Why would a country not want to become a member of the european union?
A country may not want to join the European Union because they seek neutrality, are doing fine on their own, or are displeased with the European Union (opposed of the idea or members or just displeased with the outcome [most important example is economic meltdown of the European Union]). EU has many laws that has to be adopted by the member countries. Member countries also may have to help other member countries in financial crisis.
However, despite these reasons, almost all countries in Europe wish to join the European Union, either soon or in the near future.
European Supranationalism is a method of decision-making in multi-national political communities, wherein power is transferred to an authority broader than governments of member states. Because decisions in some supranational structures are taken by majority votes, it is possible for a member-state in those unions to be forced by the other member-states to implement a decision. Unlike in a federal supra-state, member states retain nominal sovereignty, although some sovereignty is shared with, or ceded to, the supranational body. Full sovereignty can be reclaimed by withdrawing from the supranational arrangements. A supranational authority, by definition, can have some independence from member state governments, although not as much independence as with federal governments. Supranational institutions, like federal governments, imply the possibility of pursuing agendas in ways that the delegating states did not initially envision.

Yes, any country can do that. You'd need to contact the government agency that handles immigration in the specific country you're interested in to find out if they do do that, and what you need to do to legally start the process.
