Daylight Saving Time in your nation

[Valrem]

Originally DST was introduced here in 1916. It proved wildly unpopular and essentially got one president hounded out of office. DST was removed just 18 months after it was installed.

It was started up again in 1980 out of nessescity since that was the year a lot of other European nations adopted DST. There was a great deal of grumbling at the time but now it's just taken as a fact of life. In Valrem DST is coordinated with the European Union.

[Purpelia]

No daylight savings here. We find the wholde idea completely ridiculous.

What this guy said.

[Gisbourne]

We find the idea of changing clocks around to be ludicrous.

Exactly. What is the purpose behind this practice? What does it accomplish? It accomplishes nothing. Nothing at all.

[Leepaidamba]

Yes, just changed it.

[BrightonBurg]

We find the idea of changing clocks around to be ludicrous.

^^^ Brightonburg stays on stanard time in its canon..

Except it makes the sun go up earlier during winter, which is kind of handy because sunlight tends to be the natural "Alarm clock" for humans, it's not natural for humans to wake up in the dark but nonetheless, they have to go to work at say, 8 AM, now during winter, when you live north of the equator, it would still be dark at that time. But with daylight saving time, it wouldn't be dark...or at least it would be brighter than without it. On the other hand, during summer when a person wants to go to sleep it can still be bright, and a person can't really sleep when the sun is still shining. So, yes it DOES accomplish something, it prevents us from disturbing our Circadian rhythm

[Tired Goblins]

I don't see the point. We just get up when the sun goes down and stay active until daylight like any civilized goblins.

[Greater Rhodes]

DST is observed in the Kingdom of Greater Rhodes and occurs every Spring and Autumn equinox.

[Great Valencia]

No, timezones are pointless.

Our nation is huge, even bigger than Canada, but we have ONE time.

[Ravenvalles]

The idea of "Daylight Savings" is utterly ridiculous. A number is just a number. If you want to get up an hour later or an hour earlier do so. It is kind of like those people who set their clocks 10 minutes ahead to trick themselves to be on time for work, etc. They are the type of people who can scare themselves by looking into a mirror and yelling "BOO".

[Hirsan]

It's a ridiculous idea.

[Yasashii]

Yasashii does not engage in DST. It's not that we find it ridiculous so much as our longitude and latitude do not make it as necessary as other nations find it to be.

[Magdha]

No DST for Magdha.

[Saurisia]

Sure, we use DST, we do, we do!

[Rejistania]

No DST here. In a tropical nation with very little difference in terms of day length, it makes no sense.

[Haydenish People]

Why simulate changing time zones?

[Jankenjin]

It's a moot point for our nation. Our planet, Teiensekai, has almost no axial tilt, so the Sun rises and sets at the same time each morning and evening, every day of the year. There's no need to adjust our clocks.

[Anolil]

We don't do it here in Anolil.

[Pommernia]

We use it from the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November - Same as the US.
