"A  free-trade area is a  trade bloc whose member countries have signed a  free-trade agreement ( FTA), which eliminates  tariffs,  import quotas, and preferences on most (if not all)  goods and services traded between them." as quoted from wikipedia.

"Free trade" means that, for example, if Lyonesse were to import pears from the Cat Reoublic, there wouldn't be a tax or tariff on Cat Republican pears within, or upon entry to Lyonesse. At least that is my understanding of it.
