Still, I have to know something about the different time zones for my story’s sake.
sigh More frustration. LOL!

Yes, I am, haha. And yeah, I generally look up little things like that for my story too, but I also know since my world is mine I can go as nuts with certain things, like time, as I want.

True. You can afford to be wild and creative with certain things for worldbuilding.
LOL!

There’s 24 of them, 1 for each hour of the day. They are used to help keep 6 a.m. close to sunrise, globally, since we have so many added complications to keeping daylight to daytime hours. The lines jag around because states and countries don’t automatically fall in one time zone and keeping 2 separate times for smaller governments is a pain in the buttox. Expansive nations like the US and Canada just deal with multiple timezones.
We wouldn’t need it if we didn’t have clockwork. Sun dials would just keep local time and otherwise we would be up at sunrise and down at sunset, sometimes waking in the middle of the night for a split sleep if the night is long.

I tend to look up perfectly ordinary, normal things…but then they turn out to be weird, scary and strange. Like, yesterday I needed to know everything R. Kelly has ever done to women and children for a book I’m writing about misogyny.
Argh. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

Yup, and he also liked to hold young girls hostage and deny them food so they’d stay the same size until he tired of them. I think his sentencing is coming up in a few months, so I’m sure the media will bring it all up again and refresh our memories about all his weird power tripping fetishes. (-᷅_-᷄๑)

Not for a book. But I saw it mentioned so I looked it up and I’m stumped.
Molar pregnancy.

I must now research…
It isn’t in no way strange but I had to look up city state to know if what I was thinking of is a city-state.
Turns out that I could be wrong…I think. I am looking for a city that is large and vast enough to be an entire nation.
Can anyone help me out with this one?

Google is our friend XD: The definition of a city-state is a state that contains an independent city which is not administered or governed by another government. Examples of city-states are Vatican City, Monaco and Singapore . A sovereign city, as in Ancient Greece, often part of a federation of such cities.

So, it is right? A massive city can be made into a country, correct?

It’s a city that is created on its own, not by another government that says “hey you’re a state” and it’s ruled by its own government, not one that may rule the surrounding land, etc.
Size has nothing to do with it.
