    Spain has the same timezone as Poland, despite most of Spain being west of Greenwhich, which is one hour later already.
    It is evident that the choice was made politically, with the message being that easy compatibility with the economies of France, Germany and Italy was more important, than the clock reflecting the course of the sun.
    Spain is the very example of the difficulties of timezone politics.
