At first glance it sounds good but joining the EU officially is unnecessarily complex. It would make more sense to join Europe similar to Iceland and Norway.

Which isn't actually mutually exclusive - kind of the opposite actually.

Sorry I think it's too early for me to understand what you mean haha.

Aren't Iceland and Norway in the Schengen area, but not actually in the EU?

And a bunch of other related agreements (Norway at centre left):

Arguably, as it has worked out, being in the EU is like the capstone of aligning with Europe in those other ways. To get closer to Europe you get closer to joining the EU, even if you never actually do.

Wikipedia has them for a bunch of regions, actually. Ours is way more of a clusterfuck.
