A long time ago, in December of the year 2013 in a land called North America, there were many natural disasters. This broke up the country called the United States into five provinces—North, Northeast, Central, West, and South.

Each province was plagued by different natural disasters. Northeast suffered from hurricanes. West had earthquakes. North had nonstop blizzards. Central had many tornadoes, and South was full of dust storms. Hawaii, the only part of America that was safe from these disasters, had broken off from the United States and became an independent country.

Once the natural disasters had mostly subsided, the president, who at the time was Bartholomew Cornish, decided to unite five provinces into one country, which was called Panem.

In autumn of 2013, Panem was broken up into thirteen districts surrounding the Capitol; their locations were based on geography. The Capitol was moved from the Northeast area to the center of Panem. Each district was known for developing different products. District 2 trained people to become Peacekeepers, which were once known as policemen in the United States. District 12 mined for coal. District 13 developed nuclear technology. District 3 produced technology.

In the year 2018, District 13 had had enough with the Capitol and rebelled. However, the Capitol's defenses were too strong for the District. The Capitol bombed District 13 and all of that district's residents are believed to have been killed.

To punish the districts for revolting against the Capitol, in 2020, the president of Panem declared the first-ever Hunger Games.

I wrote this about a year ago, along with a few more chapters, and I'm finally putting them on here! I'll update it every few days or so, but I'm usually pretty busy. I might not be able to update it as much as I'd like, but I will try!

I know it doesn't seem like a crossover right now, but this is sort of the prologue, and it'll become a crossover in the next few chapters.

Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading! :D
