A thought about The Hunger Games

It's not a really important aspect of the story -- but I find myself wondering where all the other districts besides the 12th are located, especially Rue's. I think District 11 is probably spread across Northern Illinois and Missouri, based on the variety of crops that are grown there without irrigation. If global warming made the seas rise, the Deep South would likely be mostly underwater, and what was left I'd bet would be too hot for human habitation, so it certainly wouldn't be there. If they use irrigation in Panem, it could also be in Oregon's Willamette Valley, Eastern Washington, or even part of Saskatchewan. The character of Rue and her fellow tribute seem to fit well with the current character of the Upper Midwest, though.
