Suzanne Collins came up with the idea for the series while channel-surfing late one night. She flipped between a reality-TV competition and actual news coverage of the Iraq War. The jarring mix of entertainment and real violence struck her so hard that she immediately began imagining a world where children fight to the death on live television for the amusement of a privileged Capitol β and The Hunger Games was born.

The name of the country, Panem, comes from the Latin phrase βpanem et circensesβ β which means βbread and circuses.β
This ancient Roman expression described how rulers kept the people quiet and distracted by giving them food and entertainment, so they wouldnβt rebel. Suzanne Collins deliberately chose this name to show how the Capitol uses the Hunger Games (and luxury) to control the districts.
