The '''New Longwoodshire Settlement Scheme''' was a plan by the colonial government of [[Rwizikuru#Self-government|Riziland]] to bring in immigrants from [[Estmere]] to the northern regions of the [[New Territory]]. First organised in 1937, the scheme was designed to attract 100,000 Estmerish settlers to the area by 1947.
'''Rwizikuran Standard Time''' ('''RST'''), historically known as '''Riziland Standard Time''', is the sole time zone of [[Rwizikuru]], with Rwizikuru's time zone being an offset of {{wp|UTC|UTC+3:45}}.


==History==
(TBC)
The time zone of Rwizikuru was originally calculated by being based on the location of [[Signal Hill Observatory]] in [[Port Fitzhubert]], with '''Riziland Standard Time''' first being defined in 1866 as being "when the sun rises at its highest point over Signal Hill" (i.e. giving the colony an offset of {{wp|UTC|UTC+03:51:04}}).
 
The adoption of the time zone was necessitated by the fact that the colony straddles both {{wp|UTC+3:00|UTC+3:00}} and {{wp|UTC+4:00|UTC+4:00}}, while the desires of the [[Estmere|Estmerish]] officials to have a singular time zone for the Colony of Riziland meant that it was more convenient to apply the time used in Port Fitzhubert to the rest of the colony.
 
However, well into the early 20th century, local time continued to be widely used outside of government offices, with [[Port Graham]] {{wp|de-facto}} using what was colloquially known as local time as late as 1911, with an offset of {{wp|UTC|UTC+03:39:38}}. Thus, in 1913, the colonial government simplified the official time zone in Riziland from UTC+03:51:04 to UTC+03:45:00, with the calculation made by averaging the times used in Port Graham and Port Fitzhubert, and ensuring that the time would "always be three hours and forty-five minutes ahead of [[Morwall]]." The colonial government also required that all public clocks use Riziland Standard Time, as opposed to local time.
 
During the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], temporary {{wp|daylight saving time}} was introduced in 1928, with clocks advancing to {{wp|UTC|UTC+04:45}} year-round. Following the fall of Estmere in 1929, however, Riziland Standard Time was replaced with [[Eastern Bahian Time]] ({{wp|UTC+4:00}}) in eastern parts of the colony, while western parts of the colony adopted [[Central Bahian Time]] ({{wp|UTC+3:00}}).
 
After the end of the Great War and the liberation of Riziland, Estmere would apply Riziland Standard Time to the mandates of [[Yekumavirira|Kigomba]] and [[East Riziland]], thus necessitating clocks in those regions to advance forward 45 minutes in TBD and advance backward 15 minutes in [[Sainte-Germaine]].
 
This time zone would remain after independence, although in 1947, the time zone was renamed to '''Rwizikuran Standard Time''' to reflect the country's name being changed from [[Rwizikuru|Riziland]] to [[Rwizikuru]]. The area of the time zone would be reduced further after the conclusion of the [[Mabifian-Rwizikuran War]] and the [[Garamburan War of Independence]] in 1969, with [[Yekumavirira]] readopting Central Bahian Time and [[Garambura]] adopting Eastern Bahian Time.
 
==Daylight saving time==
Apart from a brief period during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], Rwizikuru never used {{wp|daylight saving time}}, due to its location near the equator.
