What If... Hunger Games
I recently watched The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and my head was instantly filled with ideas. This is probably my dumbest idea yet, but I also started thinking about the SCP Foundation which led me to thinking of another What If Scenario. Though now I'm not sure how it should even play out if it could even play out at all.
Should it go like this?
The Capital: SCP Foundation
District 1: Global Occult Coalition
District 2: The Horizon Initiative
District 3: Church of the Broken God
District 6: Shark Punching Center
District 7: Three Moons Initiative
District 8: The Black Queen
District 9: Anderson Robotics
District 10: Promethius Labs
District 11: Alexylva University
District 12: Deer College
District 13: Medician Academy of Occult Art
District 14: Ambrose Restaurants
District 15: Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd
District 16: Dr Wondertainment
District 17: Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting
District 18: Arcadia
District 19: The Chicago Spectre
District 20: Goldbaker-Reinz Ltd
District 21: Greazeburger Incorporated
District 22: GRU Division "P"
District 23: IJAMEA
District 24: Just Girly Things
District 25: ORIA 
District 26: Parawatch
District 27: TotleighSoft 
District 28: FBI: Unusual Incidents Unit
District 29: Are we Cool Yet?
District 30: Gamers Against Weed
District 31: Oneiroi Collective
District 32: The Fifth Church
District 33: The Chaos Insurgency
District 34: Valravn Corporation
District 35: Children of the Scarlet King
District 36: The Factory
District 37: Church of the Second Hytoth
District 38: Sarkic Cults
District 39: Vikander-Kneed Technical Media
District 40: The Wandsmen
District 41: Manna Charitable Foundation
District 42: Wilson's Wildlife Solutions
District 43: "Nobody" 
District 44: The Serpent's Hand
***
Or perhaps more like this?
The Capital (SCP Foundation/ Global Occult Coalition/ The Horizon Initiative/ Church of the Broken God)
District 1: Reality Warping Science and Dimensional Control (Shark Punching Center/ Three Moons Initiative)
District 2: Androids, Artificial Intelligence, and Advanced Machinery (Anderson Robotics/ Promethius Labs)
District 3: Education, History, and Culture (Alexylva University/ Deer College/ Medician Academy of Occult Art)
District 4: Baking, Beverages, Cuisine, and Fast Food (Ambrose Restaurants/ Greazeburger Incorporated)
District 5: Banking, Finance, Trade, and Economics (Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd/ Goldbaker-Reinz Ltd)
District 6: Toys, Video Games, Movies, Shows, Music and Entertainment (Dr Wondertainment/ Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting/ Arcadia/ TotleighSoft)
District 7: Anomalous Weaponry (The Chicago Spectre/ GRU Division "P"/ IJAMEA/ ORIA)
District 8: Art, Hallucinogens, and Memetics (Just Girly Things/ Are we Cool Yet?/ Gamers Against Weed/ Oneiroi Collective)
District 9: Media Coverage and Journalism (Parawatch/ Vikander-Kneed Technical Media/ The Wandsmen)
District 10: Security and Defensive Weaponry (FBI: Unusual Incidents Unit/ Valravn Corporation)
District 11: Thaumaturgy, Alchemy, Rituals, and Artifacts (The Fifth Church/ Children of the Scarlet King/ Church of the Second Hytoth/ Sarkic Cults)
District 12: Transportation, Vehicles, Packaging, and Mass Production (The Chaos Insurgency/ The Factory/ The Black Queen/ "Nobody")
District 13: Fruits, Vegetables, Medicine, and Livestock (Manna Charitable Foundation/ Wilson's Wildlife Solutions)
District 14: Slave Labor (The Serpent's Hand) - Destroyed after the "Rebellion".
***
I don't know maybe I'm looking at it all wrong or maybe I'm missing something. I'm just posting it for now and maybe I'll pick it up as an actual concept for the SCP: Horror Movie Files later. Who knows, maybe in a few weeks I'll come up with a more fleshed out idea. Or maybe someone more talented than me will look at this and decide how to make it better. Either one is fine.

RESEARCH: FICTIONAL NATIONS
Many games have their own fictional nations and regions. These serve to improve immersion within games and also to generate a unique experience. They can also be useful components added by developers to fictionalize reality and create lore points for story elements.
I intend to research several of these (particularly those in the Just Cause franchise as it is the largest inspiration for my game) in an effort to brainstorm names for the fictional nation in my game.
EXAMPLE 1: REPUBLIC OF MEDICI [1]
The Republic of Medici is the fictional Mediterranean island nation where the entirety of Just Cause 3 is set. It appears to be named after the Italian word for "doctors", however, it also may possibly be named after Emílio de Medici - a Brazilian Military Dictator, or the House of Medici, a historical political family. The latter two could be intentional as both of these tie in with Just Cause 3's themes of corruption and capitalism. Many locations in Medici also are named using Latin for words that relate to their lore - for example, Vigilator Nord, Latin for "North Watcher", is a military radar base within Just Cause 3 that is said in the lore to be responsible for spying on the rebellion. This name obviously connects with the purpose of the military base and also ties in with the Medician language, which appears to be a mix between Romanian, Italian, French and Latin.
EXAMPLE 2: SOLÍS
Solís is the fictional nation in which Just Cause 4 takes place. It's name is possibly derived from the Spanish "solo" (alone), which possibly makes sense as the island seems to be located very far away from other land-masses, or the Spanish "Sol" (sun). It, much like Medici, has many locations with relevant names. Nueva Voz, for example, is the capital city of Solís and translates to "New Voice" from Spanish - this likely represents the city being "future-forward".

Rebel: Miss me with that ‘weapon accuracy’ shit. I’m shooting everything. I’m laying down cover fire. I’m shooting the walls. I’m shooting my teammates. I’m shooting myself. My accuracy is 100 percent, y’all just don’t know what I’m aiming at.
Mario, laughing: I didn’t even hear the rest because I can’t get over “miss me with that ‘weapon accuracy’ shit”, like I’ve never heard a more perfect phrase in my life.

Rico, over the CommLink: Alright, guys. Get ready to launch Operation Circle of Confusion.
Rebel: Uh, Rico? It kinda looks more like a triangle from down here.
Rico: What?
Rebel: I’m just saying, it doesn’t look much like a circle. It looks more like we’re forming a triangle. Just a side note.
Rico: Okay, fine. Triangle of Confusion! Rhombus of Terror! Parabola of Mystery! Who cares?! GET THE FUCKIN’ SHOW ON THE ROAD!

Trying something new! Some funny tweets don’t translate to quotes very well, so I might be doing more of these in the future. Made with TweetGen, if you’re interested!
