No DST usually means that solar noon is at 12:00 somewhere in the timezone. There are many places in the US of equal longitude but differing timezones.

The timezones are supposed to be small enough to be accurate +/- 30 min of the actual solar noon.

In some countries, even to +/-15 min - Russia comes to mind.
