3. Panem is a nation that was established during an unknown time period in a post-apocalyptic world. It is situated primarily in North America
Panem is run by an authoritarian-totalitarian dictatorship that is led by President Snow.
In Panem, the law is harshly enforced: After the dark days, a sadistic annual event known as the Hunger Games was established as a warning reminder of the past. Public executions are also common in Panem.
All of the districts are subject to the unrelenting will of the authoritarian Capitol, and have no known influence concerning the national politics of Panem beyond their own individual territories.
Background: Panem

5. Background The Districts
The nation of Panem is separated into a total of thirteen nation- states known as districts, twelve of which are recognized as operational by the Capitol, and each being responsible for producing, procuring, or refining goods in a particular industry as dictated by the Capitol.
The districts barely interact with each other since it was illegal, so each district generally has a unique culture unaffected by the other districts. Welfare levels vary significantly, and are often dependent on the goods it produces; some districts, such as 10, 11 and 12, are far more impoverished than wealthier districts like 1, 2, and 4, though no district is nearly as wealthy as the Capitol itself.
Originally, there were thirteen districts in Panem. During the Dark Days, District 13 was obliterated by the Capitol and is no longer recognized as operational. Each district provides something different to the Capitol; for example, District 12 provides coal and District 4 provides fish.
Background The Districts

6. Background The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games are a brutal competition which takes place annually in the country of Panem. Every year, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are selected from each of the twelve districts as tributes, who train for a week and then are sent into an outdoor arena to fight to the death. The event is nationally televised as mandatory viewing for all citizens. The last living tribute is declared the victor and is showered in gifts and lives the rest of their life in luxury in Victor's Village. The winning district also receives parcels of food from the Capitol for a year.
Every year since the rebellion, the Capitol forces 24 children into the arena and used hidden cameras to televise the events in order to both entertain the Capitol citizens and remind the twelve districts how they are completely at the Capitol's mercy. Only one tribute can win the games.
