Fiji is a South Pacific archipelago composed of 332 islands and more than 500 islets located about 2.000 km (1.300 mi) north of New Zealand. Almost 90% of the 926.276 inhabitants live in the two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Fiji has one of the most developed economies in the Pacific due to an abundance of natural resources, and this translates into a more diverse new car market with no less than 17 manufacturers sharing official sales figures.
