The Hunger Games: District 13

District 13 is a district of Panem that was supposedly destroyed by the Capitol during the first rebellion. It is said to be uninhabitable, the ruins still smoldering from the toxic bombs dropped on it. However, the district actually agreed to pretend to be dead in exchange for the Capitol leaving them alone. Its industries were mining graphite and nuclear science/technology. This is the reason that the Capitol agreed to leave them alone.


District 13's leader is President Coin. It is unclear where District 13 is located. Mockingjay gives a hint that it is under the ruins of Washington D.C.
