Russia! With all of those time zones, it had to be a very large country! And, Jim, Joani, Elaine, Doris, Peyton, and Michelle were on the mark with the correct answer.
"Le Metro"
The Paris Metro is world-renown! Despite our inability to speak the native tongue, we had no problems using the transit system to get around. People were friendly enough to offer directions when we looked lost. Even the Metro fare collectors managed sufficient English to help us find our way. The stations were filled with maps of the various lines and the walls had signage to point you in the right direction!
One day we watched three heavily armed soldiers enter the station and walk its length. They boarded a train and got off at the next stop.
This was one of the signs outside of the subway station. Here is the other one found in the upscale neighborhoods.
