China has one time zone.  Saudi Arabia isn't under any time zone.
"official" clocks are set according to sunrise.


The USAF does quite a bit using Zulu time.   This is very useful for an
organization that moves fast across time zones.   Which leads me to
conclude:

An "official" time would be useful in determining when to teleport over to
Castle Black for a party from the other side of the Empire.   Let
everybody adjust to "Empire Standard Time".
