My favorite example is that of Australia.  A friend tells me that one year,
the end of DST was put off by one week by legislative fiat.  Why?  Well,
HRH Queen Elizabeth II came to visit that year, and if DST ended at the
canonical time, schoolchildren couldn't see her while it was still light
outside.
