A Map of the world showing where the local time zone is wrong
Transcription
A map of the world with vertical lines marking the time zones from UTC-12 to UTC+12. It has a legend:
Wrong Time
"Natural time zones" are 15° in longitude. Land in red observes a time other than the zone it lies within. Smaller islands depict their 12 nautical mile territorial sea, for visual effect. In some cases this includes a state's archipelagic waters.

Asia needs to get its shit together.
I don't think Asia on the whole is doing particularly bad. The projection makes it look worse because north Asia is the worst part of Asia, and the projection makes that part look much bigger than more southern parts.
The Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and southeast Asia are all great.
