Actually, the small Union members wield disproportional clout compared to their populations.* The reason they don't get much say is that they frequently fail to work together (that's part of what makes the notion of a Nordic Federation so appealing to me).

*And as I wrote about - at length - back in the comment I linked to previously, I think that this is going to be a major problem for the Union down the road...
