Cuba (-0500) was at some point planning to change to +1900, to be the first country in the year 2000. If that would have happened, what do you think Kiribati (+1200, the first country to celebrate 2000 in reality) would have done? (They would have gone to +3600, of course; and perhaps even change back to +1200 at noon, 1 Jan 2000: "celebrate the new millennium twice!!!").
