Ngerulmud does not change its clocks
A fixed offset, all year round
Ngerulmud stays on Palau Time at UTC+09:00 every day of the year. There is no spring-forward or fall-back here, which puts it with the majority: most of the world's time zones do not observe daylight saving.
That sounds like it makes scheduling simpler, and locally it does — but it introduces a different trap for anyone working with Ngerulmud from a country that does change clocks. The offset between you and Ngerulmud is not constant: it changes when your clocks move, even though nothing changed here. A recurring call that has run at the same local time for months will shift by an hour, from your side, without anyone editing the invite.

Dates in the next year where the difference shifts, by counterpart city
