Oceanic Taatiklarian Time



Oceanic Taatiklarian Time is a time zone used in the Taatiklarian provinces of Pua and Conuctia. It is part of the wider CST−04:00 time zone, meaning it is four hours behind Cyprus Standard Time. 13% of Taatiklatar's population lives within this time zone as of the C.Y. 250 census.

Early in Taatiklatar's history, all areas of the country used East Taatiklarian Time or West Taatiklarian Time. The at the time independent Pua used Oceanic Time, but northeastern Taatiklatar did not. Even when Pua was annexed by Taatiklatar following the C.Y. 85 Puan annexation referendum, it remained the only area of the country to use the time zone. However, Conuctia adopted the time zone in C.Y. 162 due to its similar longitude to Pua and local anger over the early sunrise and sunset times. This change also slightly elevated the popularity of the small Northeastern Chanortia provincehood movement, which seeks to have northeastern Chanortia become its own province due to its greater connection with Conuctia than the Alakina-influenced southern Chanortia; the popularity of this movement was elevated since in Taatiklarian law, time zones must be the same across provinces, and the area's eastern longitude and close connections with Oceanic-observing Conuctia made many support a switch to Oceanic Time there.
