Tijdzones

[Hendrik des Vinandy]

Eerder stuitte ik op Micraswiki al op een opzet van tijdzones. Maar de gebruikte aanduidingen zijn niet neutraal of internationaal. Daarnaast worden tijdzones op aarde regelmatig kunstmatig aangepast om gebieden in dezelfde tijdzone te laten liggen.

Ik heb een nieuwe indeling van tijdzones bedacht: Coordinated Micras Time (CMT).

Nog voordat er hier een reactie geplaatst is, wordt dit idee opgepikt in Natopia, zie hier.

Goed werk!

Inmiddels al contact gehad met Craitman en hij is erg enthousiast van het idee.

Dit heeft mij gebracht tot het volgende idee:

Standard for Coordinated Micras Time

With the wish for an international standard for time zones on Micras, the initiative of the Pallisican Scientific Standard Calendar has been further elaborated. This elaboration is that nations themselves can adjust the time zone or time zones to their political boundaries. The Royal Julius Civilis University is willing to manage the official map of time zones on Micras.

The following rules are observed:

Article 1
The Royal Julius Civilis University makes available a map of time zones, allowing nations on Micras to indicate their adaptation of time zones for their area according to the political map of the Micronational Cartography Society.

Article 2
All modifications are processed by the Royal Julius Civilis University on one official map of time zones. Adjustments can be refused if they do not correspond to the political map of the Micronational Cartography Society or adaptations of time zones in other nations without their consent.

Article 3
The Royal Julius Civilis University is entitled to adjust time zones on the basis of the political map of the Micronational Cartography Society.

Article 4
Hereby the current lay-out and names of the map are respected. No political boundaries, than the boundaries of time zones on political boundaries according to the political map of the Micronational Cartography Society.

I'm not sure what you mean by the assertion that the time zones under the PSSC system aren't "neutral or international." The designated time zones are almost entirely named after features on the neutral physical map. The only exceptions are the "Hammish" time zones. None of the names are really political or controversial in any way. They are in fact completely neutral, unless I'm missing your meaning.

The Government Imperial Republic of Shireroth commends the Royal Julius Civilis University on this project and offers it its full support.

Shireroth will abide by the University's Standard for Coordinated Micras Time, and will submit a proposal for timezones shortly.

Thank you for your reaction.

The name of the time zones under the PSSC system is not entirely neutral in my humble opinion. For example, Batavia would fall in the time zone "Far Western Benacian Time Zone", seen only from Batavia that is not 'far west'. The names "Benacian" and "Shire Sea" have no connection with the areas "Cibola" and "Jasonian Isles" within the same time zones.

Do you agree with me that adjusting time zones on the basis of political boundaries is a more realistic representation?

We will look forward to the proposal and thank you for supporting this initiative.

I do agree that adjusting time zones on the basis of political boundaries is a good thing, and I welcome the development. I didn't take that step with my own system because there simply wasn't any international interest in collaborating at the time. And I do see your point now that you have explained your issue with the names. My interpretation was that you were suggesting that the names were politically motivated, or that they were biased against certain countries. I understand now that this is not exactly what you were suggesting..

The Dolmen of the Republic of Inner Benacia has resolved to take part in the Standard for Coordinated Micras Time as indicated by the Royal Julius Civilis University.

On behalf of the Dolmen, I have the honour to confirm that the entirety of the Republic of Inner Benacia operates in CMT -10.

Feel like I should re-post Mercury's time zones as Joe posted them over in Arboria for some reason

Just to let you know, all of mainland Mercury has the same time zone (+9), North Antarctica is an hour ahead of Qavaqaqqaqqaniitqeqertaq, and the Franklin Islands are 3 hours ahead of Mercury, rather than 21 behind.

Talenore has the time zone CMT +4.

Basically, Mercury posted their time zones in the wrong place.

Greetings!
We, the Florian Republic would like to switch our timezones to CMT.
What actions do I need to do to adopt CMT?

[Hendrik des Vinandy]

Greetings,

Go to the CMT Micraswiki page:
https://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title ... icras_Time
Draw your desired time zone there, submit it here and I provide that adjustment in a new version of the map with time zones.

If I can advise you, I would like to give you the following:
The current territory of the Florian Republic is in CMT-2 and CMT-1, not in CMT. Would be logical if you opted for CMT-1. But the choice is yours.

[Mahmood Sadri]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "draw your desired time zone there"?

Thank you for your reply. Yes I agree, that is my plan to adopt CMT-1 for logistical reasons.

[Hendrik des Vinandy]

What I mean is that you, on the basis of the latest version of the map with time zones, can draw the time zones for your area yourself. See the "Standard for Coordinated Micras Time" in my post in this topic on February 14th.

In principle I do not draw, but I collect the drawings with requests for changes to the time zones on one map. Like the MCS also works.
