What's your district?

OK, this is a Hunger Games post, so if it doesn't make sense to you... go read the books and it will! Seriously, go read them :)

Here is a (fan-made) map of Panem that I found, showing the location of all 13 districts plus the Capitol. This is based on info provided mostly in Catching Fire (as Katniss & Peeta travel) and of course some conjecture. I guess much of the continental US has been lost (underwater) due to the preceding cataclysmic events that gave way to Panem.What we know about each district's trade/livelihood and uprising status:

The Capitol- in the Rocky Mountains or on the west side of the mountains. Very urban.

D1- Puts out Career tributes and seem to be loyal to the Capitol. We don't know anything about its geography or economy.

D2- Puts out Career tributes and seem to be loyal to the Capitol. We don't know anything about its geography or economy

D3- Makes electronics. Was on the brink of an uprising.

D4- Fishing, coastal. Was on the brink of an uprising

D5
- Nothing on this district.

D6- Nothing on this district.

D7- Produces lumber and paper. Rumors of an uprising.

D8- Textile production (factories). Uprising taking place.

D9- Nothing on this district.

D10- Raises livestock. Communications down, probable uprising.

D11- Agricultural. A very large & populous district. Uprising taking place.

D12/The Seam-Katniss and Peeta's home. Coal belt of Appalachia. Not loyal to the Capitol, but not openly rebellious. Weak and poor. Smaller population than most districts. Bombed/destroyed at the end of Catching Fire :(

D13- Supposedly destroyed in war 75 years ago, used to provide nuclear technology. However, actually inhabited and seems to be the headquarters for the revolution :)

Soooo... what district would YOU be in? I myself would be in District 4 but have lived in D's 1, 11, & 13!
