AFTA Standard Time

AFTA Standard Time (UTC +8:30) is the time zone used in the Asian Free Trade Agreement, since its chartering. Yarphei at the time used UTC+8 and the EAF used UTC+9. In order to facilitate travel and trade between the countries. A compromise was made, putting both countries on a unified time zone unused since Changbai time was abolished. The time zone meridian runs through the Korean Peninsula, and the offset areas might experience sunrises from 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock in different parts of AFTA. In the Yarphese Teur Islands, which follow the AFTA Standard Time, residents will often observe 12-hour time with p.m. occuring before noon.

Yarphese free cities, except Admiralty Gulf and Kamchatka, do not observe AFTA Standard Time.
