I think the apocalypse that happened was caused by global warming and a new fast killing virus that came around. Global warming will cause all the ice in Green land and the North and South poles to melt causeing vast flooding to the coastal regions of countries changing thir shape vastly like we see with Panem. Global warming will cause other problems like drowts in some areas and floods caused by rain in other areas. The new fast killing virus will kill off many people and will explain the small amount of people per district in Panem. Africa will be the least effected with the floodings but the continent will be a differant shape and it will be more habitable due to the flooding of desserts, Africa like the rest of the world will still be vastly effected by the virus due to the mulnutrition of the African people but survivors will manage and survive much better than anywhere else.
