Introduction.
Every camera was directed at President Nico as he took to the stand in front of his luxury mansion. The capitolites cheered as a he waved for them all to settle down in preparation of his speech.
"Welcome, the people of the Capitol, and welcome to those in the districts. Welcome the people of Panem, as a whole", he began, talking directly into the camera.
"We come today, a day that will remembered as Historic as we declare peace between us, here in the capitol, and those out in the districts".
Licking his lips. He stares down at his speech, for the prompt reminder he craved.
"We, in Panem are one nation. There are only two others left in the world. The United Kingdom, and Kazakhstan. The leaders before us of our three nations signed a treaty of declaration. that we will have no contact, with each other, in order to keep the peace between us. War destroyed a planet that was once bustling and alive. Peace is required to keep us alive.
The district people declared war. Rebels fought and lost against the capitol who understood what is needed to keep order.
Peace.
The government here in the Capitol have decided to take out drastic measures to ensure that peace is kept here in Panem forever. We have devised the Treaty of Treason, which is put in place to remind those in the districts that they cannot overcome the greatness of the capitol to ensure that Panem is run smoothly.
The treaty of treason will implement new laws in the districts, which will be found in each of the Justice Buildings and enforced by a new found Peacekeeping Squad. It will also see the birth of a new tournament which will take place Annually called The Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games are quite simply. Each year the capitol will choose or reap rather, two tributes, one male, one female between the ages of 12 and 18, to fight to the death in a televised Arena until one lone tribute dubbed Victor, remains. That lone victor will be bathed in riches and return to their district, and bring foods and wealth with them for the year of their win".
The capital went wild with cheers. The districts look around at the shocked expressions.
They were taking children into slaughter.
"Tomorrow", the president continued, "Each District will see a new Village birthed, which will be named Victors Village, for the Victors to return home too. These new homes will be for the Victors and the Victors alone to enjoy and will not be on the market. Anyone found in Victors village who does not belong will be punished accordingly".
"The first reaping for the first annual Hunger Games, will commence next week…. And I for one, cannot wait".
