The EU is a great example of it not working - they fudged, trying to push economic Union without political Union (hey, Salmond, easling, you listening?). Now even Germany is looking at stagnation due to low demand.

The idea of a Viking North" at least has some historical and cultural logic to it, it's something you can argue for - breaking England up into economic regions isn't something the average man can be expected to support - as it prevents no tangible benefit.

Made much harder by the Local Government Act 1974, of course.
