Popular series The Hunger Games is set in the dystopian nation of Panem, which is composed of numerous districts. Ruling the country is the tyrannical Capitol, which enforces its will upon the less-than elite. This manifests in the Hunger Games themselves, with the citizens of the districts forced to engage in this barbaric practice at the behest of The Capitol. Though the bloody arena of these battles are frequently focused upon, the series never really explores what’s outside the sovereign state.As the only known home for humanity following the nuclear wars and climate change that decimated the planet, Panem’s citizens believe life simply does not exist outside their walls. In both the Hunger Games novels and movies, the world outside of Panem is rarely mentioned. This leaves many wondering if Panem is the only country remaining. Though not much is present to confirm one way or the other, there are clues in the prequel, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Both the movie and novel feature a group of musicians who may solve the series’ biggest mystery.Long before the events of the main Hunger Games books, the nation of Panem was formed in the wake of immense nuclear and ecological disasters. The way in which the country’s society operated was heavily reminiscent of ancient Rome, with the later Hunger Games being an excellent — if just as disturbing — allegory for the concept of “bread and circus.” As the name might suggest, Panem is built upon the ruins of North America, including areas from both the former United States, and Canada and Mexico. The map of Panem and its districts isn’t completely analogous to present-day North America, however, with rising sea level having heavily altered the face of the continent.
