TranscriptionA map of the world with vertical lines marking the time zones from UTC-12 to UTC+12. It has a legend:

Wrong Time

"Natural time zones" are 15° in longitude. Land in red observes a time other than the zone it lies within. Smaller islands depict their 12 nautical mile territorial sea, for visual effect. In some cases this includes a state's archipelagic waters.

We ought to get rid of that minus one time zone - nobody's using it.

Actually I think I don't understand the concept. I think some of the guys in the other time zones might be using the minus one but be wrong.

Damn this is confusing.
