About Central Standard Time (CST)
Central Standard Time (CST, IANA: America/Chicago, America/Mexico_City) is the time zone for the US Central region, central Mexico, and most of Central America, set at UTC-6:00. CST is the most populous US time zone by area covered and serves the Chicago-Dallas-Houston-Minneapolis corridor of ~80 million people across CST states (Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee western, Kansas eastern, Nebraska eastern, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky western, Indiana western, Michigan UP, Florida panhandle) plus Mexico (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey since 2022 DST abolition), Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Belize. CST observes DST (switching to CDT = UTC-5:00) per Energy Policy Act 2005 — except for Mexico nationally, which abolished DST in 2022 except for border zones aligning with US DST.

About Fiji Time (FJT)
Fiji Time (FJT, IANA: Pacific/Fiji) is the civil time of the Republic of Fiji, set at UTC+12:00. Fiji observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to FJST = UTC+13) from approximately early November to mid-January each year per Fijian government decree (the exact schedule varies by year — typically announced 1-2 months in advance by the Office of the Prime Minister). FJT is identical in offset to New Zealand Standard Time (NZST), Tuvalu Time, Marshall Islands Time, Wallis and Futuna Time, and Nauru Time. Fiji is one of the first inhabited countries to see each new calendar day (along with Kiribati's Line Islands at UTC+14 — the world's eastern-most permanent time zone), which has made Fiji a popular destination for 'first sunrise of the new year' tourism. FJT serves approximately 935,000 Fijian citizens across 332 islands (110 inhabited) including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Kadavu. Major FJT cities: Suva (94K city, 175K metro — capital on Viti Levu), Nadi (45K — main international airport gateway + tourism hub on western Viti Levu), Lautoka (53K — second-largest city), Labasa (28K — Vanua Levu commercial center), Ba (15K), Levuka (1K — historic former capital + UNESCO World Heritage Site). Affects: South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) Suva trading, Fijian sugar-cane harvest export shipping, and Coral-coast + Mamanuca-island resort tourism.
