Yes, there is such a country.
China spans five time zones. However the Chinese have "joined" their five time zones together and use just one nationally. Which means some parts of the country don't get to see the sun rise until 10am in Chinese national time.
Yes, countries that used to have multiple time zones but now have only one are...
China is the large country that spans four time zones but keeps all clocks set the same nationwide. China follows a single time zone known as Beijing Time (GMT+8) across the entire country.
All time zones are set by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
While the six countries in Central Eurasia ( Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) all have one time zone each for a total of six. Russia at one time had as many as eleven separate time zones. In 2010, two of the eleven zones were abolished and it currently has nine. So the total of time zones in Russia and Central Eurasia is fifteen.
Yes, the majority of countries around the world use time zones to regulate and synchronize time within their territories. However, there are some exceptions, such as countries that use a single national time zone or have unique timekeeping practices.
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. Therefore, sunlight doesn't always hit in the same spot all the time, so time zones have to be out of proportion.
Africa
Each country chooses its own time zone(s), and 39 is the total number of different time zones that all of the world's national governments have chosen.

All continents have time zones. It is just that the continents are so big that they have many time zones in them.

Canada uses 6 primary time zones, Unlike the United States that uses 9 primary time zones. ALL time zones go from east to west. CANADA'S TIME ZONES ARE: * Newfoundland * Atlantic * Eastern * Central * Mountain * Pacific UNITED STATES' TIME ZONES ARE: * Atlantic * Eastern * Central * Mountain * Pacific * Alaskan * Hawaii-Aleutian * Samoa * Chamorro The US and Canada have 5 time zones in common. Since there are more then one time zones within Canada and the US, we can't just say "The difference is ______" and give you a straight answer. Canada and the US have different time zones and they were listed. EDIT: Depending on whatever time zone or country (US or CANADA) you are in, the difference should be asked between the two time zones. EXAMPLE: "What is the time difference between Eastern time to Hawaii-Aleutian time?"
Time is determined by which time zone you are in. Also a great way to find out what time it is around the country is look for a global clock it shows you all the time zones from different countries.

All time zones make their way through the 'topics': there is no 'tropical time zone'. Antarctica has no time zones. Research stations set their clock so as to coordinate with their support countries' time zones. There is no standard.
