If what we want is one time zone per country, let's have that conversation instead of having it happen by accident as a side effect of rules that don't mention countries. I agree.
But, if we want to talk about countries, what would surely be more useful is a list, for each country, of all the time zones that are at least partially in that country.

Do you really want to open this can of worms?
