Probably UTC+1 as most of western Europe is in there, lots of people so more opportunities for me to make friends! Though UTC-8 has a lot of beautiful nature and the US west coast.

I thought Russia was one time zone

That was (edit:NOT) the USSR.

Weird, I’ve always thought that is was like China

You’re right, I don’t know what I was thinking. Other than “commies hate time zones.”

I think we are both wrong, China has one time zone. Russia and USSR did not.

What the heck is that map projection? It’s like Mercator on steroids.

That would be regular Mercator, actually. Greenland is as big as Africa in regular old Mercator projections.

Edit: although maybe with a slight uniform vertical squish

Same. Angola to Sweden - the variety of environments and food cultures are massive.
