and even more so with lines 4450-4452:

  /* Time zone determined from country code.  To make this possible, the
     country code may not span more than one time zone.  In other words,
     in the USA, you lose.  */

Countries with several timezones are the large ones: Russia, China, India,

Unfortunately, there are also populated (with users, I mean)...
For them, a different mechanism seems to be needed.
