So much politics going on in this map.

The eternal UK 🤝 Portugal alliance and the awkward space it creates between them.

Spain and Poland are in the same timezones.

The weird corridor created by Belarus.

Ukraine is in a separate tz from Russia, I wonder when that was established

What the hell is going on with the light blue in the east?

Getting rid of DST and keeping standard (winter) time means the same winters we currently have. The sun just sets and rises 'earlier' during the summer according to clocks if they weren't set to DST.

Yeah, that's the part I'm pissed off about. I get off work at 5:30, so I don't get to be out in the sun for MONTHS whereas if we were in summer time I would be able to catch the sunset even in December.
