President Snow Prevails! Panem Rejoices!

A victorious Snow delivers his victory speech in the Capitol last night.

President Snow scored a landslide victory in his reelection battle last night, winning the unanimous vote of Panem Parliament. 

Panem Parliament Stands Behind Snow

"The safety and welfare of each citizen is my utmost priority. Panem's successful future is our common goal. We must all work together to do what's needed to move this country forward. My success is your success." Snow said. 

A triumphant Snow greeted his supporters in the Capitol this morning as reaction from the elated districts poured in.

Know Your District: District 1 - Luxury

Providing Luxury Goods to the Capitol. 

 We Keep the Capitol Beautiful!

The 1st District of our great nation, District 1’s magnificence, from it’s splendid high plane vistas, to its beautiful mountain views and stunning northern treks, makes it one of the most scenic places in all of Panem.     

D1's geography stretches from the northern border of Capitol City to the Northern Wilds.  A diverse district, Southern D1 is flush with cosmopolitan merchant communities delivering the finest goods to Capitol City; while Highland D1sports the rugged beauty of vast mountainous stretches, flush with the natural resources to produce Panem’s finest luxury items.    

 

District 1's Northeast border pushes against the Great Wilds of the North, protecting us all from barbaric foreign interlopers. It's well-placed position bordering such integral regions as District 3's technology hub, and District 7's Lumber mecca, allows D1 to acquire the finest materials of each of its neighbors for producing its treasures.  

Much of the beauty of our dear Capitol is due to the intrepid miners, manufacturers, and craftsmen of District 1. After registering for their first Hunger Games lottery at age twelve, every D1 child signs up for a trade school.  Usually training to enter their parent’s profession, the children learn their academy’s discipline.  Each trade school has a specialty and several mandatory classes, such as economics and trade, which all the youths study.  The future jewelers, milliners and haberdashers start their apprenticeship at age sixteen and have, on average, mastered their craft by the time their first child is born.

While all goods produced by the Districts are used nationally, District 1’s influence has the widest reach.  Under the guidance of elite Capitol stylists, D1’s design plans are sent to its eleven sisters. From the caviar harvested in District 4, to the luxury cars engineered in District 3 and assembled in District 6, a multitude of District exports are instigated in District 1.  

Although D11 grows incredibly delicious and nutritious produce, the genial climate of D1 allows it to host an expanse of vineyards that cultivate delicate fruit that would not survive the gentlest of D6 transport. Vintners of this wealthy District produce the nation-famous Snow grape, eponymous to our proud leader. Grown in the vineyards of the District’s southwest, this tender fruit is known for its robust, ethereal flavor and its lingering aftertaste.  Snow Wine is a staple of New Year’s parties across the nation; every family in Panem must indulge in this annual luxury.

The fruit of District 1’s labors of love adorn the Panem elite.  We would like thank our Nation’s first District for continually feeding the Capitol’s hunger for splendor!

District 1, a shining jewel in Panem’s crown!

District 3 Celebrates Excellence Award

The pride of Panem's technological and engineering might, District 3 proudly accepted their first Snow Award for District Excellence. Due to recent innovations in the Panem-wide Hyperrail system, and breakthroughs in hovercraft technology, President Snow announced that the District had earned the prestigious recognition at a private gathering of District officials and Capitol luminaries.

"The Capitol and the good people of this country have come a long way," said President Snow to the group of 50-or-so officials, "and much of that success comes directly from the hard work and ingenuity of our third district."

The ingenuity and technical excellence of District 3 forges a path for Panem's future.

Victor Spotlight: Finnick Odair District 4

As the Capitol begins gearing up for the all-important Third Quarter Quell, we reflect on the nearly 75 years of Hunger Games. We remember the courage, honor, and sacrifice of it’s tributes and the glory of it’s victors.

 

We spotlight one such victor today, Finnick Odair of District 4.

Odair is quite possibly the most popular victor in Hunger Games history.  You’ll remember Finnick as the astonishing 14-year-old victor in the 65th Annual Hunger Games. During the 65th Games the charming Odair received what is still most expensive sponsor gift on record, a trident, which he used to secure his victory in a matter of days.

Since his victory, Odair has been successfully mentoring District 4 tributes, and breaking hearts all over Capitol City. The ever-fortunate Odair is frequently found in the Capitol, his charm and affability making him the toast of the Capitol Social Set. Often found at President Snow’s side, he is a trusted liaison between the President and the people, and a sought after guest at every official occasion.

Recently, Odair earned the distinction of Special Envoy for Capitol Interests, coordinating across the nation to meet Capitol goals, and inspire unity and goodwill throughout Panem. President Snow chose the beloved former victor for his immense popularity and awe-inspiring communication skills. Odair will travel through the outlying districts in the months ahead, spreading the message of security and harmony to all citizens. 

We salute you, Finnick Odair! May the odds be ever in your favor!
