What it is is theoretical, not a proposal for public policy. If it were, it would be quaint

Even theoretically it is quaint. A State has absolute sovereignty within its borders and over its citizens. Free trade implicitly requires that States abstain from exercising that power. In order for your trade contract to be worth the paper it is written on requires affirmative State action on many levels. Your theoretical statement is quaint.
