Also if people want to search for a time zone by country name, I can't use that (and yes, for countries with multiple time zones, I'd at least average them out, which is better than nothing).

It seems to me that what you need is a list of towns and cities with whatever search terms you want to extract their latitude and longitude. That can then be looked up on a map (someone provided a reference earlier). It's no longer a simple lookup, but it's future-proofing and more likely to give the right and expected answer. jch
