The European Union is an attempt at this utopia.

There are no tariffs on food, steel or similar between the member states. All states subsidise food production, but not steel.

You did not mention that since the founding of the EU, there has not been a single war between member states. Compare that to european history and you see the most important thing about the EU. I can live with all the things there are rightfully to be criticized about the EU, in exchange for peace in continental europe.
