Not a geographic lesson since the EU is bigger than we are.
So what other trade deals or negotiations that have been agreed are based upon getting a massive superiority? The general idea is that both sides should benefit in some way. It's arrogant and just plain nasty to try and impose a supposed "superiority".

Around 4,000 or 60-70% of medicines in Ireland come from or via the UK and the Government has confirmed this supply will be threatened by a no-deal Brexit.
...
There are also growing fears that there could be fuel shortages as most of the petrol and diesel we use here comes from the UK.
...
It’s a business around €4.6 billion each year and the new taxes which will be imposed after Brexit will mean it will hundreds of euro more to heat their homes.
...
Around two-thirds of the products on Irish supermarket shelves are made in the UK or come through that country.
...
Irish trawlers could be banned from fishing in UK waters and Agriculture Minister Michael Creed said up to 4,000 jobs could be lost in the 10,000-strong fishing industry if Britain takes back complete control of its fishing water rights.
So who has the "power"? The problem is that those in charge are too weak willed and lily livered to do anything but give in on our behalf.
