At least we are a federation of autonomous countries.

Educate me: are there provisions for an EU member state to:

• Withdraw from the monetary union? (without sanction). (e.g., if Germany wanted to return to the d-mark, would that be possible?)
• Secede from the EU itself?

Just curious...

noone asked that question up to now so there's no example for that.

I think if we saw major issues in monetary politics (like for an example a massive dollar devaluation) we certainly have this option.

Breaking up partnerships without sanction is an illusion - not just with the EU but certainly with any partnership.
