      It looks like that entire area, which is the size of Albania, only has about fifty people living in it. They’re so far from everything else and there’s few enough of them that they can just agree to do their own thing

      Honestly, I don’t get why anyone would want their timezone not to be a round hour. Surely the extra complexity and increased chances of mistakes isn’t worth it? Timezones are bad enough when they’re a round number. And as the map shows, many places don’t match their geological position, anyway, so it’s not like being 15-30 minutes off is a big deal.
