I come from Panem. We have the Capitol and twelve districts. There were thirteen, but Thirteen led a rebellion, which we now call the Dark Days, and was destroyed by the Capitol. The rest of the districts were spared when they surrendered.
In payment, though, and to remind ourselves of our debt to the Capitol, Panem has the Hunger Games every year. One girl and one boy from every district, aged twelve to eighteen, stand as tribute and compete. In a battle to the death with a lone victor.
The victor stands as the glory of Panem, living for the rest of their life without wanting for anything.
I was District Two's female tribute in the Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games.
[It's said rather neutrally, pride creeping in at the recitation of the propaganda about the purpose of the Hunger Games she has been taught all her life.]
