Some families might have knocked on the door of the First Headquarters.
November doxxing incident

Shortly afterwards, the coordinates to the Eastern Back Fields oblast were doxxed.
Several users from the website Our World of Text may have illegally visited the property of the first headquarters.
After the incident, the Gerrian government is currently thinking about buying security cameras on Ring. In order to detect any immigrants from the United States who illegally trespass Gerrian borders.
On 23 November 2022, A man (presumably one from OWOT) knocked on the door of Gerria's First Headquarters near Entrance Fields Oblast. In response, Benjamin is asking his dad to buy security cameras, presumably those sold by the company Ring.
December doxxing incident

Benjamin, now in a fury, said that he banned all OWOTers from entering his territory and that he won't be accepting visits from the website community. He told this information to his parents, causing his whole family to rise up against the OWOT community. His mother agreed to buy security cameras to detect illegal OWOT refugees who trespass the Gerrian borders, otherwise, Gerria might have to move it's headquarters further out to another place, which would echo the time when Gerria temporarily moved it's headquarters to Galveston Beach House oblast during the Great Water Outage of 2022 (see above for more info).

On 19 January 2023, Gerria again declared war on OWOT and launch attacks and assualts against everything north of the publicity sqaure inside the spawn area, lime, e_g, and the static fought back, Gerrian leader Posada now in a fury rages in all caps and threatened everyone to surrender, fp took immediate action and Gerrian leader Posada was muted, as a result, Gerria lost the war to the OWOT community, and as a result, the Gerrian government is currently deciding to block access to Our World of Text and it's predecessor Your World of Text.
In the aftermath of the war, the Gerrian government is currently planning on hiring and entering relations with other micronations nearby for help in stopping the OWOT community from winning any further, Cyclodia and the Commonwealth of Dracul are the two best candidates for Gerria to hire within months after the war.
