DISTRICT 7
District 7 is the lumberjack district and is one of the larger of the districts in terms of territory covered. District 7's main trade has always been forestry, and most of its residents were and still are skilled woodsmen and lumberjacks, being exceptionally strong and good with axes, although much more modern devices are usually used to fell trees now besides just axes. District 7 also has large numbers of lumbermills and paper plants where the paper and lumber have been shipped to the Capitol. Lumber still remains in high demand from District 7 but paper is a dying commodity as electronic devices have kicked it out of business. This usually puts District 7 at odds with more technologically advanced districts and District 7 has routinely boycotted electronic tablets and such. Besides being good woodsman, District 7's residents are also good carpenters and craftsmen, making many different pieces of furniture and such, a growing commodity in Panem as the synthetic machine made goods are usually too expensive for many citizens to afford. With a population of only 26,000, District 7 is quaint little district compared to many other districts that usually match its size. District 7 does not see too much tourism although it is an ideal place for hunting, fishing, or boating and the government has recently trying to encourage those activities with the construction of a giant recreation park
Government
District 7's government resembled that of every other district in that it is composed of an executive and legislative branch. The legislative branch consists of a unicameral Council with five seats. Each member of the Council is elected from one of the five precints of District 7 for a term of three years and the Council is tasked with passing and approving all laws for the District. The Governor, who currently is Sycamore Amber, is the head of government for the District and the chief administrator, tasked with heading the small bureacracy, local peacekeeping force, and executing all laws of both the Council and the Government of Panem.
