The capitol And 13 had a deal, 13 would look dead on the surface for propaganda for what happens when you rebel. 13 was going to be nuclear Bombed by the Capitol, but they had a larger store. It would be MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). The Capitol thought 13 would die out naturally without the Capitol, they didn't.
District 13 is more egalitarian but different than communism. While I agree in theory that in in Communism everyone would be poor, there would still be class differences in practice, though not socially accepted / acknowledged. It would be about all 'having' the same (not necessarily 'being' the same).
Exactly when Panem formed is also unknown, as is its original form and layout. Some theories suggest that the Districts were once independent nations that arose from the cataclysm and that the Capitol found the means to conquer or unite them all.
One could argue that District 13's strict culture is a necessity as the citizens need to be prepared for a war against the Capitol, but it's hardly a consolation because they had to wait for the better part of a century to actually launch an offensive.

District 13 wasn't bombed off the map, nor were they only "mostly" bombed off the map and then recovered in secrecy; instead, they signed a secret neutrality agreement with the Capitol. District 13 would let everyone else believe they no longer existed, and in exchange they'd be left alone forever.
President Alma Coin is the main antagonist of Mockingjay, the final novel of The Hunger Games trilogy. She is the president of District 13 and is very corrupt and in some ways worse than President Coriolanus Snow.
Setting. The Hunger Games trilogy takes place in an unspecified future time, in the dystopian, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, located in North America. The country consists of a wealthy Capitol city, located in the Rocky Mountains, surrounded by twelve (originally thirteen) poorer districts ruled by the Capitol.
Agriculture was the main industry of District 11 as the land was covered in orchards, crop fields, and cattle farms. District 11 was one of the poorest districts and its citizens lived in small shacks in an area patrolled by Peacekeepers. Rue was one of the most notable citizens that came out of District 11.

District 11 also seems to be one of the poorer districts; the citizens are not allowed to eat any of the crops- presumably because nearly everything is reserved for the Capitol- and Katniss Everdeen describes the local housing as poor, even compared to the Seam in District 12.

We know that the history of Panem stretches for a time that is at least longer than 75 years. We know this because 74 years ago, the original districts rose up against the Capitol during a period known as the Dark Days.
