    Don't forget to actually click on the actual link, nordvpn.com/mapmen and use the promo code "mapmen" to get 75% off NordVPN. First cos it's a genuinely really good deal for a genuinely really useful thing, but also because you'll be supporting the channel and it'll allow us to make more Map Men. So thank you thank you thank you! But thirdly because it's genuinely a really good offer!

    If I recall, I believe I've heard that Arizona's timezone sectioning is even weirder than it first appears.
    The state does not follow daylight saving. But some native American reservations do. But within those reservations, there are small chunks of land (and I've even heard it's as granular as specific buildings) which are owned by government, thus being state or federal property, thus NOT following daylight saving.
    So a building is ignoring daylight saving, contained within a small-ish chunk of land that IS following daylight saving, contained within a state that IS NOT following daylight saving, contained within a country that IS following it.

    Small detail, but actually in 1880 time in Ireland was set at Dublin Mean Time, which was GMT minus twenty five minutes. This lasted until after the 1916 Rising, when it was decided to standardise them to make telegram communication more convenient.

As a token gesture, Spain changed their time zone to Germany's, and it has stayed like this ever since. You just have to look at the time zone map to see that Spain should be an hour behind.

    Two points RE: Kiribati 1) It was Dec 30th they skipped, not Dec 31st. 2) The reason was due to trade with trade with Australia but due to administration within the country itself. Kiribati is made up of 3 Island groups, the Gilbert, Phoenix and Line Island. The 1st 2 groups were to the east of the International Date Line, the Line was to the West. Therefore if the Gilbert or Phoenix Island wanted to liase with the Line Islands they could only do so for 4 days of the week due to the International Date Line. On Dec 30th, the Line Islands moved to west of the International Date Line joining the other two Island groups as part of Kiribati. Samoa was the one that moved due to trade with AUS/NZL.

      @timothycuff605 4 роки тому +79

      Those horizontal lines follow state lines (e.g. the horizontal red line for example follows the border between Queensland, NSW, Southern Australia and the NT). I’m assuming this is just to keep each state roughly in its own time zone for the sake of simplicity. Kinda silly, but not nearly as silly as some of the ones mentioned in this video.

    • @robbymacdonald8212
      @robbymacdonald8212 4 роки тому +19

    • @Elitist20
      @Elitist20 4 роки тому +17

      The Central Time Zone is odd enough - it should be GMT +9 (Western is +8 and Eastern is +10) but it's actually +9.30. But in summer South Australia adopts daylight saving (+10.30) while the Northern Territory doesn't. And in the Eastern Time Zone Queensland also doesn't adopt it, while New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania do (+11), giving 5 time zones. And there's also an unofficial 'Central Western Time Zone' (+8.45) around the WA/SA border village of Eucla.

      Aren't they also buying up land elsewhere to move to if climate change doesn't get fixed?

      @@manasim.9936 Their islands' highest points are only around a metre above sea level, so sea level rise is a big concern for them. Even just a small rise takes a big bite out of their usable land. I think they might have already lost one particularly low-lying island, but I'm not certain, so don't quote me on that one.
