There is an option like that already if you think about it and it isn't getting used, "Reset". Two of my Alliance Mates on Server 1 did this when they quit. They Reset their accounts and when they got to the screen to pick a new lord name, and new state they simply walked away. This left there stats in the Statistic ( listed at 0 cities ) but removed all their cities from the map.

People just don't take advantage of this, they either simply walk away ( I must admit I just walked away from my account ) or they give the account away to someone else. Granted giving your account away is against the rules, but when people do that they don't care cause it no longer effects them.
