Explanation

The answer is 11 because Russia is the largest country in the world, spanning multiple geographical regions. Each region follows its own standard time zone, resulting in the vast number of time zones within the country. These time zones include Moscow Standard Time (MSK), Yekaterinburg Time (YEKT), Omsk Time (OMST), Krasnoyarsk Time (KRAT), Irkutsk Time (IRKT), Yakutsk Time (YAKT), Vladivostok Time (VLAT), Magadan Time (MAGT), Sakhalin Time (SAKT), Kamchatka Time (PETT), and Kaliningrad Time (KALT). This large number of time zones accommodate the significant east-west extent of the country, ensuring that the nation operates on a consistent time basis throughout its various regions.
