How do I set GMT-2 timezone?

I live in Buenos Aires and until now I had my time zone set to that and it was ok (GMT-3). Now it was decided to use GMT-2 in my country but I don't find any way to set the clock to that timezone. Is there zoneinfo data for arbitrary GMT* times? (Like GMT-1, GMT-2, GMT-3, etc...) or I have to find a country that uses GMT-2 and set that country as my own?

The problem is that I don't find any country that uses that timezone, WP list these countries as using that timezone:

UTC−2 is used as offset for:
Brazil—Ocean Islands
Fernando de Noronha, Trindade, Martim Vaz, etc.
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Saint Pierre and Miquelon (daylight savings time)

And I didn't find any of them.

Wait until sys-libs/timezone-data-2007k hits Portage. See bug #203921
