In Suzanne Collins's 'The Hunger Games', Panem, formerly known as North America, is a country split into 14 districts. Districts 1-13, and the Capitol.
The Capitol rules Panem.
District 13 was apparently destroyed in the first rebellion against the Capitol.
This left only 12 disticts under the Capitol.
Panem comes from "Panem et circenses" which means "bread and entertainment", this is a metaphor of political creation of public approval.
In 'the Hunger Games', Panem is the country ruled by the terribly corrupt Capitol. It is where the Games take place.

A Latin Root, to SEIZE THE BREAD
"Lets name our clan "Carpe Panem" because we seize the bread."
a) (direct translation from Latin): bread and circuses
b) (adj): something that exists purely f-sag with no real concrete purpose
c) political scandals and entertainment as viewed on television and read in the newspapers
The United Nations today is nothing more than a panem et circenses, a political circus that performs only for the media.
The Latin phrase panem et circenses can also be interpreted as the main raison d'être of the American media, ie food and entertainment.

The United Nations, IMHO today, at least under definition b) above is nothing more than a panem et circenses, a political circus that performs only for the media.
Panem et circenses can also be interpreted by the alt left liberal media in the United States to refer to fast food and entertainment as the main pillars of US culture.
