The Neighborhood (近界, Neibāfuddo Lit. Near World ?), also referred to as Neighbor World (近界民 の 世界, Neibā no Sekai ?), is the world from another dimension where Neighbors like Yūma Kuga and Trion Soldiers originated from.
Each country travels across the sea of darkness on their own orbits, like average celestial bodies. Yūgo Kuga called this existence Planet Nation (惑星国家, Wakusei Kokka ?). Their movements are a bit different from those of planets orbiting the sun, but many of planet nations brush by the human world while revolving closer and farther.[1] Every planet runs on a star (which itself is a Trigger). The star must be kept fueled, or it will die, and the land would eventually crumble.[2] Only when they're close to Earth, that they can send out their Away Ship and open an interdimensional gate to carry out an invasion.[1]

Certain planet nations don't have fixed orbits and fly around freely in the Neighborhood. These have been called Errant Nations (乱星国家, Ransei Kokka ?).[3]
