District

District 12 is a fictional location in Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" series. It is one of the poorer districts in the dystopian nation of Panem, primarily known for coal mining. The inhabitants face harsh living conditions, limited resources, and often struggle with poverty and starvation. As part of the oppressive government structure, District 12 is forced to participate in the deadly Hunger Games, where a boy and girl are chosen to compete in a survival competition. The district's resilience and sense of community play a significant role in the story's themes of resistance and hope.
