panem map

As far as I know, we aren't using a map as an actual basis of our RP (maybe when the movie comes out and/or Collins actually makes one). How I personally founded these places were by basing a few locations on these facts/theories:

- District 4 is located on or near the Mississippi River, towards the south. By history, the river was best used for transporting goods in the US; and, without a doubt, they are near the Atlantic Ocean if that is the case.

- ^ Why I wouldn't say that they are in California or near the Pacific Ocean is because the Capitol is said to have been placed where the Rocky Mountains gave them an advantage to detect the Districts during the Rebellion. As there is more ground to the east of the Rocky Mountains for the Districts to thrive, it makes more sense for me to picture the Capitol to the west of the Rocky Mountains, with no other District to the west of said range.

- For some odd reason (maybe from this RP and their own theories xD ) I pictured District 12 to be in the south, to the east. Specifically in the Florida/Georgia area. Don't ask me why; I just always saw it this way. lol


Just my own personal observations/imagination. Feel a bit confident on the Capitol bit, though.

By-the-by, we have had discussions saying that Panem may as well encompass all of North America, not just the US. There may have been a mention of it being all of North America and not US. (Then again, I never reread the series so I wouldn't know for sure.)

First off, since when did we start basing facts off of the movie?

Secondly, what might be true for one district could be different for another. For instance, D11 is supposedly very big as it is an agriculture district which means it needs a lot of land for its produce.

Thirdly, I'm not sure if it's true, but I don't think every space has to be occupied in a district.
