Panem's geography

Panem, the fictional country in "The Hunger Games," is set in a post-apocalyptic North America, divided into 12 districts and a central Capitol. The districts encompass diverse regions—rural plains, forests, mountains, and coastal areas—each specializing in different industries like farming, mining, or manufacturing. The Capitol is a wealthy, technologically advanced city located in the Rocky Mountains, serving as the political and economic hub. The districts are geographically separated and often impoverished, while the Capitol is isolated and opulent. The landscape's disparities reflect the social and economic divisions central to the story.
