So here are the amended rules for setting:

To determine what the setting for a book is, only one of the following must be true for the specific book:

-50% of the book takes place in the setting
-A significant aspect of the story involves the setting
-The setting is referenced in the precis.
-The setting info on the GR book page lists the setting



I hope this helps when trying to find a setting that fits the categories in the challenge :)
