==Birth and early life==
Born Seiteia Seianavio on 10 February 1968, her given name is a traditional name which means ''servant of God''. She was born in Freice City, now [[Sekapa]], the capital of the ''then'' Colony of Freice. Her mother, Maoateuamava XVII, was the 17th Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio (born Seianavio), and her father, Kailita Liseaua, who took the name Paiwaia (derived from the phrase ''Faithful Prince'').<ref name=": Birth">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Her Highness Maoateuamava XVIII, Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio"].

==Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio==
On her mother's death, she succeeded her as the 18th Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio, taking the regnal name '''Maoateuamava XVIII''' as is traditional. Although the position has no formal power and is not legally recognised, the institution of the Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio retains significant respect amongst the population, particularly in rural areas. In 1993, Maoateuamava met with the ''then'' President of the Assembly of Delegates Fatela Kana, raising hopes amongst supporters that the monarchy was going to be re-established.<ref name=": Monarch1">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Freician president meets with pre-colonial monarch"].

===2021 Negotiations with Aniara Neileka===
In July 2021, Batoia Iane Saime, a member of the Assembly of Delegates, raised the possibility of a formal role for the Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio, claiming that she would bring legitimacy to a government widely seen as a 'creation of western imperialism'.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "A Return for the Queen?"].

The Common Wealth Party, a socialist political party, declared the discussions unconstitutional. Although there was a large number of members who were supporters of the monarchy, representing the traditionalist wing of the party, the leadership and party secretary Rarei Nemiesa were fervent anti-monarchists. The party led a coup d'état against President Aniara on 18 July 2021.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Freice government falls to political revolutionaries"]. ''Political Weekly''. Retrieved 20 July 2021.</ref> Rarei Nemiesa, leader of the Common Wealth Party, assumed power as 'Leader of the Senior Council', with Aniara placed under house arrest.

==Marriage and family==
Maoateuamava first met lawyer Suiasu Tarisoiu in June 1987, when he was employed to represent the Maoateuamava family in its land dispute with the Freician government. The two began a relationship after the dispute was settled in December of that year, creating significant controversy in May 1988 when the two began living together out of wedlock.<ref name=": Commoner">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "His Highness Rao Aoialaneia"]. ''inekiga.fa''. Retrieved 18 March 2020.</ref> In February 1988, the couple announced their engagement; although he was not the first commoner to have a relationship with an Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio, it was the first time that a commoner had married the monarch. Initial plans for the marriage to be held in June of 1989 were pushed back following Rao Paiwaia's public condemnation of the marriage.<ref name=": Commoner2">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Dispute over commoner marriage in Freice royal family"]. ''Riamo News''. 1989. Retrieved 2 June 2019.</ref>
 
By January 1990, the internal family dispute over the marriage had been settled. In June 1990, Maoateuamava married Suiasu in a Christian ceremony, followed by a traditional Freician marriage ceremony. In accordance with tradition, Suiasu took a royal name, selecting Aoialaneia (Loyal Husband), and was granted the style of ''Highness'' and the title ''Rao'' by his wife.<ref name=": Marriage1">[https://i.imgur.com/LJrd3HN.jpg/ "Aio'i Keikitoe Ritio marries lawyer"].
