South-East Asian countries at the moment are to busy with their own social and economic matters, A.S.E.A.N. has a long term programme for a military- and close-economic union in the future. ''The country formerly known as Burma'' would never let any union interfere in their domestic instabilities and will defend their present state of sovereignty at ANY cost. Viet-Nam, and Laos are socialist countries. Filipinos are extremely nationalistic. Malaysians and Indonesians have a realistic chance of unification (Nusantara). And Thailand would not accept a union that undermines their monarchy.
South-East Asia is a very complicated region, and each country has its own complicated matters that would potentionally halt any steps in the direction of unification.
But if South-East Asia would unify it would be the 9th largest economy in the world, and have a large military and economic sphere of influence.
