Tine is an old nation with many cities and towns on the coastline to the Northern Ocean. The nation was formed in 842 after the Wars for Tinegardian Unification. Starting in the 17th century, Tine established itself as a prominent trading nation and naval power in the Northern Ocean. During this period, the famous Royal Tine Navy Academy was established. Tine attempted many times through the 17th and 18th centuries to control the flow of trade in the Northern Ocean to no avail. Tine has a thriving agricultural and fishing economy due to the proximity of the Northern Ocean.
