Similar to ''Divergent'', the novel is set in a dystopian future version of the United States -- in this case, a MegaCity formed in the Northwest between Seattle and Portland. However, ''Poster Girl'' offers a unique PerspectiveFlip on the setting, focusing on the dystopian regime (known as the Delegation) after it has been overthrown by a revolution and replaced by an entity known as the Triumvirate. Furthermore, the book's protagonist, Sonya Kantor, initially factors into the story not as a brave rebel but as the titular "Poster Girl" for the Delegation, having been chosen as the face for its latest batch of propaganda posters before the Revolution took place.

** The Delegation had plenty of POC in positions of power, but Emily Knox (who is Asian) explains that everyone was financially incentivised to assimilate into the Delegation's heavily WASP-influenced culture and adopt Anglophone names, and that Sonya's family only kept their vaguely Russian (and vaguely Jewish) sounding last name "Kantor" because they could afford to. Sonya then remembers overhearing grownups at a dinner party saying that Nikhil (who is South Asian) made a smart decision by taking his white wife's name and naming his sons Aaron and [[spoiler:Alexander]].
