In 1816, he became emperor. Throughout his reign, he was known for his expansion of the arts and architecture, funding many buildings such as the Arch of Ivez The Great in front of the Emperor's Palace in 1826, the Theatre of Delan in Kotess in 1832, and the Theatre of Ivez II in Bliskot in 1839. Aside from this, Ivez also became involved in the first Railroads that were build between Ulaka and Sukut in 1834. He also expanded the Constitution a few times by the addition of more federal government and the inclusion of the Twin Gods as the official State Religion. Ivez died at a relative young age of 59, due to lung problems. He ruled the Empire for almost exactly 25 years.

Ivez II had more in common with his grandfather than his father. He was more conservative and Imperialist. Despite that, Ivez II was also a great lover of culture. Aside from his architectural projects, he also helped fund artists that ranged from Realist painters to Baroque composers. In person, Ivez II had a more authoritative style than his father. He often wore elaborate uniforms, since he held the rank of Captain in the Imperial Navy. In that same style, Ivez instigated the Military Parade, where in succession, the Army and Navy were granted a military march through Ulaka each two years. Ivez struggled with health after his 40s, owing to a smoking habit. This ended his life abruptly when in 1841 he was treated by his physician but was unable to recover.
