37 offsets from UTC−11:00 to UTC+14:00 — a spread of 25 hours over a 24-hour day
Built as a memo rather than a table: the thing worth hanging it up for reads across the room, with the full reference in smaller type below it.
Three sizes in one archive — from a sheet on the fridge to a poster on the wall.
The ticks above the axis are offsets, not countries: dozens of countries may share one offset, and one country may hold several.
While it is already tomorrow at +14:00 (Line Islands, Kiribati), it is still yesterday at −11:00 (Niue, American Samoa, Midway), and in between it is today. The Earth carries 3 dates at once.
It lasts exactly 1 hour a day — the amount by which the spread (25 hours) exceeds a day. Neither edge observes summer time, so that hour neither disappears nor doubles in any month of the year.
Why the numbers can be trusted. Every countable number here is computed from data rather than typed in, and the sheet must pass 8 independent checks before it is allowed to build — how many items there are, the order they come in, and the claim in the highlighted box itself. If one fails, there is no file.
