Mapmakers are free to draw it as they please. 108958787Sru# Reputable mapmakers will simply ensure that every point of land appears on 109058787Sru# the correct side of the IDL, according to the date legally observed there. 109158787Sru# 109258787Sru# When Kiribati adopted a uniform date in 1995, thereby moving the Phoenix and 109358787Sru# Line Islands to the west side of the IDL (or, if you prefer, moving the IDL 109458787Sru# to the east side of the Phoenix and Line Islands), I suppose that most 109558787Sru# mapmakers redrew the IDL following the boundary of Kiribati. Even that line 109658787Sru# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific 109758787Sru# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international 109858787Sru# convention, but are not legally binding national borders. 109958787Sru# 110058787Sru# An Anglo-French Conference on Time-Keeping at Sea (June, 1917) agreed that 110158787Sru# legal time on the high seas would be zone time, i.e., the standard time at 110258787Sru# the nearest meridian that is a multiple of fifteen degrees. The date is 110358787Sru# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some 110458787Sru# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not 110558787Sru# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the 110658787Sru# correct date is ambiguous. 1107
