Comment(by nbachiyski):

 The map implementation is not hard. Here is a half-an-hour-worth
 [http://nikolay.bg/mess/tz_poc.html proof of concept] using
 {{{<canvas>}}}. Move your cursor over Western Europe to highlight the
 entire timezone slice.

 There is some manual labour there:

 1. Formaly define all the slices of the map as polygons (we can add
 curves, too). CIA has a [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-
 world-factbook/reference_maps/pdf/time_zones.pdf good map] with all the
 timezones.

 2. Map each timezone to a slice of the map. It will take several hours of
 somebody's time, but it will be done just once.
