3. After giving serious consideration to the formation of this year’s 76 th Hunger Games, the Capitol’s Gamemakers decided upon divisions of Expansionists, Cutthroats, Innovators, and Originals.

4. District 1: The Expansionists — This District is known for it’s population of conquerors, explorers and expanders of land. Tributes in this District were chosen for the amount of land each has conquered, skill in conquering and their influence on the lands that they conquered. District 1 Symbol: Dandelions District 2: The Cutthroats — This District is known for it’s population of well, cutthroats—those whose hands are bathed in blood. Tributes of this District were chosen for the amount of deaths they influenced, and the amount of destruction they administered to their land. District 2 Symbol: Nightlock

5. District 3: The Innovators — This District is known for it’s population of inventors and discoverers. Intellect fills those in this District, for they are the creators of most of what humanity implements to move forward. Tributes in this category were chosen for the impact of their invention or discovery on humankind. District 3 Symbol: Trackerjackers District 4: The Originals — This District is known for it’s population of what the Capitol calls ‘Originals’. These people are all unique in something they did, or gave to the world. These tributes were chosen for the amount of influence they had upon the world for their way of thinking or the influence of their unique contribution to the world. District 4 Symbol: Mockingjay

6. District 1: The Expansionists Julius Caesar Prince Henry the Navigator Chinggis Khan Ivan III of Russia Napoleon Bonaparte Charlemagne Catherine the Great Babur Akbar Constantine Augustus Francisco Pizarro Hernan Cortez Cyrus the Great Tamerlame King Cheng of Zhou District 2: The Cutthroats Adolf Hitler Alexander the Great Napoleon III Ivan IV of Russia Attila the Hun Ferdinand and Isabella Henry VIII Idi Amin Dada Sundiata Joseph Stalin Maximilien Robespierre Mao Zedong Vlad Tepes Fidel Castro Benito Mussolini Pol Pot District 3: The Innovators Alessandro Volta Edward Jenner Thomas Edison Archimedes James Watt Karl Benz Albert Einstein Galileo Galilei Johannes Gutenberg Charles Babbage Alexander Graham Bell Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen Lawrence Roberts Wilbur and Orville Wright Barthelemy Thimonnier Mikhail Kalashnikov District 4: The Originals Mahatma Gandhi Charles Darwin Adam Smith Martin Luther King Jr. Plato John F. Kennedy Karl Marx Isaac Newton Cai Lun Christopher Columbus Queen Elizabeth Toussaint L'Ouverture Thomas Jefferson Zoroaster Mary Wollstone Craft Antony van Leeuwenhoek

7. Emperor Hirohito– Volunteers replaced Hirohito in District 2 (Cutthroats), because even though his war crimes against Nanjing (China, 1937) were absolutely horrific (in six weeks, his troops committed rape, looting, arson, and execution of civilians and prisoners of war) he was replaced because of his overall contribution to the world history—which was almost nothing.

10. Qualities of these leaders: District 1: Chinggis Khan – Created largest empire ever known – Allowed conquered lands to keep their traditions and religions. District 2: Joseph Stalin – Killed millions of his own people through concentration camps, relocations, and famines. – One of the key figures that led to the end of the second world war. – convinced many other countries to go communist.

11. Qualities of these leaders: District 3: Archimedes – Has had great influence in mathematics for centuries (esp. concerning the circle). – Much of technology that has been used throughout time incorporates his discoveries in mathematics. – His discoveries in math are essential in daily life. District 4: Isaac Newton – Is probably the one scientist who has contributed the most to science. – His theories, laws and inventions have affected countless inventions.

13. Qualities of these leaders: Joseph Stalin: – Killed millions of his own people. – Helped end the second world war in Europe. – Influenced many countries to take up communism. Isaac Newton: – Contributed greatly to science, mathematics and technology with his theories, laws and inventions. – His theories of Universal Gravitation and Laws of Motion influenced scientific perspective of the physical universe for 300 years. – Along with Leibniz, he developed the branch of mathematics called Calculus. – He played a key role in the Scientific Revolution.

15. Compared to Stalin, Newton’s impact was much more lasting. Communism is slowly seeing it’s demise, and only truly came to power in the last century. Newton’s ‘life’ has been prolonged in the sense of his wide influence throughout time. His theories, laws and inventions will continue to be used by generations to come. Also in the arena, Newton was able to fashion a crazy robot monster out of twigs and sponsored tools, and managed to overtake Stalin with this monster alone. He named it the Tributon…or maybe the Newtributon. Anyways, intellect and legacy over brief, brutal force! Yeah!

16. Until the 77 th Games….
