There is a stronger anti-EU feeling in the Netherlands that elsewhere. My bet for following the UK out would be Denmark who truely do want freedom from German rule on principle and Finland who also have a massive neighbour, but one that is best dealt with in the Swiss manner of not winding them up yet looking vicious enough not to bother with.
This isn't 1916 or 1816 though, the next Bismark will be working at the EU commerce comission sub-comittee on green house gas hot air not building an army. Refusing to adopt the new standard of cucumber curvature and having your quota of bacon imports cut isn't something to really have nightmares about (unless you have to read the paperwork and there is a test at the end)
Imagine how popular Frau Merkel will be if the EU has to ban Lego AND Scotch as part of the break up.
