Like District 12, District 11 is one of the poorest districts in Panem, and their buildings and houses and other structures are often covered up with banners to hide the damage and the ruins. The main industry is agriculture, and many orchards and fields of cotton and wheat surround the land; however, everything that is grown and harvested gets immediately shipped to the Capitol. Thus, District 11 is heavily controlled by the government. The peacekeepers in District 11 are one of the strictest and cruelest peacekeepers in Panem, and the death penalty is much more serious in comparison with the other districts. For instance, if a person steals food from one of the farms, they will be punished by death, and if they eat it, they will be whipped in public. The people who live in District 11 tend to have darker skin.
District 12 is the poorest and smallest district in Panem, and it is constantly mocked by the other districts. The main industry is coal mining and the land is surrounded by wild forests, where Katniss usually went to hunt animals. In Catching Fire District 12 gets destroyed, however, after the Second Panem War, the district was rebuild and reconstructed, and instead of coal, the main industry became the production of medicine. The people who live in District 12 usually have olive skin and darker hair.
