Why did Suzanne Collins chose the panem for the country katniss lives in?

Dystopia kind of means different from how our world is. So in The Hunger Games, it is Panem.
Frances Nicolas
"Suzanne Collins chose the name 'Panem' as a reference to the Latin phrase 'Panem et Circenses', which translates to 'bread and circuses'. This phrase symbolizes the government's tactic in providing basic needs (food) and entertainment to keep the population obedient and distracted from the oppressive regime."

∙ 12y agoWell, Panem is ruled by an authority that takes the labour of its people and uses it lavishly, while the people in the districts starve and are scraping to get by. It's a totalitarian authority, which is a typical feature of a dystopian society. Also, the very idea of The Hunger Games themselves is dystopian, as who wouldn't think an event where 24 young men and women are put into an arena to fight to the death wasn't unpleasant?
Some other smaller features such as the way cameras are all around (the citizens of the districts always are being watched), and tesserae, etc. are some other hints of a dystopian society.
hope I helped!
