District 1

District 1 is one of the twelve Districts of Panem. It is one of the largest and wealthiest districts, and borders The Capitol. District 1's designated industry is luxury goods, such as jewelry, clothing, makeup, and haircare products. It has a population of about 5 million, and is highly supportive of The Capitol.

District 1 is home to a highly important "career tribute" culture. Career tributes are children who train for The Hunger Games since childhood, and ultimately volunteer for the games. This practice is illegal, but due to the support District 1 gives to The Capitol, the illegality is overlooked. District 1 has close diplomatic ties to District 2 and District 4.

Settlements
Most residents of District 1 live in large and bustling cities. Approximately 75% of the population resides in a city. However, the remaining resides in small towns which surround cities. While District 1 is much wealthier than many other districts, these small towns are typically looked down on by city dwellers, and residents lack the same culture that city dwellers possess.
