letter from the chair To the Honorable Members of the Capitol,

My name is Yujin Lee, and I will be serving as a chair for this crisis commit-tee, “HUNGER GAMES : The Capitol” in Global Education City Model Unit-ed Nations the Second (GECMUN II). It is my utmost pleasure and honor to be a part of this committee. This committee is based on the “Hunger Games” series, which is loved by people around the world, including my-self. Delegates will be representing the Capitol, the Panem’s government. Delegates will have to cooperate and think wisely to successfully prevent Katniss Everdeen and District 13 from rebelling against the Capitol. I will try my best to make the committee exciting and thrilling for all the dele-gates.

To briefly introduce myself, I am a freshman in Korea International School Jeju (KISJ). I am a big fan of movies, and the genres or the languages do not matter as long as they are not horror movies. I also love to travel around the world; experiencing different cultures and lifestyles of other countries is just fascinating and exciting to me. This is my first time chair-ing a committee, and I am still building my MUN experiences. I have en-joyed MUN so far, and I am looking forward to future conferences.

I am greatly looking forward to the discussions and the fun we will have during the committee. I wish all of us will be left with only pleasant memo-ries after the committee.

Good luck on securing the Capitol!

Sincerely, Yujin Lee

letter from the Director Hello Esteemed Members of the Capitol,

My name is Amy Kang, serving as the crisis director of the “HUNGER GAMES: The Capitol” Committee in Global Education City Model United Nations (GECMUN) II. I am very honored and extremely excited to con-tribute to this committee by stimulating the “real story” and the “future.” I’ll work at my best manner to make the committee thrilling and enjoyable, while still being somewhat realistic. Amy Lee, the chair, and I, decided to have a committee based on the Hunger Games, as we loved the movie series and the trilogy. We believed that simulating the high officials of the Capitol in Panem would bring more understanding to the novel and the movie.

For a brief introduction about myself, I am a sophomore attending KIS Jeju. My hobbies include stargazing, listening to “old” music, and the best of all, travelling. I have lived in Texas and in California. I have a dog named Ange, which is a papillon. I have been to several domestic and interna-tional conferences for MUN. It is my first time directing and I have played my role as a chair 2 times.

I hope that this committee will provide you a fruitful and an entertaining experience, and I hope that you make the best out of our times.

Lastly, good luck, andMay the Odds be Ever in Your Favor.

Best regards,Amy Kang

Panem is a nation that was established after World War III in a post-apoc-alyptic world. After the war, the entire world was almost destroyed and all of the citizens were in a spiral of chaos. The government collapsed and the congress was gone. Moreover, the major landmass of the world changed shape as the sea level rose around the planet. Finally, a part of North America became the only landmass on Earth. During the great confusion, a group of people who was the wisest and the most courageous, who are the founders and the ancestors of ourselves at the same time, built a new nation called “Panem.” This is how Panem was created. We could restore peace and stability of the nation because of the founders’ sacrifices and endless efforts. Through the enormous efforts and developments, Panem is now an idealistic nation in the world, even though it is divided in 13 different districts. Panem is situated primarily in North America, and the Capitol, which is the heart of Panem, is located in an area formerly known as the Rocky Mountains. Panem is run by an absolute and an organized government led by President Snow. President Snow is the greatest leader ever in history and because of him, the Panem could be developed to the current level. There aren’t any nations or civilized societies near Panem, so Panem can be stabilized without obstacles. The name Panem derives from the Latin phrase panem et circenses, which translates into ‘bread and circuses.’ Furthermore, the government provides ample food and joyful entertainments to the citizens of Panem. Under Panem’s protection, citizens always work hard on their jobs and can get satisfactory lives. As mentioned above, Panem is divided in 13 different districts. Each district is responsible for producing good of a particular industry to serve the needs of the nation, and they all operate under the auspices of Panem’s Capitol. The laws of Panem are organized and reasonable. Some might think that laws are a little bit harsh, but because of its strictness, the discipline can be tightened and crimes can be diminished. Panem has a total population of 4,556,778 people. After the dark days, an annual event known as the Hunger Games is held to remind people about the past rebellions and to entertain the citizens..

The Hunger Games is the most important and the biggest annual event of Panem. Every year, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are selected from each of the twelve districts to be the participants. Selected children or teenagers are trained to be gladiators, and they are sent into an arena to fight to death. The event is nationally televised and it is mandatory for all citizens to watch the show. The last living participant is declared the victor and is allowed to live in comfort. The Hunger Games has a long history of 75 years and its own tradition. It successfully enter-tains the citizens and makes the twelve districts think of the mercy of Pa-nem. Historically, there was only one survivor for each year except the 74th and the 75th. The victors of 74th Hunger Games are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, because they attempted suicide.

The 75th Hunger Games was the third quarter quell. Therefore, all of the victors from each district became the participants of the game, including Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. There was a minor incident during the 75th Hunger Games because of Katniss Everdeen’s unacceptable ac-tion.

The Capitol of Panem is a technologically advanced, utopian city where the nation’s most wealthy and powerful people live. The Capitol is also a colloquial name for the ruling government. The country’s thirteen districts (12 after The Dark Days) are ruled from the city, and the Hunger Games are organized and celebrated inside its walls. The Capitol is a well-orga-nized governmental group, led by President Snow, and holds total political and economic dominance over Panem, keeping its rule through an army of Peacekeepers, capital punishment, propaganda, and the Hunger Games. The members of the Capitol are the leaders and the nobles of Panem. Most of them are direct descendants of the founders of Panem. The city has a great history from the beginning of the new world. It is located in the northwestern section of America, western part of the Rocky mountains. The mountains act as a natural barrier of the Capitol, allowing the Capitol to suppress the rebellions immediately.

The Capitol is known for its fashion and food. An outrageous sense of style and fashion is very important to the wealthy citizens. It is common for them to tattoo and dye their bodies in extravagant bright colors. They also un-dergo plastic surgery to change their appearances.

District 1’s industry is manufacturing luxury items for the Capitol. Due to the nature of its industry, it’s considered to be the wealthiest district. It is the only other wealthier being the Capitol itself. It is also a Career District and is one of the most important and indispensable districts for the Capi-tol. District 1 has 148 of Panem’s memorials in their district and is located in the north.

District 2’s industry is masonry. They manufacture weapons, construct trains, and provide supplies for Peacekeeping troops. The main military complex in the district is known as the Nut. Citizens of District 2 are very loyal and faithful to the Capitol. They are also the biggest supporters of the Capitol. As a reward, the Capitol is providing many extra conveniences to District 2. It is located in the south/southeast of the country.

District 3’s primary industry is electronics of any type. The district is also known for making various mechanical products such as automobiles and firearms. The participants of the Hunger Games from the District 3 are technologically intelligent, including Wiress and Beetee, who were partic-ipants of the 75th Hunger games. It is located on the northwest of District 12. It is not considered as a Career district.

District 4’s industry is fishing. Thus, most residents have experiences making fishhooks, using nets and tridents, swimming, and identifying ed-ible sea creatures. It is considered as a Career district. Finnick Odair, an important ally of Katniss Everdeen, is from District 4. They can be danger-ous. Six victors of the Hunger Games came from District 4. It is located on the west coast of North America around where were formally California and Oregon.

District 5’s main industry is power and electricity. Therefore, district 5 is responsible for generating energy for the entire nation. Therefore, they have a huge dam. The dam was recently destroyed by the rebellions and this caused a massive loss of power in the Capitol. It is located fairly close to the Capitol, only a little bit Southwest of it.

District 6’s industry is transportation. District 6 was heavily bombed by the Capitol’s Air Forces. It is also one of the most rebellious districts, as the victors from this district were part of the traders who were in alliance to keep Katniss Everdeen alive. The Capitol needs to pay attention to District 6’s actions and changes.

District 7’s industry is lumber. It is a middle classed district like District 3, 6, and 8. They are known to be good with axes, hatchets, saws, and other tree-cutting tools. District 7 is surrounded by a forest and has a dam near-by the district. It is one of the most beautiful districts. The district is locat-ed in the upper north region, near District 4.

District 8 produces textiles. It is a very important district since there is a factory, which is primarily used for making the Peacekeepers’ uniforms. It was the first district to rebel after Katniss Everdeen spurred the rebellions. These days, the rebels in District 8 is led by Commander Paylor. There exists almost no chance for the civilians in District 8 to change their mind, to side with our government, so harsh measures should be taken.

District 9’s industry is grain. The vast plains within the district allow for the extensive growth of grains. District 9 produced 5 victors. This district is lo-cated on the northeast of District 10, near the Great Lakes. There are many factories, which are mostly for grain processing. Since the main industry couldn’t give wealth to the citizens of District 9, they became ardent sup-porters of the rebellions.

District 10’s industry is livestock. Their marriage rituals are similar with District 4. It is a poor district within the thirteen districts of Panem. They provide beef, pork, and chicken for the Capitol. It is located in the southern area of North America. District 10 is also a supporting district of Katniss Everdeen and District 13.

District 11’s industry is agriculture, orchards, and fields of grain and cotton surrounding the district. Almost everything grown is shipped directly to the Capitol. It is one of the poorest districts in Panem, secondary to District 12. In addition, it is one of the districts where the Peacekeepers are very strict. It is located in the south of Panem, where Mississippi river was located in the past.

District 12’s industry is coal. District 12 is located near the Appalachian mountains. It is one of the poorest districts in all of Panem. Before Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the 74th Hunger Games, there was only one victor, Haymitch. After the end of the 75th Hunger Games and during the opening hours of the second rebellion, District 12 was destroyed by the Capitol.

District 13 was one of the districts of Panem. Its main industry was nucle-ar weaponry. It was destroyed by the Capitol since it was the core of the rebellion in the Dark Days. The land is now uninhabitable. However, it has been revealed that the district is still operating. While the surface of District 13 was away from the world and outside of the eyes of the Capitol, they have been preparing the rebellion for years. It is the most dangerous dis-trict, so the Capitol should pay full attention.

<<Stop the rebellions : Katniss Everdeen and District 13 >>

The main objective of this Council is to cease the outrage of District 13 and other lower districts. As stated previously, the conference of the Capitol was formed in response to the rebellions that occurred right after the 74th Hunger Games, in which Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark were victors. Katniss Everdeen serves as the symbol, the Mockingjay, of the rebellion.

The Capitol has already experienced districts’ insurrections during the Dark Days. During the Dark Days, which took place approximately 75 years earlier, various districts opposed against the Capitol due to strict and oppressive rules that they were forced to obey. Eventually, the Capital successfully defeated all districts, and District 13 was totally obliterated. This incident became the foundation of the Hunger Games, which takes place every year. The Hunger Games have been used as a propaganda to show the overwhelming superiority of the Capitol over the districts. It also have been an entertainment for the high class.

Panem claims to its citizens that during the Dark Days, two rebels died for every dead Capitol citizen. However, this is a false information, and the real story is only known to the members of the Council. Not only did the rebels kill half of the population of the Capitol, they also went to the verge of the victory. The only reason Capitol won was because rebels’ leader had died, whose name constantly changed. The leader was a 17 years old caucasian male who was very intelligent and in good shape. It is be-lieved that he died in the last second of the final war when a bomb flashed through. Nobody siding with the Capitol actually saw his death, so people suspect that he is perhaps alive.

75 years have passed since the end of the Dark Days. Public riots started to break out following the rebel-provoking behaviors of Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen in the 74th Hunger Games. There are several reasons to the riots, which shouldn’t be known to the public due to potential riots that

might occur accordingly. First of all, both of them belong to the poorest district, District 12. Also, Katniss Everdeen taking place of her younger sis-ter, Primrose Everdeen, has shown how brave an individual can be. Fur-thermore, Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen’s love, which is assumed as fake, stood them out to the audience, even to the ones in the Capitol. Last-ly, their reactions to the change of rules in the last part of the 74th Hunger Games, in which they tried to eat poisonous berries rather than to fight with one another, have motivated the citizens.

Following the 74th Hunger Games, rebels who have been operating se-cretly started to reveal themselves to the public. The rebels were living in District 13, and before they revealed themselves, their existence was doubtful. The rebels in District 13 were intensively trained, and all of them are now anxious to fight against the Capitol. The leader of the rebels is Alma Coin, who is known to be power-thriving and egomaniacal. They have been fighting against the Capitol by taking several actions. First, they produced propos with Katniss Everdeen, making her the main char-acter, and screened the videos on the television by hacking the system. This was able to happen because journalists who once worked for the Capitol sneaked out and became part of the rebels. Secondly, the reb-els damaged the infrastructures of the Capitol, which killed people living near. These offline actions might mean battles and wars. Third action that they took was to use songs, visual symbols, and gestures to perturb the civilians. The Mockingjay now represents the whole group of vicious reb-els, even though it was once used as a fashion item. The song “Hanging Tree”, sung by Katniss Everdeen purposefully, is now widely sung by peo-ple siding with District 13 when they are moving toward a battle. Along with “Hanging Tree”, the whistle that was used as a communication tool between Rue and Katniss Everdeen is sung often to “commemorate” the tributes. Also, the three-finger salute, mainly used in District 12 to say goodbye or to thank a particular person, was used by Katniss Everdeen for Rue in District 8 and District 11. In order to cease rebellions, effective solutions need to be thought of immediately.

Since the end of the 74th Hunger Games, several actions have been taken by the Capitol in response to rebels’ revolts. First of all, we tried to sup-press the despicable actions taken by Katniss Everdeen by negotiating with her. We threatened her by making her risk the safety of her family, friends, and herself. President Snow used the white rose as the message for Katniss Everdeen. However, while it seemed she was going to keep her words, she broke them later on. The formation of the 75th Hunger Games, in which previous winners of the Hunger Games were gathered to fight each other, was to kill Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark without arousing any suspicions and uprisings. Unfortunately, Katniss Everdeen was not killed by the players. With that, the peacekeepers settled down many riots with radical but desirable methods. The violence involved Hovercrafts and Pods. Opposing against the Capitol and President Snow means execution and severe penalty. Also, to discombobulate the rebels in District 13, mainly Katniss Everdeen and Finnick Odair, we captured Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason, and Annie Cresta. We also used media to cease the tension; we made Peeta Mellark praise the Capitol, hate Katniss Everdeen, and to advise the rebels to stop fighting against the govern-ment. Lastly, we pushed the civilians by bombing District 12 accordingly to the neglection of District 13 after the Dark Days. Unauthorizing one dis-trict is a major event because it means that about one-twelfth of the whole community is now weakened and unsafe without the protection from the government.

However, despite Capitol’s efforts to eliminate the rebels, the rebels are still increasing its influence and power over the civilians.

:Stolen Players with the Destruction of Facilities:These days, the Capitol faces lot of crises that needs to be handled in a proper manner. First of all, the players whom we’ve imprisoned, Peeta Mellark, Johanna Mason, and Annie Cresta, were taken back to District 13 by the rebels; they used physical violence to cause destruction on many infrastructures around the Capitol. It is assumed that Katniss Everdeen made a deal with Alma Coin to cooperate with her if players are all safe under the control of District 13. Therefore, we should figure out if we have to fight again to bring the players back, and if we are going to, we have to come up with a plausible plan. Also, there should be an effective solution to recover the damage on civilians and the facilities.

:Squad 451 the Squad for the Rebels:According to an anonymous message, District 13 is forming a squad, and its main objective is to take down President Snow and ourselves, the Capi-tol. It is assumed that the name of this group is Squad 451 and comprises about 10 members, but exact members are unknown. Individuals most suspected to be in the squad are Gale Hawthorne and Tigris. Bearing in mind that this squad might cause a big trouble later on, the elimination of Squad 451 or stealing information from the squad is vital.

:Riots in other Districts:Along with the riots of District 13, several districts are joining the force. The districts that are now part of the force include District 8 and District 6, and districts that are being stimulated by the rebels are District 2, District 11, and District 10. District 2 being influenced by the rebels was unex-pected since they were loyal to the Capitol. About 110,000 people have died, which is about 5.7% of the total population. Along with those victims, about 5,000 peacekeepers have died while preventing and suppressing ri-ots. While other districts other than these 5 recognized districts are aware of the riots happening within the nation, no direct action is taking place.

current situation

PAGE 15

:Spy in the Council:An anonymous reporter has reported to the Council that someone renown and respected by the Capitol is a spy working for District 13. The spy is currently leaking confidential information, and he/she has a great influ-ence on the Capitol. There’s a high possibility that the spy is actually in the Council. Therefore, being aware of the spy at all times is crucial.

current situation

PAGE 16

Katniss Everdeen Katniss Everdeen is the symbol (mockingjay) of the rebellion. District 13 is her main supporter. She was born in District 12 and is the co-victor of the 74th Hunger Games. She is a very influential figure, so the Capitol should always keep an eye on her. Her flaw is that she is not devoted to District 13 and has post-traumatic stress disorder. She can be easily controlled if one threatens her family mem-bers’ and her loved ones’ lives.

Peeta Mellark Peeta Mellark was the male participant of District 12 of the 74th Hunger Games. He was the victor of it with Katniss Everdeen. Since he is a strong supporter of Katniss, the Capitol had captured him before. We hijacked him in order to make him feel hatred for Katniss Everdeen. He might play a key role at killing Katniss and destroying District 13, but we never know for sure.

Gale Hawthorne Gale is the best friend (with love sparkles) of Kat-niss Everdeen. Gale also sides with rebels of Dis-trict 13. What’s different about him from Katniss Everdeen is that he is willing to risk his relatives and his life to overthrow the government and build a new ideological society.

Haymitch Abernathy Haymitch Abernathy became the victor of the 50th Hunger Games when he was 16. Since he was a mentor of Katniss and Peeta during the 74th Hun-ger Games, he has a close relationship with both of them. Haymitch is an alcoholic and sometimes goes insane. He is an executive in District 13.

Alma Coin Alma Coin is the president of District 13, and she is now the leader of the rebels against the Capi-tol. Alma and the people of District 13 are hidden somewhere in the deep underground, and the Capitol is aware of the location. She is egomania-cal and thrives power. It is assumed that she joined the rebels to become the leader of the society, not because she thought Panem was unjust.

Commander Lyme Commander Lyme is now siding with the rebels and is trying to persuade the people of District 2 to join the group. She is very influential among the citizens because she was a victor of the Hunger Games. She is friendly but also cold - she would do anything to destroy our government. She is successfully persuading District 2 right now.

key figures

PAGE 17

Effie Trinket Effie Trinket was an escort of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark during the 74th and 75th Hun-ger Games. She was originally a citizen of the Cap-itol, but after the 75th Hunger Games, she joined the District 13. Capitol assumes that she is with District 13 and Katniss Everdeen. However, her past actions suggest that Effie might have been forced to join District 13 and still misses her life in the Capitol.

Cressida Cressida is the camera director of the rebel forces of District 13. She originally worked for the Capitol, but she has betrayed us. She plays a main role at making propaganda, which purpose is to gather people to join the rebels.

Plutarch Heavensbee Plutarch Heavensbee is a former Head of Gam-emaker of the Capitol. However, he eventually became the commander of the rebel forces of District 13. He has betrayed us and saved the rebels, especially the symbols. If you find him, kill him right away.

Primrose Everdeen Primrose Everdeen is Katniss Everdeen’s younger sister. She is currently in District 13 working as a healer. Katniss’ weakness is perhaps Primrose because Katniss is very sensitive with her family matters. She was the ultimate reason why Katniss volunteered as a tribute after all.

Finnick Odair Finnick Odair was the victor of the 65th Hunger Games. He is from District 4, where fishing is the main industry, and he has an outstanding physical ability. He is now with District 13 helping Katniss Everdeen. He is married to Annie Cresta.

Johanna Mason Johanna Mason is the victor of the 71st Hunger Games. She is from District 7, where lumber is the main industry. Besides Everdeen and Mellark, she was the youngest participant in the Quarter Quell - she was 21. She is also part of the rebellion of District 13. She has a strong hostility towards the Capitol.

Commander Paylor Commander Paylor is the leader of the revolution in District 8. She was first witnessed when she was helping the injured ones. When the peace-keepers tried to bomb the place where she and the rebels were in, she managed to prevent it from being bombed.

PAGE 18

:Weapons of Mass Destruction:While the use of Weapons of Mass Destructions (WMD) is prohibited, the Capitol built these weapons even before Panem was established. The fact that nobody except the members of the Council is aware of these WMDs and that only the head of the Military Services can access the technology needed to make WMDs advantages us over District 13. These weapons are located in a secret location deep below the Nut (District 2) along with missiles. However, since these weapons were not actually used in the real world and only sample trials were conducted, the exact power of these weapons cannot be measured. However, since they may still cause over-whelming losses in terms of facilities and human resources, careful consid-eration on the usage of these WMDs is vital.

:Propagandas:We can also use the press to suppress the revolts and riots. Throughout the past days, the opposing side used propos to convince the citizens to join their troops, and we should respond to them with propagandas of higher quality. It’s essential to inform people that the government will grant them safety and peace if they abide by the rules. Along with that, non-ag-gressive but threatening messages should be sent out to the rebels for the purpose of fearing and mentally disturbing them. We should also apply undefeatable superiority of President Snow and the high officials of the Capitol to the districts.

:Physical Battle:With prodigious measures taken from District 13, it seems that physical head-on games are inevitable in the future. Therefore, the peacekeepers should be immensely trained and all of the militaristic components should be prepared for a warfare and for its success. The members of the Council should especially be strategic and wise in terms of placing certain troops and operating technological factors of the battle. The Capitol should demonstrate supremacy of the government over District 13 by gaining the victory of the hands-on war.

potential solution

PAGE 19

:Psychological Threat:Threats can be posed to the major players of the Capitol and to the rebels. We can issue ultimatums to major parties, such as peacekeepers. We can suppress these communities by offering them a deal - they would rather get killed by betraying the government or they would rather live by main-taining peace and prosperity of the nation. However, belligerence might result in the complete opposite of what was intended, so diligent plans should be assembled.

:Spies:Along with the rumor that a spy is occupying a high position in Capitol, there is no reason for our government to not send spies or not change an individual’s mind to divulge details debated in District 13. Members should choose carefully on who will get the role to be the spy, because false information should not be given out and the person should be trust-worthy enough for all members to depend on.

potential solution

PAGE 20

President Corionalus Snow President Corionalus Snow is a great leader; Pa-nem would not exist without him. Panem has been ruled peacefully. He is a brutal but wise leader, and he keeps his words, even though it’s not always kept perfectly. Mysteriously, nothing specific about him is known.

Hortensia Gray<Head of the Engineering and Tech-nology Department>

Hortensia Gray is the head of the Engineering and Technology department. Since technology is de-veloped and commonly used in Panem, she plays an essential role. Hortensia is the one who can develop weapons, technical devices, and tackle on information. She was born in an elite family in District 3.

Caesar Flickerman<Master of ceremonies - Representa-tive of the Press>

Originally the Head of Journalism was planning to attend, but due to his sudden illness, Caesar Flick-erman, the master of ceremonies, attends the con-ference instead of him. He is a massive influence in Panem because he is a solid MC of the Hunger Games and is familiar to everyone. He was born in a decent family, and he has interviewed lots of rebels, including Katniss and Peeta. He leads con-versations in a positive manner.

Romulus Thread <Head of the Peace-keepers>

Romulus Thread is the former Head Peacekeeper of District 12, and as a reward to his loyalty and honorable actions, he was bestowed the position of the Head of the peacekeepers in all districts. He is very strict and loyal to the Capitol, but he is quite short-tempered.

Julia Ross<Representative of District 1>

Julia Ross, the wealthiest of all, besides President Snow, comes to the council as the representative of District 1, the place of luxury. She holds an important stance in Panem’s economics, which explains why Panem depends on her.She is the most influential figure in Districts’ eco-nomic issues and has a close relationship with President Snow.

Claudius Guzman<Representative of District 2>

Claudius Guzman is the representative of District 2. He is very stubborn, and he isn’t knowledgeable about the livelihoods of the the public since he has never been poor. He is the best friend of Romu-lus Thread and the enemy of Commander Lyme, who is the general of District 2’s rebellion. He likes to brag about his wealth and his influence. A fun fact about him is that he’s a very lucky person; he always survives.-
