creation of one world wide supranationalist super state, the creation of smaller, regional supranationalist states and abandonment of some aspects of national interest and sovereignty will be to the benefit of both the citizens and governmental processes due to the interdependence of markets and the unification

The decision making is also halted by each individual country 's set of goals and national interest, as it is inevitable that some of their ideologies and goals would clash with other nation-states. To act fully multilaterally with other countries would turn into political gridlock over time. The extreme levels of market interdependence could also arise as a financial burden to the wealthier countries in the agreement, even on a smaller scale this has proven to be a problem with the occasional bailouts, of up to $95 billion in the latest situation, of countries such as Portugal and Greece (members of the EU). The gap between both the wealthy and poorer countries would be so immense that to have even implemented a supranationalist nation this size would be ludicrous as a political and economic hierarchy would be eventually, whether willingly or unwillingly, be installed.

The benefits of a supranationalist state of this nature has already been demonstrated by the EU and successes that it has created. As of 2014 the EU’s GDP ($20,103,349) had already surpassed the USA’s GDP, which at the time, and currently still, is the largest singular country’s GDP. Since the EU consists of only 28 countries, 14.5% of currently existing countries , this fact stands as a shining example of what supranationalist states are able to accomplish over a short period of time, for the EU this timeframe being 1950-2016 with the quasi creation of the supranationalist organization containing only Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, Netherlands and the later additions of various other countries. The scale of the EU’s influences once again remains immense on the ratio of population to global exports and imports, 7% of the global population to 20% of its global exports and imports. Since the EU is one of the only supranationalist organizations that operates at this level it may be hard to tell whether other organizations of this nature may operate with equal to greater levels of success. However when looking at the global market shares and GDPs of other various countries, such as those that exist in the west, the idea that if they were to unify under the banner of a supranationalist organization
