A few countries and territories have clear outlines on the map due to time zone decisions including: • China (officially just one time zone for the whole country, UTC+08:00) • Argentina, which is on UTC-3:00 time (should be UTC-4:00 or UTC-5:00) and which also only sometimes observes daylight savings time.

• Iceland, which is on GMT despite being significantly to the west of Greenwich.

• The Canadian province of Newfoundland, which has time zone that is 3:30 mins behind UTC (UTC-3:30) • India and Sri Lanka, which both use Indian Standard Time or UTC+5:30.

• Iran, which uses Iran Standard Time (UTC+03:30).

• Nepal which uses the Nepal Standard Time or UTC+5:45.

Which means if it’s 12pm UTC then it will be 5:45pm in Nepal.

Most Popular Cola Brands in Germany his map shows the most popular brand of cola soft drink in T each German Länder (State). Unsurprisingly, Coca Cola is the number one brand across the whole of Germany, but interestingly not in every single state.

The former Eastern German state of Thuringia (population 2.1 million), is the lone holdout, preferring Vita Cola to Coke. Never heard of Vita Cola? That’s not too surprising, since it was one of the German Democratic Republic’s (East Germany’s) national cola brands.
