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?

Yes trains and to a lesser extent telegraphs gave us time zones.

But now we have mass air travel and the internet.
