Honestly, we should just do it like the original model of zones worked: 1 time zone per zone of latitude, i.e. each time zone aligned with each 15-degree-apart meridian.

None of this "Oh we used to be part of [Input Empire Name Here] so let's keep our time zones the same as them." Damned colonial bullshit...

Edit: Longitude, not latitude. Lol. Was thinking it but wrote the opposite. Haha.

Longitude, not Latitude.

Sorry, that's what I meant. I was thinking of lines of longitude but said the opposite. Lol. My brain does that sometimes.

Yeah, being a former science teacher, correcting it was a knee-jerk reaction. :-)

It's all good. Thanks for correcting me! It needed to be said!
