So much politics going on in this map.

The eternal UK ๐Ÿค Portugal alliance and the awkward space it creates between them.

Spain and Poland are in the same timezones.

The weird corridor created by Belarus.

Ukraine is in a separate tz from Russia, I wonder when that was established

What the hell is going on with the light blue in the east?

Please remember that the curvature of this map is off, accurate would be a globe map. Its not that wild, EU has a common time zone because its better for business.

EU has a common time zone

Nobody told the Irish, Greeks, Finns and Baltic states ?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The important parts of EU.

And Ireland is to far away and the common timezone would cause more trouble.
