I don't know about peaceful but you could move. There were no visas and in fact no passports. Though, trying to get inside a "city" (ie: citadel) might be tricky. I guess they used gifts before to convince the other party.

That being said, if you settled somewhere in some large empty land, no one will complain.

That's because any empty land would probably be entirely unsuitable for a settlement.

Obviously we haven't specified a period in history but this all sounds suspiciously rose-tinted to me.

Plenty of land was suitable for settlement (ie: Argentina). Mostly empty and competing empires were too far. Of course, after the discovery of the "new" world, the amount of empty land reduced significantly.
