Location from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The district that officially doesn't exist — a nuclear-armed military society buried deep underground, biding its time for seventy-five years to finish the rebellion it started.
District 13 made a deal with the Capitol after the first rebellion: mutual destruction assured. The Capitol pretended to annihilate it; District 13 pretended to be dead. Underground, President Coin built a military society so rigid it schedules bathroom breaks. Every citizen has a daily itinerary tattooed on their arm in washable ink each morning. Food is rationed with mathematical precision. Children train for combat. There is no art, no color, no excess — the mirror opposite of the Capitol and equally dehumanizing. When Katniss's defiance cracked the system open, District 13 was ready. But Coin's revolution was always about replacing Snow, not freeing anyone.
On the surface: rubble, ruins, and automated camera loops showing the same devastation on repeat for decades. Below: a vast subterranean complex of concrete corridors, compartmentalized living quarters, hydroponic farms, and weapons manufacturing floors. Everything is grey, regimented, scheduled to the minute.
Also known as: Thirteen, the underground district
