It is also referred to as the "latest time zone" on Earth, as clocks in it always show the 'latest' (i.e., most advanced) time of all time zones. UTC+14:00 stretches as far as 30° east of the 180° longitude line and creates a large fold in the International Date Line around the Pacific nation of Kiribati.
Each day on Earth begins at midnight in Greenwich, England, where the prime meridian is located. Originally, the prime meridian's purpose was to help ships at sea find their longitude and determine accurately their position on the globe.
American Samoa
Though, sadly for the Americans, it left American Samoa marooned, only 70km away but 24 hours apart (25 in summer). And then there's the Republic of Kiribati, which became independent in 1979 by combining three colonies – the UK's Gilbert Islands, and the Phoenix and Line Islands from the US.
As New Zealand is one of the first countries in the world to receive the light of each new day and the US is one of the last, there is a significant time difference between the two countries. The US also has several time zones, complicating the matter further.
