Correct.

Most likely, there is a hard link involved somewhere.
London is a place the whole world knows and Guernsey may be a
little outpost of Heaven, for all I know, but I bet somebody,
somewhere did some customization, possibly when building the
distribution image since the idea is to pick a name that most
people recognize. You could do the same thing here with
America/Stillwater. The Stillwater I live in is in North-Central
Oklahoma and contains Oklahoma State University as it's biggest
industry. There is also Stillwater, Minnesota about a thousand
miles to our North. It also uses Central time and it's main
industry, from what I hear is the Minnesota State Prison, a
necessary but slightly different type of institution. It's
residents also learn a lot there and 90% of them will eventually
go forth in to the world and try their new skills so if you used
/America/Stillwater for Central time, you get at least two for
the price of one.
Yes, a bit of a joke but check your callendar.
