Things about Liberia's time.
Liberia is one of the few African nations that sits right on the prime meridian. Because the country is so close to 0° longitude, its clock time matches solar noon more naturally than many neighboring countries. Unlike most of West Africa—which adopted the WAT timezone (GMT+1) to align with trade partners—Liberia kept GMT+0, giving it a solar-aligned time that suits its geography.
