From: "Clive D.W. Feather"
but on this world there are at least 6 million locations with a name - 2 million in the US <http://geonames.usgs.gov/>, 4 million in the rest of the world <http://164.214.2.59/gns/html/index.html> I suspect there are far more than 4 million named places in the rest of the world. GEOnet is the only free source I know of with this many 'official' names of 'features' as they call it, including cities, lakes, rivers etc. There is even a file with undersea features! Wonder what their time zones are....
From: Chuck Soper <chucks@lmi.net> region. I discovered one small country, Svalbard and Jan Mayer (SJ), that has two time zone regions. There are more, e.g. Portugal - Azores, but it's not difficult to find out which time zone one has to use. By the way, the TZ europe file says: # Although I could not find it explicitly, it seems that Jan Mayen and # Svalbard have been using the same time as Norway at least since the # time they were declared as parts of Norway. Is there any proof of "two time zone regions"?
