how are time-zones calculated?
In: Other
They are political and not scientific. India is an interesting country that should have multiple time zones and will eventually split, but for unity and as part of the non-aligned political movement it went with a single time zone that was set off 30 minutes.
Spain is another interesting case. During the Franco regime it aligned its time zones to match with its ally Germany. Expect late sunsets in Spain as a result.
