If you could only go to one time zone for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

      What the heck is that map projection? It’s like Mercator on steroids.

        That would be regular Mercator, actually. Greenland is as big as Africa in regular old Mercator projections.

        Edit: although maybe with a slight uniform vertical squish

            You’re right, I don’t know what I was thinking. Other than “commies hate time zones.”

              I think we are both wrong, China has one time zone. Russia and USSR did not.
