Classification reflects the rules in force for 2026 in the IANA time-zone database, timeanddate.com and Wikipedia. “Partial” countries change clocks in some regions only. Morocco and Western Sahara shift for Ramadan rather than for daylight — and drop clock changes entirely from 20 September 2026. Europe's microstates (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican, Liechtenstein, Malta) follow their neighbours and are shown with them.
