The MOST Populated TIME ZONE In The WORLD!
January 13th 2008 00:05
With so many people living all over the world and with so much of our planet consisting of water, if you had to make a guess at the world time zone in which most people live, where do you imagine it would be?
You not only have to balance out water and land versus population, but also where those populations actually exist, that is to say that while it's fine to say that Australia only has 21 million people as the Australian Bureau of Statistics is now claiming, the majority live along the coastal areas due to the inhospitable nature of Australia's arid interior.
Considering the overall size of Australia, it is the complete antithesis of places such as the United Kingdom where just under 61 million people live in an area of land that could easily fit into Australia many times over.
The answer is believed to be GMT 8 which includes areas such as Taiwan, China and Malaysia. Almost a quarter of the world's population, close to 1,375 million people live throughout this time zone.
