Many Clocks
How many time zones a country has
| Tier | Countries |
|---|---|
| 10 or more | 🇫🇷 France, 🇺🇸 United States |
| 5 to 9 | 🇬🇧 United Kingdom |
| 2 to 4 | 🇿🇦 South Africa, 🇰🇮 Kiribati |
| 1 | 🇨🇳 China |
France has 12 time zones because overseas territories count, and would have 13 only if its Antarctic claim were included. The United States has 11, the same as Russia, once Baker Island and Wake Island are counted, not the four zones of the mainland. The United Kingdom has 9, the same as Australia, almost all of them outside Great Britain. Kiribati has 3, including UTC+14, and South Africa has 2 only because of the Prince Edward Islands. China has 1. No country on the list has 6, 7, or 8, and the only 10 is Antarctica, which is not a country.
Source: Wikipedia, List of time zones by country. The number is the table's own count of standard UTC offsets. Dependent territories are included, Antarctic claims are not, and daylight saving is not an extra zone. Unofficial offsets count only when the table lists them, so Australia includes UTC+08:45 and China does not include Xinjiang Time. France is 12, not 13. See the source.
Just Independent
Newest UN member states, by year of independence
| # | Country | Year the current state became independent (year) | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🇸🇸 South Sudan | 2,011 | 9 Jul 2011 |
| 2 | 🇲🇪 Montenegro | 2,006 | 3 Jun 2006 |
| 3 | 🇹🇱 East Timor | 2,002 | 20 May 2002 |
| 4 | 🇵🇼 Palau | 1,994 | 1 Oct 1994 |
| 5 | 🇪🇷 Eritrea | 1,993 | 24 May 1993 |
| 6 | 🇳🇦 Namibia | 1,990 | 21 Mar 1990 |
South Sudan became independent on 9 July 2011 and joined the UN on 14 July 2011. It is the newest UN member state. Kosovo declared independence in 2008 and is left out because it is not a UN member. Czechia and Slovakia both date to 1 January 1993, the same year as Eritrea (24 May 1993), so Namibia (1990) is the sixth card instead of a tie.
