There was once a place called North America. But drought and fires, hurricanes and tornadoes, and enroaching seas took their toll. Brutal wars broke out as people fought for the few remaining resources. The earth was scarred and desolate, the people terrified and hopeless.
But out of the ashes and the wreckage rose Panem, a nation made up of a great Capitol ringed by thirteen districts, which brought peace and prosperity to its citizens for many generations.
Then came the Dark Daws, the uprising of the districts against the Capitol. The shining light of our nation was clouded by war - terrible war. the thirteen districts rebelled agains the country that fed them, loved them, and protected them. Their revolt left the country in tatters. Motherless children filled the streets. The land was torn asunder. After a long struggle in which many died, there came a hard-won peace. Twelved districts were defeated, the thirteenth obliterated. When the traitors were at last suppressed, we swore as a nation never to allow such treason again. Thus was the Treaty of Treason written and signed, providing us the new laws to live by - laws that would guarantee peace. As a yearly reminder that the Dark Days must never come again, it was decreed on the same day each year, the various districts would offer up in a tribute one brave young man and one brave young woman to fight in a pageant of honor, courage, and sacrifice - the Hunger Games. The twenty four tributes are sent to an outdoor arena, where they struggle to overcome both man and nature, and triumph over the odds. Each year, the lone victor serves as a reminder of the nations generosity and forgiveness.
This season is both a time for repentance and a time for thanks. This is how we remember our past. This is how we safeguard our future.
Now the great nation of Panem, ruled by the shining Capitol, consist of twelve districts, each essential in its own way. Each districts concentrates on producing one resource, so that only together to the districts form a cohesive powerful whole. The Capitol collects and redistributes the food and the fuel so that every district, and every family, has what it needs to prosper.
