There's a tradeoff between subdivisions per country and the UX that causes for timezine picker dropdowns in making everyone else scroll past all the US, Canada, India etc. subdivisions

Given that there's 600 entries anyway, you really want to use one of those dropdowns that also lets people search by substring. Or a clickable map.

You can't really escape the fact Europe/ is going to be after Africa/ and America/ and Antarctica/ and Asia/ and Australia/ and Canada/ and Etc/

Ubuntu has had a map-based graphical picker for a long while.
