Panem is the name of the continent where The Hunger Games stories are set.

The word "Panem" itself comes from an old Roman phrase, "panem et circenses". Which in English means "bread and circuses".

What are the huger games?

If you mean Hunger Games, it is a really good trilogy of books and a fab movie. In those though it is a competition where 2 tributes aged 12-18 from each of the districts in Panem, which the Capitol resides over, fight to the death for the ultimate riches and fame. In the poorer districts, if you come out a victor, your life will never be the same again. To get a gist of this, read the books, The Hunger Games, The Hunger Games:Catching Fire and The Hunger Games:Mockingjay.

Where does the word panem come from?

The word "panem" is Latin for "bread." It is famously used in the phrase "panem et circenses," meaning "bread and circuses," which refers to the provision of basic needs and entertainment to appease the populace.

How do the ''career tributes'' act inhumanely in the Hunger Games book?

The career tributes often act inhumanely in the hunger games because as they come from the richest districts of Panem, they have been able to afford training with weapons prior to the games themselves. This pre-training has given them an unfair advantage to the rest of them so this is why they are superior in physical combat, etc.

When does the Hunger Games take place?

We do not know for sure except that it is in the very distant future. Collins said it would have taken triple digits for Panem to be produced from the ashes of North America. It would then have taken several years for the Dark Days to come and the book is set 74 years after that.
