The special area of "Etc" is used for some administrative zones, particularly for
"Etc/UTC" which represents Coordinated Universal Time. In order to conform with the POSIX
style, those zone names beginning with "Etc/GMT" have their sign reversed from what most
people expect. In this style, zones west of GMT have a positive sign and those east have a negative
sign in their name (e.g "Etc/GMT-14" is 14 hours ahead/east of GMT.)
