France amd Spain being +1 is apparently a relic from the 40s when Germany occupied France and the Spanish government felt they needed to switch to appease Germany. It is kinda funny neither switched back.

Germany changed it in occupied territories to simplify administration.

For some reason it never changed back despite being out of natural sync.

The same holds for the BeNeLux countries.
