Time zones are tricky, because it’d establish that the New Year would begin equally everywhere - which simply is not the case. I’d prefer to keep them. Just as Discord has a hammertime function that uses the Unix time format to display dates flexibly, that could be an idea. You could implement that time formats automatically are given in such a format, so that everyone sees at what time it is. Problem solved!
But if you had to, I would suggest to pick the line between Russia and the US, since almost nobody lives there (or even around there, save for New Zealand and Hawaii), and there are almost no islands there. This whereas on both sides of the line between Greenland and Iceland, there is a wide expanse with many people.
