Did You Know?
Timor-Leste restored its independence on 20 May 2002, making it one of the youngest sovereign states in the world. Roughly two-thirds of its population was born after the referendum that led there.
The clock: Dili keeps UTC+9, an hour ahead of Indonesian Bali to its west and the same as Tokyo far to its north — a deliberate break from Jakarta's zone.
