The Hunger Games is set in Panem, a made up country, consisting of a wealthy capital and twelve districts in varying states of poverty. Each year two children from each district are chosen to participate in a compulsory annual death match called "The Hunger Games".
The Hunger Games started with thirteen districts. District thirteen attempted to start a revolution against the capital, the capital won, district thirteen was destroyed and as a punishment and deterrent the annual games were started. A televised death match where one female and one male from each district between the ages of 12-18 are chosen randomly in a reaping. Children may volunteer instead of selection by ballot, the chosen children are taken to an arena and fight until only one survives.
