The Hunger Games trilogy is about in some indeterminate time in the future...a time after nice disasters and droughts. Early within the Hunger Games, Mayor Undersee reads the history of Panem (an annual ritual on the Reapings). It reads: "He lists the disasters, the droughts, the storms, the fires, the encroaching seas that swallowed up a lot of the land, the brutal war for what little sustenance remained. The consequence was Panem, a shining Capitol ringed by 13 districts..."
Some particulars are offered about the nature of among the districts, nevertheless it's onerous to get a visible on what Panem is like, how large it's and the way huge (or not) the districts themselves might be. Panem, we know is located in North America. There are actually solely 12 districts (district thirteen having been destroyed) the place there was 30 states and provinces. We know that District 12 is small with a population of 8,000. It seems like all people is aware of one another, and most residents can fit within the public sq. throughout reapings. The only buildings we hear about in The Hunger Video games and Catching Fireplace are courthouses, mayor's homes and government buildings. There aren't any skyscrapers, giant downtowns or suburban sprawl anymore. All the foremost cities could have been utterly destroyed.
But while the districts is perhaps small, it appears the land in which they reside continues to be fairly large. We know the trains that take Katniss and Peeta round Panem journey at 250 mph. We also know that District 7 and District 10 are en route from District 12 to the Capitol. Listed below are some notes I've compiled concerning the issues we know about Panem, the districts and some of the people who dwell there.
Capitol It says explicitly in The Hunger Games that the Capitol is in the Rocky Mountains. As in the other districts, it's probably that people in this area are named by the issues round them. For instance, mountains are snow-capped, giving us President Snow.
District 1 - Luxurious Items - This district is thought for supplying the Capitol with its luxurious goods. The boy tribute, Marvel, is killed by Katniss (her first kill) and he killed Rue. The lady, Glimmer, is killed by tracker jacker stings.
District 2 - Trade unknown - nonetheless the 2 tributes are Clove and Cato. Clove is a spice grown from a specific evergreen that solely grows in warm climates, native to humid areas specifically. Cato is killed when Katniss shoots his hand and Peeta pushes him into the horn of cornucopia and he falls. The muttations feed on him all evening till Katniss finally shoots him to put him out of his misery. Clove is killed by Thresh, saving Katniss's life.
District 3 - Factories, electronics and explosives. Wiress & Beetee, as well as the boy who re-creates the land mines within the Hunger Games, are from District 3. The boy tribute (identify not identified) was killed by Cato because he did his job a bit too properly organising the mines from the platforms to protect supplies. Lady (also unnamed) dies on first day.
District 4 - Fishing. Tributes from this district excel at swimming, and it is indicated they arrive from a heat local weather (Finnick is shirtless much of the time). In The Starvation Video games the boy tribute dies the primary day at Cornucopia. The lady was killed from Katniss dropping the tracker jacker hive/nest on her.
District 5 - Business unknown - The boy tribute dies on the first day. Peeta kills Foxface by chance with poisonous berries.
District 6 - Trade unknown - what we do know is that in Catching Hearth, Twill and Bonnie, had been capable of leap the practice outside District 6 and stroll in a matter of days to District 12. This means it would have to be reasonably near District 12. Both tributes from District 6 died on the primary day.
District 7 - Lumber/Bushes - nothing is actually identified about this district. Each tributes died on the primary day of the Starvation Games. Johanna Mason although, is dressed as a tree for the parade before the Quarter Quell.
District eight - Textiles/Clothes - In Catching Fireplace we meet the refugees from District eight, Twill and Bonnie, names that coincide with the primary business of their district. They describe it as being "chilly". Katniss remembers that it was an "ugly, urban place...with no probability to study the methods of nature."
District 9 - Generates Electrical energy - The boy tribute died the first day. The girl died on the morning of the second day; she was the one who lit the hearth underneath/near Katniss's's tree and led the Careers to her.
District 10 - Livestock / Cattle - Katniss mentions that the District 10 tributes are dressed as cows with glowing belts. It is unknown how the boy tribute died, however it was in the morning of the day Katniss blows up the Careers' supplies. The girl tribute died on the primary day.
District eleven - Agriculture/Orchards - Rue specifically cites orchards, and climbing trees. When traveling to District eleven on the Victory Tour, Katniss observes an excessive temperature distinction - the snow where she is from in opposition to it being fairly heat in winter. Katniss additionally wonders how far south they've traveled on the train. Cato kills Thresh while the District 1 boy kills Rue.
District 12 - Coal Mining - This district is described as being within the space formerly often known as Appalachia. The district can be pretty compact compared to some others with a inhabitants of simply eight,000 people. There is one massive clue to the place district 12 is perhaps, that we do not get from studying the e-book, however from listening to Suzanne Collins read it. She reads Katniss with a southern accent.
District 13 - Graphite Mining / Nuclear Energy - There's speculation that some of the inhabitants might have moved underground after the district was destroyed. It's also described as as soon as being the furthermost district, past District 12 (in its absence, District 12 is described as "the end of the road").
