It turns out that New Zealand actually has about one car for every two people, contrary to my earlier guess, now picked up and expanded on elsewhere.
The true wits among you can do what you wish with this data about New Zealand: 4 million people, 2 million cars, 40 million sheep.
The sheep population has dropped from 70 million in 1982, after the elimination of agricultural subsidies. (When the population was around 3 million).
