Really? You will need to adjust your watch when you travel with in your own country or its colony!! Imagine, the central government in Great Nepal (which is on Nepal of RL), gives order to mobilize the army for attack on @@random nation@@ for 4:30 pm today to the Administration Office in Yemen in Middle east, now if the time zone for central government in Nepal is UTC +5:45 and Time Zone for Yemen is lets say UTC+3, so the troop mobilization will not be on time unless the time is converted from UTC +5:45 to UTC +3. But as we have maintained same time zone (UTC +5:45) through out the main land and all the colonies, there will not be a problem, and no time conversion will be necessary, thus saving time.

Converting is only a problem because you decided to make it one. It would be a lot easier if you didn't have the :45 thing at the end.

Not really, we made +5:45 as it is the line which passes through our central government. And even if we had whole number it would still be somewhat time consuming.

Our capital city is Edinburgh, which is UTC+3.

But our country's so huge that it goes from UTC+2 in Douglas all the way to UTC+11 in the Far East. Unless stated otherwise, times used refer to Edinburgher time.
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.
Frequently used abbreviations: HoS = Head of State; HoG = Head of Government; ML = Mid Lothian; KSS - Kate Stephens-Smith.
Fancy an embassy in ML? Click me for details. (PS - I'll return the favour.)
I am usually rewriting stuff about Mid Lothian - just because it's true today isn't necessarily true tomorrow.

Warning - Full-time Grammar Nazi at work. You have been warned. (I guess that's due to my mum being an English teacher. Also, don't use masculine words to describe me - my name is Rebecca, which is clearly a feminine name.)

Yeah, but adding the 45 is very comformist and most of our citizens don't like. The government tried the add 45 system but prostesters kept prostesting. So, we kept it.

I take it your people are just slow then. For the rest of us, it doesn't take any time at all to figure out that 14:27 on UTC+3 would be 16:27 on UTC+5.

Though it is much easier if same time zone is maintained all over empire. You dont need to do all those calculations. One Nation, One Leader, One Law, One Time Zone.

Whatever, its easy to convoy orders when there is same time zone through out empire. We find there is no use of have different time zone in one countries colonies.

Then you have a problem if you have an empire smaller than your central government's garden. Imperial Britannia, for example, used to be on several time zones but was made into one because it was inconvenient, yet they were only 150 miles wide. We struggle to see how you don't have difficulties conveying orders with that time system.

In Antjepolis, our capital city, it's 1:30 ahead of GMT, as we aim to keep the time zones closely aligned to the 15 degree rule. Add one hour for DST.

It depends on where the colonies are. If they closier together they, you can have the same time zone. If they fether apart and are pobabilby are half way cross the world or (ocean) from each other a different time zone is better.

The point of different time zones is that they relate to day/night. So that if somebody says it's 3am you know it's night for them, rather than saying it's 12pm but not knowing if if's night or day. How can you have afternoon tea if you're sleeping at 3pm because it's night?

First of all time zones isn't a national thing, is regional thing. Second (example)if the main land is far way and it's night time over there, it's mourning in one colony and afternoon in another. They have specail laws, that say go to bed in 11:00pm and they have one time time zone. The coloniests would have to sleep during the day. This leads to prostests and revlovltions. Thrid it' better for trade with other nations in the same region because they have the same or almost the same time zones as that neiborghing colony.
