literally where did people get that from. there’s NO implied canonical year in any of the hunger games book. not to mention, the first book was literally released in 2008 and in the books the games implied to be in the distant future.

north america was like completely destroyed, then a whole new nation was formed, and then there was a whole revolution; the whole first games in 2026 is giving LESS than two decades for all this to happen. although, yes, i do like to think of panem as a younger nation, it would’ve still needed to exist for at least a few decades before the dark days. the first revolution also lasted a few years (i forgot exactly how many, it’s been awhile since i’ve done a reread.)

this theory doesn’t make sense because all three of those things COULD NOT have happened in less than two decades.

i generally just do not like it when people try and give the hunger games any year with our current year system (B.C./A.D.). although what i do like that i’ve seen a couple of people use is the A.D.D (after dark days) system. not only does it prevent the timeline from aligning and or conflicting with ours, it also matches up with the games themselves (e.g. 74 A.D.D = 74th hunger games); which make it easier to figure out what games happened what year.
