District 4

District 4 is one of the twelve Districts of Panem. It is one of the wealthiest districts, is located on the western coast. District 4's designated industry is fisheries, and due to its location on the water, there is a strong maritime and nautical influence on the district. It has a population of about 3 million, and is highly supportive of The Capitol.

District 4 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 4 gives to The Capitol, the illegality is overlooked. District 4 has close diplomatic ties to District 1 and District 2.

Settlements
Most residents of District 4 live on the coast, and inland areas of the district are largely uninhabited. The population is mainly concentrated in coastal fishing villages, with about 40% of the population residing in cities and 60% in villages.
