In The Hunger Games, the plot takes place in district 12, where Katniss lives, and also in the Capitol where the Hunger Games take place. Catching fire visits all of the other districts, and that is where the plot takes place. Where the whole country itself, Panem, is located is not ever said in the series, but is most likely the United States and/or Canada because the appalachian mountains is discussed, because Katniss lives close to this coal -rich area. Later in the novel, the setting changes to an island, with a beach and jungle terrain. Overall, the same setting is discussed through the two books, but different districts are being focused on, and they eventually travel to an arena, as they did in the first book.
It focuses more on the Victor's Village than the poverty-ridden bulk of District Twelve, visiting the other Districts as well as the Capitol once more. Here we see more of what this world that Suzanne Collins has created looks like, as in the first book we didn't see much aside from Twelve, the Capitol and the forest-ridden arena. It is rumored that the Districts are scattered all the way from Canada to the reaches of Mexico, as the violent contrasts in temperature can't all happen in one single country.
During the second Games it switches to a tropical, circular island with sweeping seas and dense jungle. The sky can be clear one moment and swell with rain the next - it's volatile and constantly changing, especially when one of the Random Events is triggered, like when the clouds begin to pour with blood and coats the whole zone in a thick, oozing coat of red.
