No idea about the zone, but no country would put up with the hassles of daylight saving for 15 minutes. L

Isnt there OGF:Time Zones?

There is also a handy map.

@wangi I put up specific time zones because I want my country to be unique.

@zhenkang I saw about 3-4 world time maps. Some showed my country in the WUT +8 zone and some others showed my country in or near the WUT +9 zone, so that is why I settled on half and quarter hour time zones.

A 15 minute DST shift doesn't make your country unique, it makes it unrealistic. Have a look at:

• https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/@43,130
• https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/@43,130?month=3&year=2018

It's the same lat/lon, in this case China at UTC+8. But lets use your proposed zones for illustration:

• On 20 March the sun would rise at 06:09 and set at 18:16 (WUT+8:45)
• On 21 March the sun would rise at 06:22 and set at 18:32 (WUT+9)
• On 30 June the sun would rise at 04:43 and set at 20:03 (WUT+9)
• On 14 October the sun would rise at 06:31 and set at 17:39 (WUT+9)
• On 15 October the sun would rise at 06:17 and set at 17:23 (WUT+8:45)

Giving zero of the normal benefits put forward for daylight savings.

You're kind of right. Would it work to have:

*WUT +8:30 without DST would be weird since Eshein is to my west but would be 30 minutes ahead of me...

*Stick with WUT +8 and follow DST

*Stick with WUT +8:30 and follow DST

*Stick with WUT +9 and follow DST

Baie-Ouest's real world co-ordinates are in China, just north of the North Korean border. I see that South Korea (west of Baie-Ouest) and Japan (on same longitude) both follow UTC +9. I think it would be best for me to have WUT +9 and follow DST (+10) from March 1 to October 31.

I'd say WUT+9 year round, no DST, and a single zone for the entire country.

Sounds good.
