      This is a good question. AFAIK there is no provision for this.

      When the United States of America was formed, some suggested a provision for states to secede from the Union. It was argued against, that there was nothing to prevent a state from seceding, so that a special provision was not needed. Later of course Lincoln argued that since there was no provision for a state to secede, it was not allowed, and could be resisted even against the wishes of the people of such a state, by the then bloodiest conflict ever seen, if need be.

          And suppose that one country was Germany, fed up with supporting the other lame duck economies?

              Then it would provide a God-given excuse for the other countries to invade and so get their revenge for past history
              Hard Brexit now!

                  The USA was a loose federation when it was formed. When some of the member states decided to leave, there was a civil war.
                  that war was about states rights

                    Agreed, we are already seeing the beginnings of conflict.
