Yep......the capitol in "The Hunger Games" is Washington D.C......
The Left Finally Admits 'The Hunger Games' Is About D.C. | RealClearMarkets
The American left has long persisted with the fiction that Collins's Capitol wasn't the home city of cruel political types living well on the backs of others, but a recent New York Timesarticle unwittingly acknowledged what members of the right have known all along. Collins's Capitol is clearly a metaphor for Washington, D.C., along with other shimmering capital cities made that way thanks to the productive pursuits of non-government workers in the real economy, and who generally don't live near politicians.
