where are the districts located in the hunger games
Fictional world of The Hunger Games The series takes place in the fictional nation of Panem, which has replaced the 21st century North American nations at an unspecified future time after a series of ecological disasters and a great war.[1] The name Panem comes from the Latin word for bread.[2] Panem consists of a Capitol city located in the Rocky Mountains,[3] surrounded by thirteen outlying Districts. The government is a totalitarian dictatorship similar to ancient Rome, a police state in which the Districts are subservient to the Capitol, expected to provide economic goods in exchange for protection provided by "Peacekeepers".
List of The Hunger Games characters Peeta Mellark is the male tribute from District 12 in both the 74th and 75th Hunger Games. He is the same age as Katniss, with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes, characteristic of the town residents of District 12, whose middle-class merchants are slightly more well-to-do than those of the Seam. Peeta is the baker's son and lives with two brothers, a quiet father, and a strict disciplinarian mother. Peeta's favorite color is orange, like the sunset. His skills include personal charm and charisma, physical strength, baking, and painting. Peeta has been in love with Katniss ever since he first saw her during elementary school, and declares his love for her during the pre-Games interview. Katniss believes this is a ploy to gain the support of sponsors to help them survive the Games. Lacking Katniss' skills with weapons like the bow and arrow, he relies on his charm and physical strength, and teamwork with Katniss, to survive in the Games.
