[close] Did you ever wonder what it was like to live in district 12. The poorest district in Panem where if you even so much as look at a peacekeeper funny you might be killed. After the mocking jay rebellion the Peacekeepers have gotten much stricter. The fence is patrolled daily from the outside which makes it much harder to get in and supplies are becoming harder to get so prices are raising. Resulting in many starving Seam children. Can you survive life in District 12? HUNGER GAMES MAY BE INCLUDED LATER
