The Hunger Games follows a sovereign state in the middle of a dystopia, but the question remains whether the rest of the world is in the same condition. Based on the popular YA books series by Suzanne Collins, the four-film franchise was set in Panem, a fictional society controlled by a federal government known as the Capitol. Several outlying districts in The Hunger Games surrounded the wealthy city that housed the Capitol citizens, which provided services and goods in exchange for protection.
