Daylight Saving Time in Minecraftia

In Minecraftia, Daylight Saving Time, known as Summer Time (夏時間) in Western Minecraftia, is observed from the first Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. When this happens, the clocks are adjusted one hour ahead to make the day last longer during the summer. All but three provinces in Minecraftia observe Daylight Saving Time. Only one portion of Gatashima Province observes DST year-round.

The Western Minecraftia provinces of North Horudika, South Horudika, and Metsuru do not observe DST, and only part of one province, being Gatashima, observes DST yearround. The reason behind it was because when one crosses the border from Minecraftia to Japan, they enter Japan Standard Time. Western Minecraftia uses UTC+11 and UTC+12 during DST. To avoid having Japanese citizens lose two hours of time, they decided that they do not observe DST in those three provinces and leave them in Standard Time year-round, expanding the time zones of Minecraftia from two to three during this period.

History
The first Daylight Saving Time was observed in 1950, as a result of King Takaru requesting an extra hour of daylight for the Daylight Saving Act of 1950. DST only ran five months from the start of May and at the end of September during King Takaru's reign from his ascension in 1949 until his abdication in 1963.

Upon King Kenjirou's ascension, he suggested that DST be extended by another month to a total of six, with it ending at the end of October. This lasted until his assassination in 1982 when the Minecraftian Revolution began, King Soujirou suggested that DST be extended by another month, with it starting in April, extending the months from six to seven. After King Soujirou was impeached, his daughter Queen Konata passed a bill to extend DST by yet another month due to the Minecraftian Civil War outraging.
