The situation happens in the post-apocalyptic world where North America has decreased due to the increase of level of World Ocean; there is only the state of Panem, consisting of the capital - the Capitol and twelve districts on the mainland.

And you're only a reader, and the book is fiction, and it is all not really happening. It is also a defensive reaction to calm down a little and be able to fall asleep and not see nightmares.
