WELL like that person said the earth has to flood first. It doesnt. Panem can happen with one simple mistake in the econemy. I believe it is already happening with Obama as our president. We're entering ANOTHER great depression and thats a bit how Panem got started. (Or at least what I remember from the book). Everything in history has to repeat it self. The greeks or romans have already had an arena where people would go fight ea chother or animals. It had huge crowds watching them get brutally murdured. So it  is possible. It can happen in our lifetime but not be exactly like Panem. It could happen in another country acctually.
