The union of crowns should have a special mechanic, to shape their unification, it should also be more difficult to integrate, not just spend 50 years.
Aragon and Castilla took more than two centuries to consolidate into a single Kingdom, often having conflicting interests. Castilla was forced to fight in Italy and the Mediterranean for Aragon.
Castilla and Aragon chose different kings after the death of the last Hasburg, Castilla chose a Bourbon and Aragon a prince.
Poland and Lithuania several times fought separate wars already having the same king.
I have thought that there should be a mechanical type of consolidation, for example 0% consolidation, can declare independent wars, change state religion, etc.
50% consolidation, very similar foreign policy, but with their differences, they always go to war together, embargoes together, they don't give military access without your supervision.
100% consolidation, unified foreign policy, common parliament, having a lot of control over the amount of the army and monetary issues, ready for integration.
I have also thought that starting a union with another stronger country should be dangerous for the government of your country.
You are supposed to be the Government of a country, you are not directly the king, that your king has inherited another kingdom should not mean that your kingdom inherited territory.
For your government it can also mean being assimilated.
The King of Navara inherited the kingdom of France, and the government of Navarre was assimilated by France.
The king of Scotland was elected king of England, however the kingdom of England was the main one. After the failure in Panama, Scotland was assimilated by England, and the United Kingdom was born.
