THE 1000TH ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES
Chapter 1: introduction
There stood a country, that had risen out of the dust of a nuclear disaster. A golden shining Capitol surrounded by thirteen Districts. They lived in peace for many years, until the Dark Days. For five years, war raged across the country. The thirteen districts of Panem rebelled against the Capitol. In the end, The Capitol and District 13 came to a truce, and 13 went underground.
In penance for their uprising, the Capitol imposed the Hunger Games on the twelve remaining Districts. Every year, the Districts of Panem would send one male and one female between the ages of twelve and eighteen into the Hunger Games. These 'tributes' would then fight to the death until one person remained. This person is crowned the Victor. This Victor would be showered in riches and fame fort the rest of their life. There have been one-thousand of these remarkable men and women, from Illinois Katrick, from District Six, of the First Hunger Games, to Sook Relter, from District Two, of the Nine-Hundred and Ninety-Ninth Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games carried on with twelve Districts until the 110th annual Hunger Games. Then, District 13 came out of the shadows for a second try. They were quickly defeated by the Capitol, and were made to join the Hunger Games the following year as punishment for trying to rebel again.
For two hundred years, the Hunger Games continued with thirteen Districts fighting. Around the 310th Hunger Games, The Capitol started discovering new lands, and new human colonies. Very quickly, Panem seized all these lands, and by the 348th Hunger Games, there were 24 Districts in Panem. To accommodate District 14, 15 and 16, all existing Districts were shrunk slightly, and the borders between Districts shrunk as well. The Capitol decided to wait until after the 350th Hunger Games (the 14th Quarter Quell) to introduce the new Districts into the Hunger Games. The 351st Hunger Games was the first Hunger Games to have 24 Districts in. Around the 500th Hunger Games, Panem went through a reshuffle, changing District jobs and borders.

A second rule of the Hunger Games was that every twenty-five years, a special twist would be put into the Hunger Games. These special games were dubbed Quarter Quells. Through the previous nine-hundred and ninety-nine Hunger Games, there have been thirty-nine Quarter Quells. It is now time for the One-Thousandth Hunger Games, the Fortieth Quarter Quell.

P.S. I have no bloody clue what happened to this chapter. I was writing the second chapter of the 650HG came here to check something, when I realised that this entire chapter was messed up. I have now fixed it I believe.
