On a self-sustainability, it would require the rest of Britain's resources just to fuel central London. But that would be a crap model to discuss since we haven't been able to self-sustain ourselves since the time of the Empire where we got the resources from other countries.
Though, there is something to consider, the actual sizes of the landmasses involved. Using the Peter's map, which is more accurate, the world looks more like this.
Immigration is mostly a symptom. If we used resources to involve things in certain areas which are far less developed, there wouldn't be the same requirement.
On a completely separate note, I would like to see what life is like in New Zeeland, seems like a nice place to live.

Eh, Sweden has somewhere around 10 million people or so, Europe has somewhere around 600 million, Sweden is not Europe.
I recently read that Poland for example accepts very few refugees, and they have around 38 million people in total.
In Germany, as I repeatedly pointed out, the people Fragony mentions are just rejected and sent back, only about half of the applicants are accepted. This is constantly ignored with the assumption that everyone who arrives here is actually let in. In reality everybody who is picked up is put into camps and kind of interned until the status is cleared. People have to present believable stories about the dangers at home, including details, it's more or less the same process as asking for refugee status in the US.
And if you want to complain about people getting in illegally and that the government should do more to stop that, I can only say Trump 2016!
