If EU leader was elected then Germany would have nearly eight times the influence as Sweden by dint of a bigger population. That's not politically practical.

Not sure what the exterior is going to be but the ballrooom is not neo-classical. Closest historical style would be Rococo or Versaille? But really it's Vegas Hotel interior..
