Its closest neigbors are the Melanesian Republic to the west and southwest, the Island States of Micronesia to the north, the United Polynesian Islands to the east, and Yangaea to the south. Kadavu is divided into two main archipelagos, the Fijian archipelago, and the Tuvalian archipelago. These two archipelagos are made up of hundreds of smaller islands, many of which are uninhabited, and house the Kadavian population of 774,000. The majority of the population live in the Fijian archipelago, but more and more and migrating to the Tuvalian region. Virtually all gold mined in Kadavu, a staple of the economy, is produced in the south, with sugar plantations and other farms dominating the Tuvalian region. Around 3/4 of Kadavians live on islands' coasts, due to the volcanic terrain making it dificult to develop infrastructure inland.

Kadavu has one of the most developed economies in the Pacific thanks to its abundant forest, mineral, and fish resources. Its currency is the Kadavian Guilder, and its main sources of foreign exchange are its tourism and sugar and gold exports. However, in the recent years, the financial sector in Kadavu has boomed and is expected to dominate the countries' GDP in the coming years.
