Which country has the most time zones? #shorts #maps #countriesoftheworld

When you think about this question, you probably first think of Russia, which is often assumed to be the country with the most time zones due to its enormous size. However, the country has only 11 time zones, which is actually the same number of time zones as the United States. Interestingly the time zones in the U.S. do not run along the state borders, as one would assume.

In reality, France is the country with the most time zones. You might wonder how a country of its size can pull that off, but there's actually a very simple answer to that: colonialism. You see, France has small leftovers of its once gigantic colonial empire all over the world. That's how the country manages to be present in 12 of the 24 time zones. Or 13, if you count France's claim to Antarctica.

France 🇫🇷: Not that big, but has 13 entire time zones because of the leftovers of its colonial empire and oversea territories

Fun fact: countries can just decide what time zone they want to be in. There’s nothing stopping France from going with EST in Paris and New Zealand time everywhere else

Reality: The country with the most timezones is France with 13 timezones.

My Geography teacher: *It's China*

Fun fact, Spain should be GMT, the same as Britain, but Franco changed it to CET to align with Hitler's Germany.

[minebloxsteve]

France is also the 5th biggest country if you add all of its overseas territories, which most won't show because they care only about the mainland and occasionally larger islands
