The Senyan frontier is the official government term for the land and sea borders of Senya. Senya currently shares a border with Natopia's territory of Arboria to the north-west, Jingdao to the south, as well as coastal waters to the north-east and a frontier against the unclaimed territories to the north. Senya has previously shared land borders with Elwynn (1589–1600), Shireroth (1589–1617), Palasia (1599–1607), the Apollonian Republic (1617–1634), Gerenia (1626–1636), Jexit (1638–1641) and Francia (1684–1685).

Border crossings

Air

A number of Senyan airports receive international flights, requiring them to have a Senyan Border Force presence. This is typically done by sealing off the arrivals hall in each airport off from the rest of the airport, and requiring passengers to pass through passport control prior to heading to baggage reclaim or boarding a connecting flight. Whilst Senyan nationals and nationals of selected other nations may pass through a simple bio-metric check, all other nationals, as well as children under the age of 18 must report to a border guard. Following the baggage reclaim area, passengers pass through a customs control area, where passengers are asked to declare certain items. Failure to do so, or to try and smuggle any contraband items into Senya is a criminal offence.

In the rare occasion that a non-international airport receives an international flight (typically during emergencies), local police officers will prevent disembarkment until border and customs officers can be dispatched.

Air traffic is the most common method for foreigners to enter and leave Senya.

Additionally, Senya takes its airspace very seriously, and is monitored by the Senyan armed forces. Whilst commercial, chartered and some special flights (such as those of foreign leaders) are exempted, it is typically illegal for private citizens of a foreign nation to fly an aircraft into Senyan airspace. Even if the craft does not land in Senya, it is considered to be an illegal crossing of the Senyan border and is thus punishable by the aforementioned punishments.

Rail

The Senyan Rail network currently extends into other nations at three separate points, all of which are home to border stations. The Senyan–Arborian border is intersected by the Dyas–Meiridosa line, whilst the Senyan–Jingdaoese border is crossed on both the Tiga–Yuanbeicheng and Svorgas–Daocheng lines.
