No, Japan doesn't do it, and many many other countries too.

No. Just in the United States. It was created in World War 2. It gave the work day one added hour of daylight for factory workers building tanks and other armored vehicles for the War Effort.
During World War 2 and for years after, all states did it. Then A few states stopped doing it, Arizona, Indiana were just to name a few. Arizona is now the last hold out. I just heard recently that Arizona more than likely next year will conform back, meaning now all states are going to do it.
P.S. Hawaii is exempt because it wasn't a state durring World War 2. It did not become a state untli 1959.

no, but it's not just in the US, we have it in Europe. I think it was invented in England during the war.
Close to the equator the days are pretty much always the same length so it doesn't make sense there.
In Saskatchewan, Canada (which is not near the equator) they don't do it. Bugs the cows or something. (Most of the rest of Canada does.)
And obviously in the Southern Hemisphere it goes the other way.
