About the time in Empire
Sunrise today lands at 06:55 and sunset at 08:38 local time, giving 13h 42m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (44.81, -86.06) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Empire.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Empire day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Empire is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −4 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
