How these times are calculated

How we calculate this: Each IANA time zone used in St. Lucia is evaluated when the page is generated: current offset and abbreviation, the next offset change within 12 months, and the standard offset. "Time zones" counts distinct standard offsets, except where the page names official zones and overseas territories in words. Multi-zone countries are referenced from the capital's zone.
Data sources: IANA time zone database (tzdata) via the server's Intl runtime; Unicode CLDR for date and time formats; Nager.Date for public holidays; REST Countries for capital, population and currency.
Update cadence: Regenerated at least hourly, so offsets and daylight saving labels follow clock changes. Holiday and country reference data come from snapshots that are refreshed manually.
