Which two cities in the world have the biggest time difference?

I think it's between Western Samoa (GMT - 11) and Fiji (GMT + 12).
- Correction:
It is between New Zealand and Samoa and it is a 24 hour difference during the Spring/Summer of New Zealand
- Fiji is 1 hour behind the time in New Zealand (during the later half of the year)
- New Zealand is the first country to see the sun come up on New Years. (Along with Antarctica which shares the same time as New Zealand )
UPDATES:
Western Samoa switched to the west side of the international date line in December 2011. Their offsets are now UTC + 13 hrs. during standard time and UTC + 14 hrs. during summer time or daylight saving time (the last Sun. of Sept. until the 1st Sun. of April, the same as New Zealand).
Currently the time zone that is farthest ahead is UTC + 14 hours, which includes:
- Kiribati's Line Islands Time (LINT)
- New Zealand's Tokelau Time (TKT)
- Western Samoa Summer Time (WSST)
The inhabited time zone that is currently farthest behind is UTC - 11 hours, which includes:
- New Zealand's Niue Time (NUT)
- the United States' Samoa Standard Time (SST), which is shared by American Samoa, the Midway Islands, Jarvis Island, Palmyra Atoll and Kingman Reef
So the biggest time difference is 25 hours. I guess you could say that the biggest time difference belongs to, among others, New Zealand and New Zealand.
Baker Island and Howland Island, which are under the jurisdiction of the United States, are in UTC - 12 hours, but they are officially uninhabited.

Correction: It is 24 hours between Auckland, New Zealand and Samoa. (during the later half of the year - New Zealand's Spring/Summer) and 23 hours during the first half of the year.

∙ 11y agoThe earliest time zone is 14 hrs. ahead of UTC. Tokelau and the Line Islands of Kiribati are in that zone all year. The latest inhabited time zone is 11 hrs. behind UTC and includes Midway, American Samoa and Niue. The time difference is 25 hrs.

∙ 12y agoDuring the Summer (Daylight Saving) in the US, Chatham Island (New Zealand ) is 16 3/4 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. If it is noon on Saturday in New York, it is 4:45am on Sunday on Chatham Island.
Rawaki (Pheonix Islands/Kiribati) in the Pacific is 17 hours ahead when the US is in Daylight Saving Time. When it is noon on Saturday in New York, it is 5am in Rawaki, Kiribati.
Interestingly enough the time on Rawaki and Apia (Samoa) is exactly the same when Samoa is in Standard time. However there is a 24 hour time difference. When it is noon on Saturday in Apia, Samoa it is noon on Sunday in Rawaki.
New Zealand's North and South Islands which includes the major cities of Auckland and Christchurch are 16 hours ahead when the US is in Daylight Saving Time.

World clocks should display various times for countries, rather than cities. It would be much more difficult to interpret time based on cities, as one might not be that familiar with the more obscure cities.
