The ideal, technical requirement for an International Dateline would place it
exactly on the meridian of 180° longitude, all the way between the north and
south poles. But there are several places where that would have split a single
village, town, city, state, island, or group of islands into two different calendar
dates. (One of them would have been the state of Alaska, and therefor the USA.)
In order to avoid doing that, the Dateline was zigged and zagged in a number of
places, and substantial parts of it lie along different longitudes.
