The region also possessed a number of graphite mines, and the extraction of this material was a secondary industry for District 13.Īlong with the other twelve districts of Panem, District 13 presumably suffered oppression by the Capitol for an indeterminate amount of time, likely for several years to decades, leading to development of dissent against the totalitarian regime. The country's military-industrial complex was originally based there, and it was a center for the development and production of nuclear weapons, technology, and science as well as the primary manufacturer of military equipment and arms for the country's military forces. Little is known about District 13's early history, other than it was founded as one of the original thirteen administrative districts of the nation of Panem. This is similar to how District 2's main industry is masonry, but the Capitol attempted to conceal the fact that Peacekeepers were also primarily recruited, trained, and equipped there. After the district was supposedly destroyed, the Capitol promoted graphite mining as 13's only industry as part of propaganda it distributed on it. While the district did in fact mine the substance on a small scale, their primary industry was actually nuclear science and technology. Located in far northeastern part of the country, District 13 was widely thought to have been destroyed by the Capitol during the climax of the First Rebellion (74 years prior to the events of The Hunger Games trilogy).įor most of its history, the general public of Panem was aware that District 13's industry was graphite mining.
