About This Quote

The Capitol is the seat of government for the nation of Panem. The Games are a highly-hyped annual event in which the children of the nation's districts are sent to compete for fame, glory, and prizes. The winner of the annual event is awarded with an extravagant golden crown set upon a pedestal. The winner is allowed to choose one person from their district to also compete in the upcoming games. Everyone else is then executed or sent into slavery.
