Trivia

 * Facebook pages and a website (thecapitol.pn) have been set up by Lionsgate, with each District having its own page. A recently launched website, District13.pn, is blank to represent District 13's non-existence in Panem. The tab name reads:  "CAUTION: RADIATION HAZARD. NO TRESPASSING BEYOND THIS POINT." District 13 is still toxic as far as all of Panem is concerned.
 * The sites were confirmed as real by Lionsgate, along with all 13 District URL's which link directly to each Facebook page respectively and the Capitol and District 13's website according to thehob.org
