Derivative timezone?

Is it possible to create a timezone which is a derivative of an
existing timezone? I'd like to create one which is several hours
different ahead of America/Chicago, but follows Chicago's DST changes.
My initial attempt was to create a timezone object using pytz:
tz = pytz.timezone("America/Chicago")
then add eight hours to its _utcoffset attribute, but that doesn't
work. Is "creative" timezone construction possible, or am I limited to
what pytz finds in the Olson database?
Thx,
