+# Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST

+# standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its

+# (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time).

+# Tungi, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time
+# begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change.
