District 3

"Panem is one of the most advanced nations in mankind's history, thanks to the efforts of District 3. Its computers keep us all connected and its electronic gadgets keep us all entertained."

- Description from The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide

District 3 is one of the 13 districts in Panem. Its main industry is technology. They specialize in televisions and computers. In Catching Fire during the Victory Tour, Katniss notices that this district, along with District 8 and District 4, shows the most happiness to see her, suggesting that they are one of the more rebellious districts. It is implied in Catching Fire that their citizens lived in abject poverty, as they were one of the first districts to start an uprising. Most of its inhabitants work in factories and are very well adept with engineering.

 * Both the tributes in the 74th and 75th Hunger Games, who didn't die in the bloodbath, died at the hands of a Career. This excludes Beetee as he's currently alive.
 * While the District 3 female did not make it far in the 74th Hunger Games, dying in the bloodbath, the male was electronically skilled and he proved that to the Careers by moving and then rearming the landmines used to prevent tributes stepping off the pedestals before the official start of the games.
 * The bread from this district is bite-sized square-shaped rolls.
 * Before The Dark Days, District 3 was one of the more wealthy Districts, however it was crippled by the uprising (in which it presumeably played an important role) and living standards decreased.
