    1. It is also interesting that Argentina, used to have two (I remember when I was a kid) that the west had one less hour, now we have only one (we dont even have daylight saving time) and we are in a timezone (GMT-3) where the country is almost entirely out.

      For India it’s fine for like 90% of the country but North east and the Andaman islands do have unusually early sunsets and sunrises.

      Can someone explain Turkmenistan for me. Why does it have more than one?

    4. How does Portugal have multiple time zones?

      Edit: Never mind, I forgot about the Azores

      France has multiple islands around the world, it’s why they have multiple time zones.

      For those who don’t know, New Zealand also has Chatham Islands Time (clock forward 45 minutes, calendar back 20 years)

    7. France has the most time zones of any country in the world.

      This map is probably more meaningful if you showed mainland times, not possessions.

    8. We need an extra colour for countries that have one time zone in their mainland, but have overseas territories in other parts of the globe. (Chile, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, Ecuador, etc.)

      It’d be interesting to see this shaded by the number of timezones each country “should” have.

      China’s like „screw it, the supreme leader says it’s 5 o’clock…it’s 5 o’clock for EVERYONE. I don’t care that you eat brunch in the dark“

    11. The Kingdom of Denmark has an asterisk, in that 2/3 of the countries individually use a single timezone, but collectively don’t.

      The UK has an even bigger asterisk, in that each of the countries are individually of a single timezone, and are all in the same timezone, _but_ the places that are „of“ the UK but not part of it (i.e. the crown dependencies and territories) are in different timezones.

      The UK’s administrative relationship with the crown dependencies and territories is a bit mental. They don’t constitute constituent countries, but aren’t part of any country either, and the British government has no direct power over them – they both officially answer to the crown, and any influence the British government wants to have over them has to be expressed by requesting it of the monarchy.

      Also, you’ve coloured the Falklands, S. Georgia Islands, Réunion, and Karguelen Islands as having single timezones, I’m assume they’re mistakes.

    12. The UK is one time zone. If you’re including British overseas territories and crown dependencies, they are not parts of the UK.

      It’s not like the way France has overseas departments.
