Two possible answers here:
Information from the
zone.tab
file. As it happens, just today another contributor mailed the list with an hg clone which uses this data. I haven't looked at it yet, but hope to do so over the weekend - and after a bit of massaging, we'll hopefully get it into the 1.1 branch.Information from CLDR. This provides suggested example cities to present to a user - it's designed for exactly this purpose (even localized, I believe). However, you'd need to integrate this with Noda Time yourself; we don't currently have any code for this, and just getting to grips with CLDR will take some time.
Apologies for this not being solved out of the box - but we're aware of it and hope to provide an answer over time.
