    Some interesting peculiarities:

    - Montreal (Quebec) is missing; use America/Toronto instead.

    - Most countries are listed by their capital cities, but some are listed by their country name:
    — Jamaica instead of Kingston
    — Malta instead of Valletta
    — Costa Rica instead of San José
    — Puerto Rico instead of San Juan
    — Qatar instead of Doha
    ...or their largest city:
    — Guayaquil instead of Quito, Ecuador
    — Casablanca instead of Rabat, Morocco
    — Karachi instead of Islamabad, Pakistan
    — Johannesburg instead of Pretoria / Bloemfontein / Cape Town, South Africa

    - Some countries are not listed at all, e.g. British Virgin Islands (Road Town), Malawi (Lilongwe), Sint Maarten (Philipsburg)
