#2  Perhaps they need a single national bank to buy up the debt and a constitution saying member states must balance their budgets. Allow small wealthy regions (Bavaria and Tuscany for example) to become member states at the cost of a larger share of revenue going towards paying off that debt the national bank took on.

Or dissolve the union and turn into a free trade zone.
