what is it with ya dystopian future novels and the trope of turning north america into an array of nondescript kingdoms/nations that are isolated from the outside world
#seriously so many ya novels describe this occasionally neat sounding world of kingdoms and stuff#and then i look at the map and its Just The United States. like most of the time they don't even bother to include canada or mexico#its like. did you just use that as a map because its easy and takes barely any work#did you just use that because you can't consider the concept of society past your nearest walmart and immediate friend circle#it feels so lazy#some authors actually do put thought into it and make it work well and i appreciate those#but so many of them are like 'yea i live in this country so I'm turning Only It into a whimsical land' ok#I've seen british authors do this too with britain ngl#so it's not just a US problem but i see a lot more of specifically US bc of population proportion and also i Live There
