The districts are subjected to stringent laws and regulations, and their lives are frequently cut short due to disease and hunger. So basically there is an existing disparity between the capitol and the other districts, in which the capitol districts control and command the people from the oppressed districts, they invented a game for the oppressed districts to kill, they treat the people from the oppressed districts like an animal, they are playing with the poor people.
