My opinions,

After the wars, flooding and famine happening pre-panem

The UK is gone,and European coastlines have reduced inland drastically. France, Spain, Italy, etc. Still exist independently just smaller because of flooding. I see monarchical government there possibly even papal governance.

Eastern Europe has been annexed into Russia and most of inland eastern Europe is still intact. Russia is a little smaller because of the floods and lives in isolation Russia + Eastern Europe live similar existences to the citizens of Panem everyone works to produce and share resources.

Africa, south America, Australia, New Zealand, have been taken out by flooding and global warming.

The middle east was bombed to dust except for few small cities doing very well as a result of the oil production.

Japan is gone, Korea and coastal China and India are gone.

Tibet still has people and produces their own food, cloth, etc. And inland China is still an isolated communist state.
