Just to clarify what some people may find confusing: These timezones are not commonly used by people
in real life. They come from the tz/olson database which includes many, many more timezones than
people typically use in normal life. You aren't going to find a timezone like PST or EST
because those shorthands encompass several "actual" timezones which just happen to usually
have the same UTC offset.
The timezones are also not necessarily tied to specific countries or cities. They are based on
geographic areas that have had distinct time offsets from the rest of the world at any point in the
past, and are typically named for the most recognizable/most populous city in the region.
