Panem (The Hunger Game)

This is a region made with the story of Hunger Game. Panem was the area in which the gamee was held and where the Capitol and Districts were located.

"The nation of Panem was established during an unknown time period following the destruction of modern civilization. It is situated primarily on the western side of North America, and the Capitol is located in an area formerly known as the Rocky Mountains.

The name Panem derives from the Latin phrase panem et circenses, which literally translates into 'bread and circuses'. The phrase itself is 'used to describe entertainment used to distract public attention from more important matters.'

In Panem, the rules are harshly enforced. After The Dark Days, a cruel game known as The Hunger Games wasinvented."
