[edit] May

- N! does a "The World's Opinion" segment asking people what they think of Operation Genesis. Opinion is mixed: some voice their full approval, while others believe Utopia should tackle problems such as finding André Corbin or various political problems before giving people more land to fight over.[17]
- August 8: Nigerian officials deploy troops along the Nigerian/Niger border, for "security reasons."

- August 16: During a meeting with the Project Utopia board of directors, manager Terrance Whitaker passes on Antaeus' message. Justin J.

- December 14: Gabriel Melchior arrives back in the headquarters of the Church of the Immanent Escheaton, making an angry broadcast to the world, making references to "the twin-headed serpents of Proteus and Triton" having locked him in a cell and pumped him full of vile drugs to enact their satanic plan: making a false Eden in the desert. He threatens that "all who hold evil in their hearts will sicken and die." Proteus blocks the broadcast.[28]
