Count of time zones listed for the country in Wikidata.
Why This Ranking Matters
Examining Time Zones Count across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.
Global Range
Values range from 1.00 time zones (Mayotte) to 16 time zones (United States) — a 16-fold difference across 248 countries.
Regional Patterns
The top 20 is globally diverse, with countries from 7 continents represented. No single region dominates, suggesting this metric is driven more by national conditions than by broad continental patterns.
Values are tightly clustered around the median of 2.00 time zones, with most countries falling within a narrow range. A few outliers at the extremes account for most of the overall spread.
Notable Outliers
United States holds a significant lead over Antarctica, with a 45% gap between first and second place. While several countries cluster near the top, the leader's margin is notable.
