For some stupid reason I think some land was flooded, ant that in the rest grew forests. Just a few people survived, and they created indian-like groups, living seperate from each other and surviving from the nature. I think so because the Panem government must be curious to know what would be in the rest of the world, and that they would send some people in a hovercraft on a top-secret mission to explore the lands. I dunno what they would have done if they would find gigantic nations over there... And the gigantic nations would find out about Panem, too, and if they were stronger they probably would have attacked it. Bye bye, Panem...

It would become like that by wars or something, or some massive meteorite crashing into the earth. (just like killing the dinosaurs...)

Oh, and I think too that the strip of land between North and South America (no idea what it's named, I'm not an american XD) wil fade away in some way, so that Panem will never be in contact with indians from South America.

Bam.
