The History of PanemFormation of a country Panem was a country built up from the ashes of a world in destruction. A long unspecified time ago North America, as well as the other continents around the world, were being destroyed by rising waters. To save the human race a country, Panem, was built on North America to serve as a last resort. As Panem's population and size was increasing it was decided that surrounding the capitol there would be thirteen districts where citizens could live and produce a certain product for the needs of their nation. Now although a seemingly perfect utopia, civil war soon broke out due to the oppressing capitol starting the time known as the Dark Days.
The Dark Days Due to the oppressing capitol the thirteen districts eventually rebelled against them, which started the period of time known as the Dark Days. During the dark days the capitol used mutated animals, or "mutts", to give them an advantage over the districts. Some of these mutated animals included: jabberjays, tracker jackers, and wolf mutts. Now although these were engineered to be serious threats to the districts, the citizens soon found weaknesses in them that allowed them to use their own weapons against them. For example, the districts used the jabberjays, a mutated animal created by the capitol to record rebel conversations, to relay false information to the capitol. However even though both sides fought gallantly, the capitol eventually obliterated district 13 causing the civil war to come to an end. Finally, to ensure that a civil war did not happen again the capitol decided to force one girl and one boy from each district to compete to the death in the annual Hunger Games, so they will always remember that they cannot do anything to change how they are treated.
