** {{Jossed}} by later games which reveal a contemporary setting, such as ''VideoGame/TouhouShinpirokuUrbanLegendInLimbo''. That being said, it's still possible for the series to take place in Touhou's far future, since the setting of the Hifuu stories implies things are headed toward being a CrapsackWorld, setting up the wars and disasters which led to The Hunger Game's AfterTheEnd setting.

** No "almost" about it. The least belieavable part of this series is that the Capitol lasted as long as it did. Seventy-five years of government-mandated child slaughter? This would have happened decades sooner. Or maybe this is just the story of the one that worked and all the failed ones just got sent down the memory hole...

*** They were called "dark skinned" in the books, and indeed, after the whole racist twitter debacle, Collins has stated that this definitely meant "black". The tweeters probably read around it, or took it to mean "well tanned" or ButNotTooBlack.

Plutarch likely had to be with the revolution before the 75th hunger games, given everything necessary to fit into place. Being in the capital and a gamemaker, he likely had access to things like video footage of everyone. He knew that a girl volunteering to take the place of her young sister would win over viewers, and it worked out better than he could have even imagined. Katniss is pretty predictable, so her volunteering was basically guaranteed to happen if Prim's name was drawn. Especially from a district where people just don't volunteer, and where there's only ever been ONE winner. Then he made promises to a number of tributes to NOT kill Katniss, and their families would be taken care of. Not all of them were in on it, but a few were. Namely Foxface, Clove, and Glimmer. Then he spent his time as a game maker making sure Katniss won. When she didn't team up with the careers, he pushed her toward Rue knowing that when Rue died, Katniss would honor her. (And Rue would eventually have to die anyway.) He also may have led others to their death in the name of the games. What he didn't count on, and what worked out better than he could've imagined, is that Seneca Crane would agree to the two winners per district thing. Once the capitol went back on their word, and Katniss chose the third option, it solidified her position as the mockingjay and symbol of the rebellion. Of course, he also didn't count on Coin preferring Peeta or Peeta not getting out of the 75th Hunger Games.
