The Hunger Games universe, created by Suzanne Collins, draws inspiration from the Roman Empire. The setting of Panem, a post-apocalyptic America, is divided into 12 districts and a Capitol ruled by an elite few. The new prequel film, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, explores the origins of the villainous President Coriolanus Snow. Each district has its own unique industry and characteristics, with some districts being more rebellious than others. The world of The Hunger Games continues to enthrall audiences with its cautionary tale.
