It is one of the poorest districts in Panem, second only to District In addition, it is also one of the districts where the Peacekeepers are the strictest. Ironically, this directly results in its residents generally being malnourished and underfed despite its focus on agriculture. District 11 is located somewhere near Atlanta and is quite large. Rue and Thresh were notable tributes.
Seeder and Chaff were victors from District According to the Mockingjay podiums, District 11 has 5 victors. District 12 's industry is coal and is located somewhere near what was the Appalachian mountains. The district has the distinction of being one of the poorest districts, if not the outright poorest, in all of Panem. Before Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the 74th Hunger Games, the district has not had a winner of the Hunger Games emerge from the ranks of its residents for twenty-four years since Haymitch Abernathy , a raging alcoholic and an embarrassment to the district, won the 50th Hunger Games.
District 12 is the laughing stock of Panem. Shortly after the abrupt end of the 75th Hunger Games and during the opening hours of the second rebellion, District 12 was destroyed by the Capitol, using firebombs. Less than people escaped, mostly thanks to the foresight of Gale Hawthorne. At the end of the second rebellion, District 12 starts to rebuild. According to the Mockingjay podiums, District 12 had 3 victors; however in the book it was revealed District 12 had a total of 4.
District 13 was one of the thirteen districts of Panem. Its main industry was nuclear weaponry. It was supposedly obliterated during the Dark Days as a warning to the other twelve districts of the Capitol's might. The district is now said to be uninhabitable with the ruins supposedly still smoldering from the toxic bombs dropped upon it. After the Dark Days, the Capitol lead Panem's population to widely believe that the main industry of District 13 was graphite mining. However, this was a cover for the truth: nuclear technology research and development, including weapons.
Many of the wealthier districts such as Districts 1, 2 and 4, known as " Career Districts ," have a more positive orientation toward the Hunger Games. As residents do not generally face extreme poverty and malnutrition as is done in more impoverished districts, their tributes are generally healthy and strong.
In these districts, it is not uncommon for children to volunteer to be tributes , as winning the Hunger Games is held in highest regard in these districts. Although it is against the rules of the Hunger Games, children in these districts are often specifically raised to participate in the Hunger Games, and thus are trained in the arts of combat and survival. They are typically known as Career Tributes, or "Careers" for short. The Games themselves are reminiscent of the Roman munera , or gladiatorial games.
The districts surrounding the Capitol are similar to the Roman provinces that surrounded the city of Rome. The name "Panem" itself comes from the Latin expression panem et circenses , which means "bread and circuses", a political strategy to keep the people satisfied with the current leaders by distracting them with cheap food "bread" and entertainment "circuses" , the two basis of Panem's control over the districts and the people within. The Hunger Games version of panem et circenses is far darker and crueler than the Roman version, as food and entertainment are also used as a means of coercion through threats of being withheld as well as for distraction.
Additionally, Panem may also have a secondary derivation as a corrupted form of "Pan-Am" "Pan-America" , hinted by the fact that the name "Panem" is pronounced in the movies with both syllables stressed. Panem had 13 districts, possibly an allusion to the original Thirteen American Colonies than rebelled against their British rulers. The Hunger Games Wiki Explore. Victors Gamemaker Rebels The Covey.

Main article: Dark Days Approximately seventy-four years before the events of The Hunger Games trilogy, the various districts of Panem rebelled against the Capitol, primarily due to the oppressive fashion in which the Capitol government ruled over the districts. It is unknown how long the rebellion lasted or the exact number of casualties on either side although the Capitol claims that for every dead Capitol citizen, two rebels died , but by the end of the conflict, the Capitol had quelled the rebellion, defeating twelve of the districts and obliterating the thirteenth entirely.
Main article: The Games In the wake of the rebellion, the Capitol established the Hunger Games, an annual event in which twenty-four children between the ages of twelve and eighteen, one boy and one girl from each district, are chosen from a lottery and entered into a gladiatorial competition where they must fight each other to the death until only one remains standing.

Main article: The Capitol The Capitol seal Location The Capitol , hence its name, is the capital of Panem and serves as the nation's central seat of government. People The residents of the Capitol are generally the wealthiest and most decadent in of all Panem; living lives of conspicuous consumption, the people are most known for their lavish and "eccentric" sense of fashion, to the extent of dying their skin different colors and even having whiskers and talons implanted, a thought that disgusts Katniss Everdeen.
The city's prosperity is fueled by the industries and forced labor of the districts, and Capitol citizens are rarely, if ever, seen engaging in manual labor or any other serious work.
