Did you set the right time?

Time zone

The entire Grand Mastership of Vanguardia, like the United Kingdom, belongs to the Western European Time Zone (CET+1), although the time change has only occurred on the same days in March and October since 1985. A sea voyage undertaken by Yvez Meridien around 1780 gave rise to the idea of a standard time. As a captain, he sailed with his crew from South America to Rosfleur and had to determine when the rum barrels should be opened upon crossing the equator. This is likely why the lines of latitude are named after him today, as every sailor welcomed this idea.

Monheur

In three remote villages in the far east of Neustria, alternative astronomical clocks still display the regionally valid time, Monheur (Mh). However, the conversion to ISO time based on lunar phases during rising tides is mathematically so complex and demanding that the conversion has been officially discontinued since January 1, 1968. Therefore, no one really knows how far behind the moon these three villages actually live. Nevertheless, it remains a popular tourist activity to have visitors' watches set to Monheur, thus delaying their departure by a few hours, since the ferries in Neustria do not use both time systems.
