I've seen a lot of maps but this one makes the most sense to me.
That one seems fairly reasonable, except that I think District 2 needs to be much bigger and cover a significant part of the Rockies. District 9 also needs to be bigger, if that's where all the grain is grown. I'd probably push District 8 further north, since that one is textiles and doesn't really depend on having a particular type of land or climate, and give District 9 most of that space.
Also, Panem sure seems to build a lot of stuff for a country that doesn't have any place that produces steel.
Elizabeth Bear's new book Range of Ghosts is coming out in a week - first in the new series. She let me pester her about food and worldbuilding a bit last week. Interview is up over here: [link]
Hunger Games question for books 2&3: Isn't
Seneca the gamemaker for book 2 and part of the rebellion?
Yes to the first, not really to the second. Why?
I can see why you'd have that question given how
he was deposed and all.
No to both. You have
him confused with Plutarch Heavensbee.
Huh, I could have sworn
he was the one that helps get her out in the second book.
It has to do with a plot point of the first movie,
which was cool, but I thought contradicted the later books.
Nope.
he's killed as punishment for the outcome, so in the second book, there's the effigy with his name on it to get the gamespeeps attention.
