Districts of Panem
In the fictional nation of Panem, created for "The Hunger Games," the country is divided into 12 (originally 13) districts, each specializing in a specific industry or resource, such as agriculture, mining, or technology. These districts operate under the control of the Capitol, which enforces strict rules and maintains power through surveillance and the annual Hunger Games, a televised event where district youths compete for survival. This division emphasizes economic disparity and social inequality, with districts living under harsh conditions while the Capitol enjoys luxury. The districts' structure highlights themes of oppression, rebellion, and societal division.
