Anyway, it would be a nice feature to let the user see what was automatically selected, and if this is plausible.
The macOS time zone selector draws a world map, showing the "time zone", in the "what you see on those time zone maps" sense, with a red pin at your location, and giving the name of your current time (e.g., Pacific Standard Time, as we're not on summer time) and of the closest city.
A map is fine as long as you see one. ;-) If there is no map then a plausible location name would be good. For example, I'm in Germany and usually the displayed location name is Europe/Berlin, and (at least for current zone rules) it wouldn't make much difference when I selected Europe/{Stockholm|Oslo|Amsterdam|Paris}. However, folks who are not so familiar with this kind of stuff would probably be confused if they see Stockholm instead of Berlin for their time zone.
