Transnistria time
[edit]> Removed the de-facto state Transnistria, because only de-jure (internationally recognized) countries and their dependencies are listed.
- In this case you should move Moldova to the section "Number of time zones - 2" beacause Transnistria has different from other Moldova time zone. 77.236.35.44 (talk) 13:41, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
> Added that Kosovo is a partially recognised state.
- In this case Abkhazia, North Cyprus, South Ossetia, Western Sahara, etc. also should be mentioned as the same category. 77.236.35.44 (talk) 13:41, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
- I also removed Kosovo and Taiwan as they according to international law de-jure part of Serbia and China respectively, and who share the time zone or the use of or not of the daylight saving time with each of them.
- Among the de-facto states Transnistria is indeed the only one which switched to a different time zone and which also does not use daylight saving time, unlike Moldova from which it unilaterally seceded.
- However, the de-facto states of Abkhazia, North Cyprus, South Ossetia, Western Sahara, are also in the same time zones of the countries they are according to international law de-jure part of (or in the case of Western Sahara, which is not de-jure part of Morocco, the status is contested), and also coincidentally either use daylight saving time or not along each de-jure country who claims them.
