![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Residents rarely travel between Districts, making for a more isolated way of living across the nation. The 13 Districts of Panem are, for the most part, disconnected from one another, with each district developing its own culture and social norms. ![]() Panem rose up out of the ashes of a variety of unspecified natural disasters and wars sometime in the 21st century. Because everything is from Katniss’ point of view, however, there are some gaps in the knowledge of other Districts and the world outside Panem. When Katniss Everdeen actually begins her Hunger Games training, she gets a crash course in what the other District tributes specialize in, and why they do. Katniss never draws the audience a Hunger Games Districts Map, but her memories of what she’s learned from news, school, and rumors of the world outside her own District 12 of Panem help to paint a picture. Most of the details fans get about the Districts in the Hunger Games franchise come courtesy of Katniss Everdeen. Covering those parts of what used to be the United States that haven't fallen victim to rising sea levels and other global disasters, Panem is presented as a grim alternate vision of the U.S.'s future. With a Hunger Gamesprequel novel from author Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, now feels as good a time as any to revisit Panem and get reacquainted with the Panem map and its 13 Districts. ![]()
