# that Truk and Yap are UT +10, and Ponape and Kosrae are +11.
# We don't know when Kosrae switched from +12; assume January 1 for now.
+ # From Phake Nick (2018-10-27):
+ #
+ # From a Japanese wiki site https://wiki.suikawiki.org/n/南洋群島の標準時
+ # ...
+ # For "Southern Islands" (modern region of Mariana + Palau + Federation of
+ # Micronesia + Marshall Islands):
+ #
+ # A 1906 Japanese magazine shown the Caroline Islands and Mariana Islands
+ # who was occupied by Germany at the time as GMT+10, together with the like
+ # of German New Guinea. However there is a marking saying it have not been
+ # implemented (yet). No further information after that were found.
+ #
+ # Japan invaded those islands in 1914, and records shows that they were
+ # instructed to use JST at the time.
+ #
+ # 1915 January telecommunication record on the Jaluit Atoll shows they use
+ # the meridian of 170E as standard time (GMT+11:20), which is similar to the
+ # longitude of the atoll.
+ # 1915 February record say the 170E standard time is to be used until
+ # February 9 noon, and after February 9 noon they are to use JST.
+ # However these are time used within the Japanese Military at the time and
+ # probably does not reflect the time used by local resident at the time (that
+ # is if they keep their own time back then)
+ #
+ # In January 1919 the occupying force issued a command that split the area
+ # into three different timezone with meridian of 135E, 150E, 165E (JST+0, +1,
+ # +2), and the command was to become effective from February 1 of the same
+ # year. Despite the target of the command is still only for the occupying
+ # force itself, further publication have described the time as the standard
+ # time for the occupied area and thus it can probably be seen as such.
+ # * Area that use meridian of 135E: Palau and Yap civil administration area
+ # (Southern Islands Western Standard Time)
+ # * Area that use meridian of 150E: Truk (Chuuk) and Saipan civil
+ # administration area (Southern Islands Central Standard Time)
+ # * Area that use meridian of 165E: Ponape (Pohnpei) and Jaluit civil
+ # administration area (Southern Islands Eastern Standard Time).
+ # * In the next few years Japanese occupation of those islands have been
+ # formalized via League of Nation Mandate (South Pacific Mandate) and formal
+ # governance structure have been established, these district [become
+ # subprefectures] and timezone classification have been inherited as standard
+ # time of the area.
+ # * Saipan subprefecture include Mariana islands (exclude Guam which was
+ # occupied by America at the time), Palau and Yap subprefecture rule the
+ # Western Caroline Islands with 137E longitude as border, Truk and Ponape
+ # subprefecture rule the Eastern Caroline Islands with 154E as border, Ponape
+ # subprefecture also rule part of Marshall Islands to the west of 164E
+ # starting from (1918?) and Jaluit subprefecture rule the rest of the
+ # Marshall Islands.
+ #
+ # And then in year 1937, an announcement was made to change the time in the
+ # area into 2 timezones:
+ # * Area that use meridian of 135E: area administered by Palau, Yap and
+ # Saipan subprefecture (Southern Islands Western Standard Time)
+ # * Area that use meridian of 150E: area administered by Truk (Chuuk),
+ # Ponape (Pohnpei) and Jaluit subprefecture (Southern Islands Eastern
+ # Standard Time)
+ #
+ # Another announcement issued in 1941 say that on April 1 that year,
+ # standard time of the Southern Islands would be changed to use the meridian
+ # of 135E (GMT+9), and thus abolishing timezone different within the area.
+ #
+ # Then Pacific theater of WWII started and Japan slowly lose control on the
+ # island. The webpage I linked above contain no information during this
+ # period of time....
+ #
+ # After the end of WWII, in 1946 February, a document written by the
+ # (former?) Japanese military personnel describe there are 3 hours time
+ # different between Caroline islands time/Wake island time and the Chungking
+ # time, which would mean the time being used there at the time was GMT+10.
+ #
+ # After that, the area become Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands
+ # under American administration from year 1947. The site listed some
+ # American/International books/maps/publications about time used in those
+ # area during this period of time but they doesn't seems to be reliable
+ # information so it would be the best if someone know where can more reliable
+ # information can be found.
+ #
+ #
+ # From Paul Eggert (2018-11-18):
+ #
+ # For the above, use vague dates like "1914" and "1945" for transitions that
+ # plausibly exist but for which the details are not known. The information
+ # for Wake is too sketchy to act on.
+ #
+ # The 1906 GMT+10 info about German-controlled islands might not have been
