Káámarakatu Raiatia'atiauelao was the following Empress and was especially notable for overseeing the greatest extent of the Loa Empire. She extended conquered the northern Polynesian kingdoms which had developed a coalition to resist the Loa. in 1748, the northern kingdoms were conquered and the attention of the Eighteen Standards was turned to the Romany Kingdoms of the northeast. The [[Ruin of the Romany|conquest]] was completed in 1751, which resulted in the severe persecution and migration of the Romany into the nearby lands, forming the basis of Navidadian [[Delepasians]]. However, the majority of her attention was devoted to expanding the navy and conquering the Kindred Islands. The Loa Empire served as the primary force behind Kiravian efforts during the [[Kindred Wars]]. The western islands were quickly conquered throughout the 1750s and 60s, with the eastern islands being heavily contested between Kiravia, the Loa Empire, [[Pelaxia]] and [[Caphiria]]. These wars ended with the Loa keeping the [[Krasoa Islands]] while Pelaxia maintained control over it's colonies. These islands were then transferred to Kiravian control in 1774. In the last years of her reign, the Empress had planned for a conquest of the northern regions, but a succession crisis ensued when her direct heir died from cancer at the age of 19. This meant that her sister, Pueakao, rose as the heir to the Empire, and when Raiatia'atiauelao died in 1780 she succeeded her mother. | Káámarakatu Raiatia'atiauelao was the following Empress and was especially notable for overseeing the greatest extent of the Loa Empire.

Káámarakatu Raiapueakaoiso'o became the fourth Empress, though her succession was unexpected. She retreated on her mother's plans to invade the north. This characterized her reign, with a strong focus on inward development and defensive wars against Almadarian and Delapasian incursions. She expanded agricultural development, focusing on balancing sugar and spice export alongside internal agricultural improvements. Occidental and Kiraivic techniques were imported alongside improvements to existing strategies, developing modern Loa wet rice agroforestry. She also invested in significant manufactured goods, such as in firearms, processed sugar, textiles and ceramics. This led to a significant population boom. However, one of the most significant elements of her reign was the encouragement and tolerance towards Polynesians and Polynesian culture she demonstrated. The Empress led significant efforts to revitalize Polynesian culture, such as the establishment of a new writing system utilizing elements of the old Polynesian scripts and the transcribing of old works for the common people. Further, she enabled the Polynesians to exit the plantation system through examinations modeled off of the Imperial exams, which led to the quick establishment of a Polynesian merchant class. This was facilitated by the further establishment of independent companies to forge connections with outside nations to strengthen the Loa position in both the world and in comparison to the relationship with Kiravia. | Káámarakatu Raiapueakaoiso'o became the fourth Empress, though her succession was unexpected.

However, the latter years of Raiapueakaoiso'o were defined by a succession crisis in which her heir and only legitimate daughter dies unexpectedly from cancer. When she died in 1818, her daughter by a Polynesian lover ascended to the throne. | ||
