Nov 29, 2015 at 22:27 comment added Joe L. @The Giant of Lannister: I had forgotten about K taking Prim's place. Since the books don't cover the details of Panem's government, it's all speculation anyway; I just got on a roll.

Nov 29, 2015 at 19:41 comment added The Giant of Lannister It's perhaps not central to your answer, but I have to point out the glaring omission here: Katniss wasn't chosen for the games in the first book - she volunteered in place of Prim. And in the second book Katniss was the only eligible female victor, so there is nothing suspect in her being chosen for the Quarter Quell (you could argue that the "only victors are eligible for the Quarter Quell" thing seems too convenient, and the film goes out of the way to suggest it was fixed, but that's all about central Capitol surveillance and control, and contradicts the point you were making).

Nov 28, 2015 at 14:20 comment added Rand al'Thor "the only records to track would be birth, occupation, and death" - that's records of people. What about commodities? Transporting goods from the Districts to the Capitol needs organisation. How do people get their wages? Like any good dystopian society, the Capitol seems to be hot on surveillance, watching people all the time (at least in the films; it's been a few years since I read the books). Aren't records kept of the footage? Etc.
