    And France is the only one country that spans across all time zone on the globe.

      I’m pretty sure that French territory doesn’t span all time zones on the globe.

      hits Wikipedia

      Yeah. They’re in a lot, but certainly not all.

      French territory:

      Time zones:

      Take, say, UTC+8, to pick one arbitrary zone.

        If you‘re so picky, I‘ll as well. I wrote it spans across, not includes all.

          But what does that mean? Does Australia span all timezones? Take its zone of UTC+9:30 and then go all the way around the globe to the east until you hit UTC+8 which is also Australia. Congrats you passed through all timezones and are in Australia again.

          So you only need 2 areas in 2 time zones and boom you span all of them? How would you define “span” for something like this on a globe?
