Why does the Terran Empire use the Hunger Games to choose a new emperor and how is one chosen as a competitor?
Is being a pretty 15-19 year old the primary prerequisite?
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm guessing that this is something they do if the previous emperor dies of natural causes or willingly abdicates.
I can't remember how many candidates they said there were, but I assume each one is sponsored by some kind of nobility within the Empire.
With both The Hunger Games and the Terrans being inspired by the Roman Empire, I didn't think it was entirely out of left field (with the caveat that the Mirror Universe is a very silly place).
