- Ch 35Within three months over a billion people were relocated to Australia; governments and the UN moved to Australian cities and national districts formed.
- Ch 35Resettlement zones are un-networked and egalitarian, with shelter, food and order problems; shelter-houses ran out and huge stadium-sized tents were used.
- Ch 35Within six months half of humanity, 2.1 billion people, had moved to Australia; the resettlement finished with 4.16 billion people there.
- Ch 35Sophon demanded humans resettle 'naked': no heavy military or civilian equipment, only construction materials, medical equipment and necessities.
