Why not just compromise and settle on midway: -4.5, -5.5, -6.5, and -7.5 UTC offset? /0.5s

A 0.5s timezone is truly abhorrent. Congratulations.

The same place doesn’t have a rectangular flag too!

Actually, there are places (ok, i know of one, Switzerland) which don't have a rectangular flag but only a square one and have regular DST time/timezone.

I am afraid you are too late to the party.

Because once upon time they could not agree on the choice of either Western or Central time on the border between Western Australia and South Australia, they settled on a real compromise being UTC+08:45 («Australia/Eucla» in the TZ database) which is used in one area in the southeastern corner of Western Australia and one roadhouse in South Australia.

That is how real men settle their differences.
