TBOSAS gave an intense look at the map of panem pre-president snow era, so I pieced it together to make a more official map than anything i've seen thus far. plus, i'm insane about fictional maps for literally no reason. [keep in mind, this is shitty screenshots that i've put together and the screen the map appears on (during lucky's weather report) appears to be rounded, so some of the proportions and such might be off. ] more stuff under the cut
so, these are the images i used to make this:
and i pieced them together as best i could, some of the borders, like the bottom right of 12 and the bottom of 5 became sort of a guessing game because they were covered up/hard to see.
doing that and cropping/pasting them together gave me this image (same as at the top of post)
red lines are clear country borders, yellow are district borders, purple is any of the areas i was unsure about. As we can see from this, districts 7, 10, and 13 (not labelled on this map because at this point in canon-time, it's 'gone') have no definite ending borders, so it's hard to even guess where they would end at. using this i made this more polished map using each district's colours that are listed on fandom dot com
the unclear edges are left blurred because really i don't know where they end...
we know that panem is formerly north america, so i laid the image over a map of north america and got this:
it took a little adjusting because again, my map is based off of a warped television screen, but, we end up with something like this. some interesting things to note is that a lot of coast has presumably eroded away as time passed -- we lost all of baja, and most of florida and socal, and some of virginia and north carolina, and many pieces of the mexican states, though none in their entirety . the places where panem extends over NA water spaces (districts 6, 7, 13) are either from receding water levels or translation issues from the warping of the in-movie screen... or, my own personal error, i guess lol.
again, as far as 7, 10, and 13, their end borders are up to speculation, but i'd imagine 7 extends up to near the edge of the northern canadian borders and maybe into alaska -- though i can't say because that's a huge chunk of space (it is the lumber district, though, so it probably goes as high as the trees are...). same goes for 10: i'd guess it goes south a bit more to near the nartual borders, but likely in any low-elevation areas (near the southern provinces) the sea has swallowed up the land. as for 13, it likely extends more near norther quebec and out toward the maritime provinces (though i'd estimate that most of those are either completely underwater or complete above it, so there's no islands going on). truly though, it's anyone's guess, so let me know your thoughts on it if you made it this far down!
future-panem, like during the events of the hunger games, definitely has changed district borders. we knows there's fencing and forbidden area, so the districts are definitely far smaller and there's space between them (no man's land) so that there is little-to-no communication between districts.
anyway, thanks for checking this out, i spent too much time on this to come out with very little practical use, but if you're like me and you like knowing where fictional locations are/how they're laid out, this is for you
Just out of interest if you were to assign every district a probability of having their tribute be victor what would it be?
I'm leaning towards-
District 1 (Luxury Goods): 25%
District 2 (Masonry and Defence): 30%
District 3 (General Electronics): 3%
District 4 (Fishing): 10%
District 5 (Power/Electricity): 4%
District 6 (Transportation): 4%
District 7 (Lumber): 5%
District 8 (Textiles): 3%
District 9 (Grain): 3%
District 10 (Livestock): 5%
District 11 (Agriculture): 5%
District 12 (Mining): 3%
I reckon in earlier games we'd see more of a lean towards Districts with either physical strength or proclivities towards weapons, namely Districts 2, 4, 7, 10 and 11, but once the Career Academies get set in place and Districts 1 and 2 become the powerful tributes they are in the original trilogy this would be the overall outcome.
how i would dress each district for the opening ceremony in the hunger games: district 6 (transportation)
now hear me out...... i had a vision for these outfits to be inspired by cars (and no, i'm not talking about the disney animated film)
of all the forms of transportation that have existed throughout history, from horse back riding to space crafts, there's something classic about everyday vehicles. idk if these types of cars still exist in panem but if not then the NOSTALGIA OF IT ALLLL
my first vision was something like this ^ like pls tell me these rick owens gowns are not taxi cab/school bus coded, i'm serious
then i discovered the ferrari 2022-23 collections, and how can you tell me that these are not a colossal slay
like GIRLLLLL IT'S GIVING MOTORSPORT BY MIGOS FT. NICKI MINAJ & CARDI B
also i had to give this moschino collection a moment too bc these traffic inspired looks are so creative like can you imagine the tributes arriving in these????? i would gag babe, this is couture
14 year old James Blackthorn is dying. The disease ravaging his body has no cure, especially in his home district of Six, and it kills all who it touches by 20 years old. Now, is that what inspired him to volunteer for the 72nd Hunger Games and save the sorry sob who would've been chosen? We can't really say. What we can say, however, is that the country of Panem made a mistake when they let him step into that arena.
Some bad sketches I did yesterday for the background tributes. Movie Hy and sol are such an underrated duo . Some love for sabyn because of how awkwardly they forgot about her in the scene where the tributes arrived, Otto had no chill with that crossbow (that I know I drew awkwardly). And of course the only named tributes from district 9 in the entire trilogy
Side note: I had no idea what the weapon that panlo grabbed during the bloodbath was so I went to the wiki and apparently it's a sword but I have no idea what kind of sword 🙃🥲
Intimidation. Assurance. Strength.
When we imagine how a Victor of the Hunger Games, must look like, the image does not stray much from Oliver Jackson.
The lesson of today will teach you everything you need to know about the 6th Hunger Games, the edition from where Oliver emerged victorious. Attendance is mandatory.
Intimidação. Certeza. Força.
Quando pensamos em com o que um Vitorioso deve parecer, a imagem que nos vem à mente não difere muito de Oliver Jackson.
Alunos, a lição de hoje irá cobrir a 6ª Edição Anual dos Jogos Vorazes, edição em que Oliver emergiu vitorioso. Lembramos que a sua presença em aula é obrigatória.
