Facts
- The whole world takes 26 hours to reach January 1: from UTC+14 to UTC−12.
- Baker and Howland Islands (UTC−12) are last, but nobody lives there.
- Samoa and Tokelau moved west of the International Date Line on December 30, 2011, so they are now among the first.
- On New Year's Eve it is summer south of the equator, so Sydney (UTC+11) and Auckland (UTC+13) are on daylight saving time.
