History of Panem

In the year 2414 a great nation is flourishing. This nation is called, Panem. There was a time once where hundreds of nations coexisted, for the most part they were peaceful. But time moved on and technology advanced, 100 years passed, approximately 2114 a nuclear war erupted and the entire planet was against one another, this toxicity caused the planet itself to react. Storms and sea levels rose, eruptions and earthquakes helped destroy the once peaceful world and thus the world as human kind knew it was altered forever.

But, out of the ashes and destruction came a new nation, Panem. For the next 150 years Panem structured itself, gaining back all of the technology and history and music and art and all the wonderful things that created the old world. This time was approximately the year 2260 when civilization was finally restored. For forty years our nation was ruled by one leader, who was in fact elected for the job. But one day our beloved President died of a heart attack and his vice President became a wonderful and just leader of Panem.

Preisdent Snow was a wonderful President, however four years later he became ill with HIV that developed to AIDS. Modern technology was amazing and was able to prologue his death until the year 2328. But do not fret, his 25 year old son, Coriolanus Snow ran for President and has been our beloved and cherished President.

But our President was dealt with a great burden. Some of the District's believed that his father was unjust and so was his son and demanded what they called 'Justice'. War broke out and one of our districts was destroyed. In result of this the most anticipated and popular Reality TV show was put into place. The Hunger Games. Once a year each District must offer one courageous young man and woman to fight to the death for glory, fame and honor. This winner, or Victor, will be blessed in all the untold riches.

Each of the twelve remaining districts are responsible for producing goods of a particular industry to serve the growing needs of our glorious nation, and for the past 86 years The Hunger Games has been the foundation of our nation. We have hit some bumps along the road, a second rebellion took place where it revealed that District 13, was still alive. But no matter, The Capitol, and our President were Victorious once again.

 Welcome to Panem 

 The Capitol: 

The Capitol is our plentiful home that offers us protection and peace. The Capitol is bigger then out once great city, New York City, and far more advanced. The people in the Capitol are fun loving and very enthusiastic about the Hunger Games, for good reason. The Capitol's technology, and Panem in general, surpass's all other generations. With Hovercrafts, robotic arms and legs, cure for cancer and even bringing people back to life. After all, how else would we have our wonderful Dead Tributes Games? The Capitol has tons of different places to go, carnivals, fairs anything you can imagine. But everything stops once the games come on. The Hunger Games takes place in July, during Summer Vacation. It's obviously the most anticipated thing of the year. The Capitol also has huge industries such as Stoll Incorporated and Phantom Industries, to be a celebrity you don't just have to be a Victor.

 District 1:

After the first rebellion, District 2 was rewarded with better treatment and living conditions for their citizens because of its loyalty to the Capitol.
