Geography - Geographic terms - Time-zone records - Overseas territories
Which country has the most time zones in the world?
Correct!
France has more time zones than any other country. The surprising record results from its many overseas territories spread across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. Together, France covers 12 regular time zones; for part of the year, daylight saving time can bring the total to 13. Russia and the United States each have 11.
The record is explained mainly by France's widely scattered overseas territories, not by metropolitan France alone.
