What do I think? Well, obviously from what I've gathered through the books and official maps, most of the Americas is submerged in water. Or at least the top part of Mexico, the bottom part of Canada, and most of the US. At no point has anyone ever told the fans, however, that the REST of the world are aquatic ruins now as well. Or maybe some countries managed to construct an underwater civilization. Surely some parts of the world must of survived. because the foreign survivors would have migrated to Panem if it was the only place to go. Either they all died or there must be another area that survived the unknown natural disaster that flooded most of the earth.
