Those places west of the 180 longitude... East Russia, for example. It is quite obvious if you think about it, isn't it?

Check a map of the world and the country closest to the international dateline , on the left hand side, will be considered the first to recieve the sunlight for the new day and first for every other time event.
Looks like NewZealand or perhaps one of the Islands a little higher up.
