7. PLOT
• The Hunger Games takes place in a nation known as Panem, established in
North America after the destruction of the continent's civilization by an
unknown apocalyptic event. The nation consists of the wealthy Capitol and
twelve surrounding, poorer districts united under the Capitol's control. District
12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region.

8. BACKGROUND
• Collins has said that the inspiration for The Hunger Games came from
channel surfing on television. On one channel she observed people
competing on a reality show and on another she saw footage of the
invasion of Iraq. The Greek myth of Theseus served as a major basis for the
story.
